Our Jacksonville Plumbers install water heater replacements regularly because tank failure is one of the most common causes of leaks. A water heater can usually be repaired unless the tank rusts through. A water heater tank contains internal sacrificial anode rods which rust instead of the tank. If maintenance isn’t done every 3-4 years or more frequently, the tank will fail early. When it comes time to replace the water heater, the homeowner has the option to upgrade to a whole home instantaneous water heater or a point-of-use tankless water heater can be installed. They come in gas or electric models with different options available. If it’s time to replace your water heater tank or you are thinking about improving your Jacksonville’s home energy efficiency, a tankless water heater may be just what you need. They help to conserve water and save energy. But one of the best features is having instant access to all the hot water you could ever want. You won’t have to deal with minutes of running the tap to get to the hot water. Depending on your household needs and the amount of hot water used at peak hours of a day, you might want to think about either a whole-house tankless water heater or about instant water heating units installed in strategic places throughout the house. These units are compact, efficient and affordable. As professional Jacksonville plumbers, we are often asked how instant hot water heater work. Here are some key points to consider about instant water heaters.
