Water Heater Installation
At West Georgia Plumbing And Septic, We Treat Hot Water Like A Birthright. Our Water Heater Installation Services Are Quick, Reliable, And Done Right Every Time!
Hot Water on Tap, Just Like Mama Intended
Let’s talk about that big metal tank in your basement. You know, the one you completely forget exists until you step into the shower and are greeted by a polar bear’s icy kiss. Suddenly, that humble water heater is the most important appliance you own. But what if it’s been dropping hints that it’s ready to retire? Like, leaving rusty little notes in your water or making noises like a grumpy bear waking from hibernation.
If your water heater is over the hill—we’re talking 8-12 years old—or if you’re on a first-name basis with your repair technician, it might be time for a new one. Professional water heater installation isn’t just about getting the hot water back; it’s about upgrading your home’s comfort, efficiency, and maybe even saving a few bucks in the long run. Installing a water heater might not be Hollywood, but around here, it’s about as heroic as it gets. We’ll get you fixed up right, no fuss, no drama—just steady hot water and a little more peace of mind.
To Repair or Replace? That Is the Question.
Deciding whether to fix your current unit or install a new one can feel like a Shakespearean drama. Generally, if your water heater is still under 8 years old, and the repair cost is less than half the price of a new one, a fix might be the answer. You can even learn about our repair services to see what’s possible.
However, if you’re facing constant repairs, see any signs of rust on the tank, or your energy bills are mysteriously climbing, it’s probably time to say a graceful goodbye. A new water heater installation for your family isn’t just a replacement; it’s an investment in a better way of life.
Tank vs. Tankless: The Great Debate
Choosing a new water heater is like picking a new roommate. You have to decide who fits your lifestyle best. Let’s check out the pros and cons of Tank vs. Tankless Water Heaters.
Traditional Tank Heaters
These are the “Old Faithful” of hot water heaters. They keep a reservoir of hot water ready for you, like a loyal friend. They’re generally less expensive upfront but take up more space and can be less energy-efficient since they’re always working to keep that water toasty.
Tankless Water Heaters
These are the sleek, modern newcomers. They heat water on demand, meaning you get endless hot water and save energy. The downside? The initial cost for a tankless water heater installation is higher, and they can’t always handle, say, running the dishwasher and two showers at once in smaller models.
Gas or Electric? A Tale of Two Fuels
Once you’ve picked a side in the tank-vs-tankless battle, you have to choose your power source. If you’re unsure, our professionals can help you decide what’s best for your home.
Gas Water Heaters
These are the sprinters. They heat water faster and often have lower monthly operating costs. If you already have a gas line, this is usually a very efficient choice.
Electric Water Heaters
These are the marathon runners. They might be a bit slower to heat, but they are often safer (no combustion) and can be installed almost anywhere you live.
