Water Heaters in Spokane, WA
No one likes cold showers! That’s why water heaters are one of the most essential appliances in every home. Do you know how old your water heater is? Standard tanked water heaters last an average of 10-12 years. Waiting to replace an aging water heater increases the risk of expensive water damage. If your water heater is over 8 years old and you are experiencing one of the issues listed, it’s usually more cost effective to replace your water heater rather than repair it.
Signs of an Aging Water Heater:
- Rust
- Strange noises
- Failure to heat water adequately
- Leaking
- Water suddenly too hot or too cold
Choosing the Right Water Heater
When choosing your next water heater, it’s important to consider the size of your household, your household’s water usage, and your budget. There are several options for replacement water heaters including:
- Tanked electric
- Tanked gas
- Tankless
Tanked Water Heaters
Tanked water heaters have a shorter lifespan, but they also have a lower upfront cost. These traditional water heaters heat the water and then store it, so depending on the size of your tank you may run out of hot water fairly quickly. Once the hot water is gone, you must wait for the water to heat again.
Need A Smaller Alternative?
Tankless water heaters are also known as on demand water heaters. Instead of storing hot water, it heats water as it is delivered. This eliminates the need for a storage tank and the small size gives you more flexibility in its location. The lack of a tank also removes the risk of extensive water leaks and costly damages. These water heaters are more energy efficient since they do not need to continually heat and reheat water. They also last longer than a traditional water heater, with an average lifespan of about 20 years.
