Electric Water Heaters
Choosing the right hot water heater for your home is an important decision. It will be used for years to provide a reliable source of hot water for showers, washing clothes, washing dishes and much more. However, you must take a number of things into consideration including the cost of operation, the capacity needed for your family and how long the water heater will last.
That’s why Wickstrom Plumbing, Heating & Cooling trains all of its Boise area water heater technicians to provide expert advice about all systems currently available on the market. If you need a new electric water heater for your home, we not only have the best products available, we can help you choose one that will provide what your family needs for years to come.
Electric Water Heater Options
A quick trip to the home improvement store reveals dozens of seemingly affordable electric water heaters, so why do you need professional help in choosing and installing the device? For starters, it’s important that your hot water heater be properly sized for your home. A hot water heater that is too small to meet your home’s hot water needs will not only cause daily frustration; it will operate less efficiently and probably wear out much faster.
On the flip side, if you buy a water heater that is too big for your home, you risk paying too much money for hot water each month. Keeping a large tank of water hot for hours at a time when it won’t be used is a waste of electricity that translates into unnecessarily high monthly energy bills.
Our technicians have worked with electric hot water heaters for years and can help you determine your peak hot water needs. If every one of your bathrooms was in use at the same time, how much hot water would be necessary? We determine this measurement and ensure the device you select will be able to meet those demands without requiring that you constantly keep an oversized tank full of hot water.
Electric Water Heater Installation
Not only does the efficiency of the device matter; so too does the energy consumption. It’s recommended that you look for the Energy Star logo on any hot water heaters you consider. With your budget in mind, we can help you determine the most energy efficient and cost effective solution for your home. Additionally, the higher quality water heaters being produced today can last for much longer than the older models you are used to, so even if your current system hasn’t completely broken down, you may save money in the long run by upgrading early.
Electric Water Heater Maintenance & Repair
For water heaters to last, regular maintenance is highly recommended. Hot water heater maintenance generally includes flushing the device, removing any excess sediment and checking the heating elements.
