Let us help you maximize your hot water and minimize your energy costs.
When you think about your most important home comfort equipment, there’s a decent chance you will immediately think about your home’s furnace, boiler, air conditioning or heat pump. These are undoubtedly vital systems in your household, but there’s another piece of equipment that you could not live without.
We’re talking about your home’s water heater.
Without a dependable, efficient water heater, you couldn’t enjoy a soothing shower each morning or run a bath for your kids at night. Cleaning dishes and laundry would be all but impossible, and that doesn’t even account for the other daily chores that require hot water. What’s more, the U.S. Department of Energy has found that the average home uses about one-fifth of its energy heating water.
As you can see, having the most efficient, highest-performance water heater is essential to keeping your quality of life high and your energy spending low. Mirabito is here to assist you in identifying and installing the ideal water heater for your home and family.
Is It Time for a Water Heater Replacement?
We advise our customers never to ignore the warning signs of a failing water heater, especially if it’s approaching 10 years of use. These warning signs include:
- Insufficient hot water to meet basic daily needs
- Rusty, brown water from your hot water taps
- Rumbling, popping or clanging noises from your water heater tank
- Pooling water around the tank
- Visible rust or corrosion on the unit
- Increased, unexplained energy use
Have you noticed any of these issues? Please reach out to us right away so we can inspect your equipment. If your unit is nearing the end of its lifespan, we want to secure and install your replacement equipment before the current water heater fails, leaving you without hot water (and potentially some water damage in your home).
What Are Your New Water Heater Options?
The good news, if you need a new water heater, is that there are some fantastic options available to you that can boost your hot water production while saving you money on energy use.
Some of the most popular water heater types include the following:
- Traditional Storage Tank Water Heaters. These are the products you likely imagine when you think of a water heater. They are tall, cylindrical units powered by oil, gas or electricity. Traditional water heaters maintain a tank of hot water that they distribute when you need it. They tend to be more affordable at installation, but they aren’t as energy-efficient as other options.
- Tankless Water Heaters. Powered by propane, natural gas or electricity, these compact units only heat water when a fixture or appliance needs it. This super-efficient process can lower your hot water-related energy spending by up to 34%! Tankless systems also have a longer service life than traditional units.
- Indirect-Fired Water Heaters. These are great, high-efficiency options for homes that heat with oil. Indirect-fired units use heat generated from a boiler to warm up your water. When you combine an indirect-fired water heater with a high-efficiency boiler, you can enjoy some of the lowest-cost hot water possible!
