Hot Water and Cold Cash
Your aging water heater may be throwing money down the drain. Upgrading to a new, energy-efficient model from Service Minds Benjamin Franklin Plumbing can save you money every month on your utility bills.
Here’s how to know if it’s time to say goodbye to your old water heater:
- Terrible Teens: Most traditional water heaters are built to last 10 to 15 years. If yours has entered its tween years, consider an upgrade before it springs a leak or fails completely.
- Inefficiency: Quickly depleted hot supplies and the constant need to turn the hot tap to full blast to heat water just enough to wash the dishes are signs of water heater inefficiency that wastes energy and money.
- Going Bump in the Night: Rumbling or knocking in your water heater are the signs of sediment buildup that steals efficiency and damages the tank.
- Red Tide: Rusty water signals internal corrosion. It’s only a matter of time until your water heater springs a major leak risk.
- Water, Water Everywhere: Even minor leaks can penetrate floors, framing, furniture, and drywall, causing considerable damage. If you see water pooling around the base of your water heater call Service Minds Benjamin Franklin Plumbing promptly.
Full Service and Total Expertise
Replacing your water heater with Service Minds Benjamin Franklin Plumbing guarantees that comfort, contentment, and cost savings are on the way. Our expert plumbers will guide you through selecting the best brands, models, and features tailored to your budget, home size, and family lifestyle.
Here’s what you need to consider when thinking about a water heater replacement:
- Fuel: Gas heats water faster and offers better energy efficiency while electric heaters boast lower upfront costs but higher utility bills than gas.
- Capacity: Matching your water heater’s maximum output to the number of occupants and bathrooms in your home will ensure sufficient hot water supply without unneeded expense.
- Energy Factor: Water heaters with high Energy Factor (EF) ratings convert fuel into hot water more efficiently. They may cost more, but they reduce energy bills every month.
Service Minds Benjamin Franklin will help you weigh these factors to find the best water heater type for your circumstances.
We install them all:
- Conventional Tank Water Heaters that use electricity or gas to heat 20 to 100 gallons of water at once. They are known for their reliability.
- Tankless Water Heaters that use super-hot coils to rapidly heat water on demand using natural gas or electricity. They offer an endless supply of hot water and great efficiency.
- Hybrid and Heat Pump Water Heaters that employ electric air-source heat pumps inside the tank to keep energy consumption remarkably low.
- Solar Water Heaters that lower your home’s carbon footprint by using the sun’s energy to heat water, cutting energy bills by 15 percent or more.
- Combination Boiler Water Heaters that perform double by heating your home through radiant systems and your hot water for plumbing fixtures.
- Point-of-Use Water Heaters that heat water for specific taps – a single shower, the dishwasher, or the kitchen sink, for instance. They have smaller capacities and are usually less efficient than whole-home systems.
- Condensing Water Heaters that feature second heat exchangers that capture and reuse exhaust gases to preheat incoming water, giving the main unit a head start.
Once you’ve chosen your new water heater, our team will install it safely and in compliance with Fort Myers and Lee County building codes. Trust Service Minds Benjamin Franklin to provide expert advice and professional installation, ensuring your investment pays off in enhanced comfort and reduced utility costs.
