What is A Water Heater?
A water heater is a device that is used to heat water for various purposes, such as bathing, cooking, and cleaning. It consists of a tank or a reservoir that holds the water and a heating element that raises the temperature of the water to the desired level.
Here are some common types of water heaters:
-
This is the most common type of water heater. It consists of a large tank that stores and heats a specific amount of water. The heated water is then available for use throughout the day.
-
Also known as on-demand or instantaneous water heaters, these units heat the water directly as it flows through the device, without the need for a storage tank. They provide hot water instantly and are energy-efficient since they only heat water when needed.
-
This type of water heater uses electricity to move heat from the air or ground to heat the water. It is more energy-efficient than a traditional electric water heater because it transfers heat instead of generating it.
-
Solar water heaters utilize sunlight to heat the water. They consist of solar collectors that absorb the sun's heat and transfer it to the water. These systems can be an excellent option for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint and save on energy costs.
-
This type of water heater is designed to extract heat from the flue gases to preheat cold water entering the unit. By capturing and utilizing waste heat, condensing water heaters achieve higher energy efficiency compared to conventional models.
It's worth noting that each type of water heater has its own advantages and considerations, so it's important to choose the one that best suits your needs and circumstances.

Signs You Need Water Heater Repairs

-
• Lack of hot water
• Not enough hot water
• Very poor water pressure
• Rust-colored water coming from your faucets
• Unusual noises, including rumbling or popping sounds and high-pitched whining
• Unpleasant odors, including a rotten-egg smell
• Water leaking or pooled at or near the base of the water heater
• Fluctuating water temperatures
• Hot water that runs out faster than usual

While many water heater issues can be effectively addressed with professional water heater repairs, some problems signify larger issues that may necessitate replacement.
When considering whether to repair or replace your water heater, here are some things to keep in mind:
The Age of Your Water Heater: Generally speaking, most traditional gas water heaters are designed to last about 10 years. Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, can last upward of 20 years or more. If your water heater is near the end of its typical lifespan, and you are experiencing a lot of issues that require frequent repairs, it might be time to consider replacing your water heater altogether.
The Frequency and Cost of Repairs: If your water heater breaks down a lot, or if it has a major issue that costs about half the price or more of buying and installing a new water heater, it might benefit you to replace the water heater altogether, rather than continue paying for repairs. A new water heater will also likely last a long time and have fewer issues, thereby not only saving you money but also considerable stress and hassle in the long run.
Higher Than Usual Energy Bills: Higher than usual energy bills could indicate that your water heater is no longer as efficient as it once was. The same is true if you have to turn faucets higher to get hot water, or if you are not getting much hot water at all. When this starts to happen, you could schedule water heater repairs—but if your water heater is old and/or breaks down often, you may benefit more from replacing it.
If your water heater is not performing as well as it should, our experts at Robison can help determine whether you should consider replacing it with a newer, more energy-efficient model. We can help you look at all your options and weigh the costs and benefits of each so that you can feel confident moving forward with your service.
