Water Heater Services in El Dorado Hills

Are you tired of scrambling each morning to take advantage of what little hot water is left in your El Dorado Hills’ plumbing lines? Nearly every family has dealt with this dilemma at least once. While part of the problem involves some people taking lengthy showers, the other side of the equation can usually be explained by that machine sitting in your basement or utility closet.

The sole role of a water heater is to provide an adequate supply of hot water for a building’s occupants. Adequate is the keyword here, however. While conventional, tank-equipped water heaters come in a wide array of sizes, no tank capacity can account for human error (i.e. excessive hot water use) 100% of the time.

Tank vs. tankless…the eternal hot water heater debate
To ensure home and business owners never run out of hot H2O, manufacturers developed the now extremely popular tankless water heater. As the name suggests, these devices function entirely without the use of a storage tank; linked to an inline heating element, they provide hot water on demand.

In light of the many benefits afforded by these new age devices, Flowrite Plumbing would like to note that standard water heaters are advantageous in many situations. They are far from obsolete, and will always be preferred by a sizable number of home and business owners. With that, we would like to provide some interesting water heater statistics, some of which probably apply to your family!

Information to be mindful of

  • Water heaters comprise roughly 1/5 of your energy usage – this is not an insignificant number, folks. There is a lot you can do to reduce the amount you spend in annual gas and electricity costs, such as limiting the length of daily showers, washing laundry in cold water, and upgrading to a tankless water heater if the situation calls for such.
  • More homeowners are taking advantage of government tax credits – if you do choose to install a tankless water heater in El Dorado Hills, you can expect to receive a tax credit upwards of $300. Since this is considered an eco-friendly home improvement project, you will enjoy a little more money in your pocket.
  • Traditional tank-equipped water heaters are much cheaper – at least with respect to up-front costs; buyers should expect to pay twice as much for a tankless model at the time of installation, which is why the latter are deemed more beneficial in the long-term.

At Flowrite, we know our customers are not experts when it comes to knowing what type of water heater is best for their residential or commercial needs. To help you make the right choice, our crew will walk you through the pros and cons of each option. They are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for your convenience.
