How to Select the Ideal Water Heater for Your Home

The best water heater for your home depends on your needs and your budget.

Some of the most common types of water heaters include:

• Conventional storage tank water heaters – These are the most common water heaters. They store a large amount of hot water in a tank and keep it heated. When you turn the hot water tap, the tank sends hot water to the faucet. Once the tank’s hot water is used up, it refills and heats the fresh water for you.
• Tankless water heaters – These water heaters do not have a storage tank. Instead, they heat the water as needed. Water is heated as it passes through the water heater, going straight to the faucet. This process means that you will never run out of hot water. Tankless water heaters are more expensive to install than conventional storage tank water heaters, so they are not the best choice for everyone.
• Heat pump water heaters – These water heaters use electricity to move heat from the air or the ground to heat the water. They are more energy-efficient than conventional storage tank water heaters, but they are also more expensive to install.
• Solar water heaters – These water heaters use the sun’s energy to heat the water. They are the most energy-efficient type of water heater, but they are also the most expensive to install. They can, however, save you more money on your energy bills.

Signs You Need a New Water Heater

There is a problem when your current water heater is:

• Leaking
• Not working at all
• Making strange noises
• Not heating the water properly
• Not producing enough hot water

If you are not sure whether or not you need to replace your water heater, our team can inspect your current system. We will let you know if it needs to be replaced or if we can repair it instead.

Why Is My Water Heater Making Strange Noises?

If your water heater is making strange noises, several common issues could be the cause:

• Sediment Accumulation: Over time, minerals and debris can settle at the bottom of the tank. When the heating element activates, the sediment can move around, causing crackling, popping, or rumbling sounds.
• Increased Water Pressure: Excessively high water pressure can result in banging or knocking noises, often referred to as "water hammer."
• Thermal Expansion: As water heats up, it expands. If there isn't enough room for the expanding water, you might hear popping or banging sounds.
• Loose Heating Elements: In electric water heaters, the heating elements can loosen over time, leading to vibrations or humming noises.
• Broken Dip Tube: The dip tube directs cold water to the bottom of the tank. If it’s damaged, cold water can mix with hot water at the top, which may cause unusual sounds.
• Sediment on Heating Elements: In electric units, sediment can coat the heating elements, creating sizzling or hissing noises as they heat.
• Worn Anode Rod: The anode rod helps prevent corrosion inside the tank. If it wears down, it might create a humming or rattling sound.

If the noises persist or seem unusual, it's advisable to have a professional take a look at your water heater to ensure it's functioning properly.
