Benefits of Electric Water Heaters
When choosing a water heater for your Lancaster home, there are many benefits to an electric system. In comparison to gas water heaters, electric water heaters are:
- Least expensive: Electric water heaters have lower upfront installation costs because they do not require gas lines, venting, or combustion systems.
- Easier and safer to install: Installation of electric systems is fairly simple, as there are no gas connections, flue pipes, or exhausts. Plus, there is no risk of gas leak or carbon monoxide exposure.
- More efficient: Since electric water heaters convert nearly all the energy they use into hot water, they have higher efficiency ratings than gas systems that lose energy through venting.
- Flexible for placement: Electric systems can be installed in tight spaces or in interior areas such as closets, utility rooms, basements, and more.
- Quieter: With no combustion or ventilation noise, electric water heaters operate almost silently for homeowners.
- Simpler to maintain: Homeowners don’t need to worry about maintaining burners, pilot lights, or gas lines with these simpler electrical systems.
When to Replace Your Water Heater
An electric water heater typically lasts 10 to 15 years. However, age isn’t the only reason to replace your system. We recommend upgrading if you’re experiencing the following:
- Insufficient hot water: If you run out of hot water quickly, it could be due to a failing heating element or a tank issue. Both of these are best solved with replacement.
- Rising energy bills: If your electric bills keep rising, it could be due to your water heater’s declining efficiency. Replacing it with a new, more efficient system can actually reduce energy bills, offsetting the cost of replacement.
- Rusty or discolored water: Discolored Hot water may indicate a corroded tank. This is often the last stage before the tank leaks, making replacement the best option.
- Leaks: Structural failure of your water heater can lead to leaks and water pooling at the base, which cannot be repaired.
- Frequent repairs: If you find yourself calling for water heater repairs often, it may be more practical to upgrade to a reliable system.
Our Professional Installation Process
The team at Neffsville Plumbing is proud to offer hassle-free electric water heater installation through our thorough process. Our streamlined replacement services start with the removal of your old unit and any electrical preparation, such as installing a dedicated 240-volt line. We’ll then position and secure the new heater, ensuring the tank is leveled and strapped, and prepare for plumbing connections. Once we connect the water lines and fill the tank, we complete the electrical hookup and test the system for compliance, safety, and performance.
Choosing the Right Electric Water Heater
Selecting an electrical water heater for your specific needs can be challenging. Luckily, our experienced plumbers are here with honest advice. We recommend homeowners consider the following:
- Unit size: In general, small homes for one to two people only need a 40-gallon tank, while larger homes with more than five people may need an 80-gallon tank. If you’re opting for an electric tankless water heater, a home with one to two people typically needs four to six gallons per minute, while a home with more than five people needs nine to 11 GPM.
- Efficiency ratings: The higher your new water heater’s efficiency rating, the lower your electrical bills will be. However, this also requires a higher upfront investment. Consider your budget to balance the installation costs vs. operating costs.
