Why Select a Tankless Water Heater Ottawa?

It’s interesting to note that many Ottawa residents don’t know what a tankless water heater is — much less how the thing even works. Meanwhile, few understand the advantages of a tankless water heater over a traditional water heater. 

Most Ottawans don’t know what a tankless water heater is or how it works.  Even fewer are familiar with the advantages it has over the traditional style water heaters. Essential benefits of a tankless water heater include the following:

• Endless supply of hot water. A traditional water heater tank must fill up before heating the water. A tankless water heater, meanwhile, warms water instantly and directly through the flow. You won’t have to reduce shower time or stagger shower times so that multiple showers aren’t used simultaneously.
• Conserves Space. If you’re tired of how much space the traditional water heater takes up in your basement, you’ll be thrilled to know that a tankless water heater is the ultimate space-saver. You can have it installed on a wall or even in a closet.
• Money Saving. A tankless water heater will also save money since it’ll require less maintenance than a traditional water heater. Water is heated on an as-needed basis, so you’ll save money with a tankless water heater.

Signs That It Is Time to Change Your Tankless Water Heater Ottawa

Water heaters, like other appliances in your home, have a limited lifecycle. At Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services, we advise being on the lookout for the following signs to figure out if the time has come to pursue a new water heater.

Age of the water heater

Most water heaters have a 10-15 year lifespan, while gas heaters may last between six and 8 years. One reason to replace older heaters is that they’re more likely to break down and use higher amounts of electricity.

Rusty water tank

Finding any rust in a local hot water heater in Ottawa can be harder than you think since it can only be found in pipes leading to a water heater and not in it. You should carefully check for signs of rust on the pressure release or water inlet. If you find rust, there’s a good possibility the tank itself might be rusted. One way to see if this is the case is to drain water and look for any sign of rust after a few buckets. If you find rust, replace the tank. Get in touch with us for quotes on tankless water heater installation. When the time calls for a new tankless unit, you need professional installation. Dr. Pipe can help install a tankless water heater, provide regular maintenance, and help in whatever other way you need.

Strange sounds from the heater

Strange sounds are also a sign that something’s not right. Sediment buildup can create loud sounds and over time destroy your tank. While this damage can be halted in its tracks if caught sooner rather than later, you must replace a tank after the sediment has settled thoroughly. Such heaters consume much more electricity than would otherwise be the case, won’t heat water efficiently, and will eventually lead to extensive leaks. In such instances, tankless water heater repair services won’t be sufficient. You’ll need an electric tankless water heater or some other type.

The water doesn’t warm adequately

Insufficient heating is a problem that can rear its ugly head when you least expect it. It can happen due to a malfunctioning thermostat, a damaged heating element, or insufficient tank dimensions. Fixing or swapping out a thermostat or repairing a heating element is harder than you might think. But if the tank is undersized for your dwelling, a replacement is the only viable option. Dr. Pipe is one of the premier tankless heater installers in Ottawa.  

Leaks

Leaks typically reveal that the heater is at the end of its lifecycle and should be replaced.
