Water Heater Repair & Replacement
New Braunfels, TX

Gas water heaters typically last up to 12 years, and electric heaters last up to 15 years. Additional factors such as hard water, high-volume usage, and infrequent maintenance can all make that lifespan shorter. But 1-800-Plumber +Air of New Braunfels can quickly remove and replace your water heater so you can come home to hot water with little interruption. If your heater malfunctions, your water heater plumber will:

• Assess the damage and determine if repairs are possible or if the heater needs to be replaced.
• Disconnect the unit and dispose of it offsite.
• Help you select the right water heater based on the anticipated usage, size of your home, and budget considerations.
• Fully install the new water heater and set it to optimal running conditions.

Switching to a new water heater offers several immediate benefits. Professional installation means you can have peace of mind without worrying about the electrical or gas connections. Modern tank and tankless heaters are also much more efficient than their predecessors, allowing you to enjoy hot water quickly and at a fraction of the heating cost.

Water Heaters in New Braunfels, TX

When it's time for a new water heater, our team can help you find the right one for your home. Consider factors such as power source, size, settings, smart controls, and energy efficiency. There are many different types to choose from:

Tanks

Conventional water heaters are cylindrical tanks that hold between 30 and 80 gallons of water and continuously heat it so the water is ready for use. These are a convenient and cost-effective option for most homes, and you can choose between different sizes. However, they take up a lot of space, and hard water can lead to rattling mineral deposits in your tank.

Tankless

Tankless water heaters quickly heat cold water through tubing inside a wall-mounted box. These units are much more energy efficient and only take up a little space in your home. However, high water demand can impact either the temperature or water flow.

Instead of switching to one tankless water heater, we often recommend installing point-of-use tankless heaters where you use hot water the most, such as laundry rooms and bathrooms. Point-of-use tankless heaters are convenient and small but add complexity.

Alternatives include solar-powered water tanks, boiler-water heater units that pair with radiant flooring systems, and condensing water heaters that efficiently use natural gas fumes. Talk to our team about selecting the right fit based on your power source, home size, and other preferences.
