Brownish/rusty water appears from hot water spigots
Presence of water around the water heater/water heater leaking visibly
Noisy water heater (makes banging or rumbling sounds as it heats up)
Your water heater is more than ten years old (call your manufacturer for details)

Hot Water Heater Installation and Replacement

When your water heater is no longer cost-effective to repair, it is inevitably time for a new water heater installation. Replacement of your existing water heater or installation of a new unit in a different place is essential for you to continue getting hot water at your home or commercial property. Whatever model or unit you choose, our water heater technicians are here to help you throughout the entire process.

Making the Right Choice: Hot Water Heater Replacement Guide

When it’s time for a replacement, consider picking a new water heater that helps your budget and the planet at the same time. We carry both conventional tank water heaters and high-efficiency tankless water heaters, and all of the water heaters that we sell meet the Environmental Protection Agency’s new standards for water heater efficiency levels. Heating water typically accounts for approximately 20% of the average home’s energy usage budget, and the greatest efficiency gains are common with models that have capacities of 55 gallons or more (typically found in commercial buildings as they are larger than the average household requires).

Toss the Tank: Tankless Hot Water Heater Services in Beckley, WV

Is a tankless water heater right for you? Tankless water heaters are a great way to save energy and fuel costs over the years, as they are available in both electric and gas-fueled models. These water heaters are small and compact, and there is no need to worry about leaks or sediment settling in them. Newer models are compact, easy to use, and even have the option of wireless control through apps so you can always monitor your usage, control startup, shut off even miles away from the unit, and more. If you want to turn your household modern and eco-friendly, also consider having our technicians install a Mitsubishi ductless HVAC system. You’ll save hundreds or even thousands on energy bills and may be able to take advantage of hefty government rebates!
