Hot Water Tanks
Good hot water tanks quickly heat water for continuous and prolonged use. There are different sizes and can hold anywhere from 20 to 100 gallons of water. The tanks are powered either by natural gas, propane, heating oil, electricity, or solar power. Most households employ electric or natural gas heaters. In comparison with tankless options, these heaters have the advantage of using gas at a relatively slow rate. However, after some time, the water inside a gas heater cools off, forcing the system to restart. When the entire tank is drained of hot water, for instance, after a long shower or a hot bath, it may take some time to refill.
Typical hot water tanks last from 10 to 12 years before needing replacement. Usually all that is necessary is some minor repair. Common heater related problems include discolored water, improper temperature changes, leaking, and consistently cold water. These repairs are routine for Copper City Plumbing, and very affordable. We can also inspect your tank for integrity — saving you from extensive damage which would require having to replace an entire system.
Tankless Water Heaters
Copper City Plumbing also installs tankless heaters. These are also called: instantaneous, continuous flow, inline, flash, on-demand or instant-on water heaters. Unlike a traditional hot water tank, water is not stored within the mechanism. These water heaters instantly heat water as it flows through the device. Tankless heaters are either gas or electric powered. With either option, water passes over a heat exchanger coil. Because they do not store water, this on-demand system is often the most cost-effective, energy-efficient choice for one's heating needs. The user is able to select the desired temperature, and the water flow is continuous until it is no longer needed. It then goes into a stand-by mode.
Homes that employ the tankless heater option often employ several throughout the house. For example, there may be one in the shower and a separate one for the dishwasher. There are also large “house” models that can handle the water heating needs of the entire home. Copper City Plumbing can help you choose the right model(s) for your home. Let us help you use tankless heaters and save energy, money, and the headache of complex plumbing.
