The Benefits of Installing an Electric Water Heater

Homeowners who choose electric water heaters appreciate their many benefits. By switching to an electric water heater, you’ll enjoy:

• Greater energy efficiency: Save on heating costs year-round.
• Lower installation costs: Electric water heaters don’t require a gas line or ductwork, making initial installation simpler.
• Added safety: Electric water heaters are generally safer than gas models, eliminating risks like gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Reduced environmental impact: Since they’re powered by renewable energy, electric water heaters help shrink your carbon footprint.
• Consistent performance in cold weather: Long Island homeowners can rely on electric water heaters for consistent hot water, even during snowstorms.
• Space-saving features: Tankless water heaters are compact and can be wall-mounted in crawl spaces or basements.

Electric water heaters come in tank and tankless models. Tank water heaters store and continuously heat a large water supply, while tankless (also called “on-demand”) heaters heat water only when an appliance is in use. When choosing between the two, it’s important to weigh factors like house size and daily hot water use. We can help you make the right choice for your needs.

Signs Your Electric Water Heater Needs to be Repaired or Replaced

With routine maintenance, an electric water heater can last 10 to 15 years. However, as the unit ages, it may be prone to power shortages, since interior heating elements can become worn at their circuits. A repair can often fix an electric water heater, especially minor concerns like water pressure or quality issues.

Look out for these signs that your electric water heater may need to be repaired or replaced:

• You hear popping, banging, or rumbling sounds while it’s operating.
• The unit is leaking.
• Your showers and taps have low or no water pressure.
• Hot water is inconsistent or takes much longer to heat.
• Your appliances produce discolored or rusty water.
• Recent energy bills are higher than expected.

Benefits of Electric Water Heater Maintenance

Nothing is more frustrating than showering without hot water — that’s why preventative maintenance is essential. While often overlooked, regular water heater maintenance can prevent costly breakdowns and plumbing emergencies. It will also ensure that your electric water heater operates at peak efficiency year-round.

During maintenance, we can flush a tank if your system requires it, test drain valves, or tighten any loose electrical connections. Trust Universe Home Services to keep your electric water heater running at its best.
