Water Heaters


Water heating is typically one of the third largest energy expense in your home. And heating your water typically accounts for about 14% of your utility bill. That’s why it’s important that your water heater runs efficiently and that you have the right water heater to fit your home and family’s lifestyle. This wise step saves you money and energy both.

Our technicians are knowledgeable in all types of water heaters and are experts in their repair and replacement.

Basically, there are two types of water heaters - gas and electric - with dozens of different models and sizes. Gas and electric water storage tank heaters operate in similar ways and range in size from 20 to 80 gallons. An electric water heater can be used most anywhere, whereas a gas water heater is typically installed in a home that already uses gas (though our piping professionals can run new gas lines and vents for you if you prefer a gas appliance).


 
 
Repair
Is your water not hot enough or do you run out of hot water too quickly? Is the hot water discolored? The tub fills with rusty water when you use hot water. Call a qualified technician from Mr. Drain for a free inspection of your hot water system. We’ll examine your current water heater and offer options and recommendations for fixing the problem. If needed we will flush your water heater gas or electric.

Installation
Need a new water heater? An improperly installed water heater can lead to less than adequate hot water, water leaks, and property damage. It is our quality that we have the availability of same day installation and have certified installation professionals waiting to ensure the installation of your water heater meets all local plumbing codes and stringent manufacturer guidelines.

Bracing for Earthquake Safety
A 50-gallon water heater holds about 400 pounds of water. In an earthquake, it’s quite possible for an unbraced water heater to fall over, with the potential of serious injury and property damage. Additionally, if a gas-type water heater falls over it could very easily damage the gas connection and create a dangerous gas leak.

State and local building codes require all water heaters to be properly braced. Check your existing water heater. If you’re in an older home, it may not be braced. If your current water heater is not properly secured, call us toll free today and we’ll have your water heater safely and securely braced in no time right by the city and state codes.

 
 
Tank and Tank less water heaters
 
 
Are people telling you all water heaters are the same? That is simply not true. There are many different models with many different features. For example the old style open combustion models are no longer available. The Flameguard sealed combustion units have been legislated to the market for safety purposes and they make your choices even more varied than in the past.

The intent of this website is to help you make an informed decision about the new water heater you need. Mr. Drain provides honest answers to your questions. Our recommendations come from many years of experience in the area. We are familiar with the local conditions and the products that handle those conditions in a satisfactory manner. We will endeavor to provide as much information as we possibly can.

Although the selling price of a water heater makes some people gasp, when you stop and think about it, you'll see that you do get your money's worth from the purchase. If you take the cost and average it out over a typical 10 to 15 year period, you will find it is very reasonable. After all, this appliance works every day of the year to provide instant hot water at the turn of a tap.

Think about it, you cannot buy any other appliance for your home that comes complete with a five to twelve year replacement warranty for the cost of a new water heater.

Mr. Drain supplies and installs residential and commercial water heaters from all the major manufacturers. Some are more suitable than others due to homeowners and building owners circumstances. Water treatment equipment is only one of many factors which play an important role in the decision between different models. Manufacturers offer various warranties and warranty periods. Some options can be very important to some owners and not others. We will take the time to fit the product to your specific needs and wants.

Call us toll free to exchange some information and you will find you can have a water heater installed that will do what you require at a reasonable and affordable price. Mr. Drain guarantees it, and our guarantee is second to none.

There are two kinds of water heaters: the standard tank heater that is present in most homes, and the tankless water heater. Both types are available in gas or electric power varieties. Below is a brief description of the pros and cons related to each type.

Tank hot water heaters
All of the tanks we install are energy efficient, quick recovery water heaters, although gas heaters are faster recovery than electric.

Advantages:
 
 
  • A tank full of preheated water that can still be used if the power goes out
  • Will feed multiple fixtures at the same time
  • Gas tank heaters will continue to produce hot water during a power outage
 
 
Disadvantages
 
 
  • Will eventually run out of hot water if used for an extended period of time
  • Must run every few hours to maintain the temperature in the tank
 
  Tankless Water Heaters
Both gas and electric tankless water heaters are energy efficient. Electric heaters require more amperage than most houses supply and they will only run one fixture at a time. Gas tankless heaters will supply two fixtures at a time, but they usually require a larger gas line, new venting and a modified electrical outlet when converting from a tank type heater.

Advantages
 
 
  • Only use power to heat water when there is flow
  • Provide continuous hot water for as long as needed
 
  Disadvantages
 
 
  • About three times the price of standard tank type heaters
  • Produce a finite volume of hot water per minute
  • Supply a limited number of fixtures
