Electric Water Heater Installation, Repair, and Replacement

Electric water heaters offer a fantastic combination of energy efficiency, safety, and simplicity.

Choosing and installing an electric water heater

We do more than just hook things up. At MNS Plumbing, we are happy to advise our clients on choosing the best electric water heater for their homes. Their comfort is our top concern; we’ll make honest recommendations based on their budget and preferences.

The key considerations for an electric water heater installation:

• Gallon capacity and first-hour rating (for a storage tank electric water heater)

• Gallons per minute (for an electric tankless water heater)

• Energy efficiency (measured in Energy Factor, higher is better)

• Insulation and standby heat loss

• Estimated annual operating costs

Electric water heater replacement

Generally, tank water heaters have a ten-year lifespan, while tankless systems last about 20 years. The actual years that a homeowner will get from a water heater will depend on the hardness of the water and other factors. If the electric water heater is approaching its expiration date, our team can provide a serious upgrade with a replacement.

Telltale signs that you need a new electric water heater include:

• Insufficient hot water

• Poor water quality (often rust-colored or with a rotten egg smell)

• Suspiciously increasing electric bills

Electric water heater replacement often comes close to paying for itself, especially if the homeowner is replacing an older model that doesn’t meet the current efficiency energy standards.

If there is no hot water, fluctuating temperatures, or other issues with an electric water heater, the MNS Plumbing team can inspect the heater and find the simplest solution possible. Sometimes it requires a simple flush to remove scale buildup, but other times we’ll need to replace a part.
