The right water heater can provide you and your family with a steady hot water supply. Many factors contribute to deciding which water heater is best for your property. They include the square footage of your home, how much hot water you use daily, and where you want to install the water heater.
You can choose between traditional models with a tank and tankless water heaters. Both are usually installed in utility rooms and basements or inside cabinets. After you’ve decided what type you want, you’ll also need to maintain it. You’ll also need a dedicated service provider to repair the water heater if problems arise.
We’ve offered comprehensive services at Dilling, Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical since 1955. Our workers have the knowledge and skill set to perform water heater installations and repairs in Charlotte according to your plumbing needs.
When choosing a water heater replacement in Charlotte, you must decide whether you want a tanked or tankless water heater model. A tanked water heater can hold up to 80 gallons of water, is energy-efficient and uses a heating element to warm the water. The heated water remains in the tank until you need it. However, once the tank empties, you must wait for it to refill and warm up a new supply of hot water.
A tankless water heater installation in Charlotte can be done inside a cabinet or connected directly to a fixture like a sink. The water heater heats the water with heating coils as it flows through the water pipes. These models are also energy-efficient; you won’t have to wait for a tank to fill before it heats the water.
You can get a gas or an electric water heater. Both models are energy-efficient but heat the water differently. Gas water heaters connect to gas lines and use gas to heat the water.
When the thermostat engages, gas flows to the burner, and an electric pilot light heats the water inside the tank. We will install the gas water heater and connect it to the electrical panel, water inlets, and gas lines.
An electric water heater engages when the thermostat detects cooler water temperatures inside the tank. The water heater uses an electric heating element to heat the water. We can connect these electrical water heaters to the water inlet and wire it into the electrical panel.
Common tanked water heater problems start with heating element issues. If you aren’t getting hot water, this element may be faulty. Sediment can also build up inside the tank and cause tank damage and leaks. If you hear excessive noises, minerals and sediment are most likely the problem.
Faulty valves and thermostat issues can also slow down hot water access. If there are signs of sediment or tank damage, we can examine the anode rod and tell you if you need a replacement. You should schedule water heater repair in Charlotte if you notice any of those problems.
Tankless water heaters can also become problematic if minerals build up in the heat exchanger. A damaged heat exchanger won’t heat water efficiently and could cause temperature irregularities.
These models can also have system overloads if your family tries to access hot water from different fixtures simultaneously. If you have limited hot water access, your water heater could be the wrong size. We can perform tankless water heater repair in Charlotte if there’s a problem or install a new one.
Both water heater types require routine maintenance, and we can perform these services for you. Tanked water heaters require tank flushes to remove sediment, and descaling is necessary for tankless models.
We’ll test pressure relief valves and make sure water flows as expected. Our team also reviews installation around the tank and pipes, checks for leaks, and tests the thermostat.
Water heaters are invaluable for all families, and the model you choose determines how quickly you can get hot water. You can get a tanked or tankless water heater and set up a professional installation. After your water heater is installed, you’ll need to set up routine maintenance and repairs as needed.
Our team performs professional installations, repairs, and routine maintenance. All new water installations come with warranties, and we guarantee all of our services. If you need help with any of these matters, contact Dilling today and schedule an appointment.
