What's Included in This Service

You begin with an assessment of your current system's performance and your household's hot water usage. Technicians inspect the tank or tankless unit, checking for sediment buildup, failing heating elements, or worn dip tubes. In Wenatchee, high winter demand reveals weaknesses in undersized or aging systems, and proper sizing is critical for consistent output.

For installations, the crew ensures proper ventilation, secure gas connections, and electrical wiring that meets local codes. Every unit is tested under load to confirm it delivers hot water at the temperatures and flow rates you expect.

Tankless systems require precise calibration for water hardness and flow rates, while tank systems need proper insulation and placement to maximize efficiency. Whether you're upgrading for better performance or replacing a failed unit, the installation process includes disposal of the old system and a walkthrough of new unit operation.

Details That Matter Most

Choosing between tank and tankless, understanding maintenance needs, and knowing when to repair versus replace are common questions. Here's what you should know.

How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement?
If your unit is over 10 years old, shows rust, or requires frequent repairs, replacement is often more cost-effective. Technicians assess efficiency, inspect for leaks, and recommend the best option based on condition and performance.
What's the difference between tank and tankless water heaters?
Tank systems store hot water for immediate use, while tankless units heat water on demand. Tankless models save space and energy but require higher upfront costs. Sizing depends on household demand and local water conditions.
How often should I flush my water heater?
Annual flushing removes sediment that reduces heating efficiency and shortens tank life. In areas with hard water, more frequent flushing may be needed to prevent buildup and maintain performance.
Can you install water heaters in older homes?
Yes, installations in older homes often include upgrading venting, gas lines, or electrical panels to meet current codes. Technicians adapt the installation to fit your home's layout and infrastructure safely.
What happens during a water heater inspection?
Inspections include checking the dip tube, testing the pressure relief valve, inspecting for corrosion, and measuring temperature output. You'll receive a report on the unit's condition and any recommended repairs or upgrades.
