Do You Need a Repair or a Replacement?

Repairs can be made to parts and pieces when electrical problems occur, when pipes burst, or when there are issues with the thermostat or initial installation. However, in some cases, a simple repair may not be the right choice and a full replacement and installation may be required.

At the first sign of an issue with your water heater, you should call our technicians and discuss the options that may be available to you. Our plumbing team can help determine if a simple repair can get your hot water working again, or if a new water heater may be the best option.

When Should You Install a New Water Heater?

  • When your existing unit is over 15 years old
  • When there has been significant leaking or flooding from the tank
  • When there has been a large increase in your energy bill
  • When there has been a constant need for repairs
  • When there has been significant damage to the tank or operational system
  • When your water heater refuses to start
  • When the cost of repairs is higher than the price of a new unit
  • When your water is discolored indicating erosion and rusting in the tank

Benefits of Upgrading to a Tankless Water Heater

If you're considering replacing your current water heater, you may want to explore the option of upgrading to a tankless water heater. Tankless water heaters offer several advantages over traditional tank-style heaters, including:

  • Endless hot water on demand
  • Reduced energy consumption and lower utility bills
  • Longer lifespan and lower maintenance costs
  • Space-saving design
  • Environmentally friendly with reduced carbon footprint

Our experienced technicians at Wickstrom Service Co. can assess your home's hot water needs and recommend the best tankless water heater options for your specific requirements. Upgrade to a tankless water heater and enjoy the convenience and efficiency of on-demand hot water in your Boise home.

Understanding Your Water Heater Options

Choosing the right water heater for your home can be a daunting task, especially with the variety of options available today. At Wickstrom Plumbing Heating & Cooling, we believe in empowering our customers with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions. Whether you're considering a traditional tank heater or a modern tankless system, our team is here to guide you through the process.

Here are some key factors to consider when selecting a water heater:

  • Size and Capacity: Assess the hot water needs of your household to determine the appropriate size. A larger family may require a unit with higher capacity, while smaller households might benefit from compact models.
  • Energy Efficiency: Look for models with high Energy Factor (EF) ratings. Energy-efficient water heaters can significantly reduce your energy bills and are better for the environment.
  • Fuel Type: Consider whether you prefer electric, gas, or solar water heaters. Each type has its own advantages and can affect installation costs and energy consumption.
  • Installation Space: Ensure you have adequate space for the water heater you choose. Tankless models require less space and can be installed in various locations, while traditional tanks need designated areas.
  • Maintenance Requirements: Some systems require more upkeep than others. Understanding the maintenance needs of your chosen model can help you plan for long-term care.

Our experienced technicians at Wickstrom Plumbing Heating & Cooling are ready to help you navigate these options and find the perfect water heater for your home in Boise or Nampa. We're committed to providing personalized service and ensuring your complete satisfaction!
