With so many types of water heaters on the market, it cannot be easy to decide which one is right for you and your family’s needs. Fortunately, some key factors should help you select the perfect water heater for your home. JNR Plumbing, local experts in water heater repair in Darien, CT, shares the top factors to consider below:
Size and Capacity
The tank size will determine how much hot water is available at any given time, and the unit’s capacity will dictate how quickly it can heat up water. If you choose a unit that is too small, you may find yourself running out of hot water during peak times; if you choose one that is too large, you could be wasting energy as it heats more than necessary. Thus, before getting a water heater installation, it is essential to consider the water usage needs of each family member to ensure the water heater can adequately handle your household’s demand for hot water.
Energy Efficiency
Look for an ENERGY STAR-certified tankless water heater with improved technologies, such as self-modulating systems, which adjust the flow of hot water as needed to help reduce energy consumption. Also, consider investing in a timer that helps reduce the energy consumed when you’re not home to benefit from hot water. Additionally, if your current system is more than ten years old, it may be time for an upgrade, as newer models are much more efficient and can help save on utility bills over time.
Warranties and Service Plans
Many manufacturers offer extended warranties that provide coverage for up to seven years after installation. These warranties will typically cover materials and workmanship defects and labor costs associated with the repair or water heater replacement. You should also look into a system’s service plans. Typically, you will get covered for annual inspections, water heater maintenance tasks, and emergency services in case of a breakdown.
Choosing the best water heater for your home can be a daunting task, but with some research and knowledge of water heating services, it is possible to find one that fits your needs. For professional water heater services, contact JNR Plumbing today.
