There are several different types of water heaters available for both residential and commercial use. One of the most popular types is a traditional tank water heater. This type of water heater has a tank filled with water up to a certain capacity, and the heater keeps that water warm at all times. It then delivers that water to the faucet when it is turned on. These are also sometimes called storage water heaters because they store the heated water rather than heating it on demand.
Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, heat water on demand. While tankless water heaters have become more popular over time because they are smaller, they are usually more expensive than traditional water heaters and are primarily suitable for small homes. Nod’s Plumbing does not currently install electric tankless water heaters, although there are other types of tankless heaters on the market, including gas-powered tankless water heaters.
If you notice your water heater is on the fritz, Nod’s Plumbing will advise you on whether you need to repair or fully replace your water heater. Water heater repairs will patch some issues, but most water heaters with tanks need to be replaced about once every 10 to 15 years. Tankless water heaters might last longer, up to 20 years. Most water heaters will begin to degrade and become less effective as they reach the end of their lifespan.
If a water heater has a major leak that involves water escaping from the side of the tank, it will need to be replaced. Rust and corrosion are also impossible to repair and will require full water heater replacement in Reno.
