Does Your Plumber Recommend an Electric Water Heater?

When considering the best choices in plumbing, modern Electric Water Heaters can easily save you thousands of dollars over a 10-year period with their energy efficient designs. Many water heaters, like the Rheem Performance Platinum 65 gal. 10-Year Hybrid High Efficiency Smart Tank Electric Water Heater shown here, include an integrated Wi-Fi connection for mobile alerts if there is a potential leak. In fact, units like this one can pay for itself in 2-3 years thanks to an amazing 3.70 energy factor and features that deliver long-term savings. This unit also features additional smart features like High Demand mode to allow your hybrid to provide more hot water or Vacation Mode to save energy and costs when you're away. The model shown here provides more hot water than many standard residential electric models providing ample hot water for households with 3-5 people or homes with 3+ bathrooms.

 There are many models and options of water heaters available, so if you’re considering replacing or upgrading your gas water heater with an electric water heater, ask your plumbing professional at Anthony’s Plumbing for our recommendations. There’s no charge for a consultation, of course. As a family-owned and operated local plumbing business, we have been establishing long-term relationships with our customers for over 20 years, and our goal is to provide the best information and service to you and your home.

 Many homeowners believe that the days of the gas water heater are all but over, given the efficiency, energy and cost savings and ease of maintenance of modern electric water heaters. Water heater repair is believed to be very costly, and many people put it off as long as possible. Some people ask themselves how long they can take cold showers until they absolutely have to call for help? In a matter so routine as taking a bath or shower, it shouldn’t be that way. To help you in your decision, we now offer financing [on approved credit]. The only real choices now are whether to choose tankless water heaters or traditional water heater? When it comes to making a wise choice, electric tankless water heaters are much easier to install, and easier generally means less expensive as well.  Correct installation is key to getting the most from your new tankless water heater. Regardless of the type of water heater you choose, a qualified professional will help you determine the best type of heater to purchase, correctly size the unit, and ensure that the gas pipes or electrical requirements and venting match the units needs. While it is true that Home Depot and Lowe’s offer many options, the current configuration in your home should be factored in, and a qualified professional can help you consider your options before making a final decision. 

If your hot water heater is working, you can continue as you are, and hope for the best, or you can call us for a free consultation. Changing your current hot water heater can save you money over time. Let us show you how.
