#1 Best Heating and Air Conditioning Contractor →

The initial installation of your water heater is one of the most important factors in how well it will operate in the coming years. A perfectly installed water heater will provide for all of your hot water needs, and do so as efficiently and effectively as possible while mitigating breakdowns and common complications. That's why the experts at McAllister utilize top-class tools and industry-leading knowledge to ensure your installation is absolutely perfect!

If you have an aging or obsolete water heater, it may be time to consider installing a new high-tech model. Water heaters are available in different capacities, efficiencies and fuel options. The two basic configurations include:

• Conventional Water Heater: A conventional water heater has either gas burners or electric heating elements and a tank to hold the hot water. When the water temperature falls below the thermostat setting, the unit engages and the water is reheated through the heat exchanger. The total capacity output is defined by the unit's "first-hour rating," which is a formula based on the size of the tank relative to the total heating output in BTUs. Water heater efficiency is measured by the Energy Factor (EF) standard. A higher EF number identifies a more efficient unit.
• Tankless Water Heaters: Tankless water heaters are relatively new to the market and were developed to address efficiency concerns. Instead of continually reheating a large tank of unused water, tankless models provide hot water on demand. Since there is no associated storage tank, the space normally taken up by a standard water heater can be used for other purposes. The unit's gallons per minute rating is critical in selecting the proper size and capacity.

Water heaters can break down for a number of reasons, but the most common problems include cold water at the tap, scalding water or a leak in the storage tank. The source of the problem can be difficult to identify, so it is important to hire a professional contractor who has extensive experience in water heater repair and replacement.
