Understanding the Different Types of Water Heaters

Choosing the right water heater for your home can significantly impact your energy efficiency and comfort. At Albright's Mechanical Services, we believe in empowering our customers with knowledge. Here’s a brief overview of the various types of water heaters available:

  • Tank Water Heaters: These are the most common type, storing a large volume of hot water for immediate use. Ideal for households with high hot water demand.
  • Tankless Water Heaters: Also known as on-demand water heaters, they heat water directly without the use of a storage tank. This option is perfect for those looking to save space and energy.
  • Heat Pump Water Heaters: These utilize electricity to move heat from one place to another instead of generating heat directly. They can be a highly efficient option for moderate climates.
  • Solar Water Heaters: Harnessing the power of the sun, these systems can significantly reduce energy costs, especially in sunny regions.

Each type has its own advantages and considerations. Our experienced team at Albright's can help you evaluate your needs and recommend the best solution tailored to your household. Don’t hesitate to ask about the latest energy-efficient models that can save you money in the long run!

Why Don’t I Have Hot Water? 

It's a very common problem: one day you turn on the shower and the water never gets hot, or you'll only get a few minutes of warm water before it goes cold. The only thing more frustrating than running out of hot water is not knowing what's causing the problem or how to fix it. That's where Albright's can help. Our experienced plumbers can troubleshoot the issue for you and determine whether your lack of hot water is due to a repairable problem or a need for water heater replacement.

Here are some potential reasons why you don't have hot water:

  • Tripped breaker. If the power supply to your electric water heater has been cut, it won't be able to heat any water. Check your circuit breaker and flip it back on if needed. Note that if the breaker still trips multiple times after resetting it, you have an electrical issue and you should call an electrician as soon as possible to check it out.
  • Pilot light is out. If you have a gas water heater, there is a pilot light that must stay lit at all times. If the pilot light goes out, there is no fuel source and no way for water to be heated. If you feel comfortable, check your owner's manual and relight the pilot light. If it still keeps going out, or if you do not feel comfortable relighting it, just give us a call!
  • Faulty heating element. If you have an electric water heater, the reason you don't have hot water may be that your water heater's heating element is faulty. You may be able to have this part replaced, but if your water heater is already nearing the end of its service life, you may wish to replace your water heater.
  • Too much simultaneous hot water demand. Tank water heaters heat a finite amount of water. Once all of the hot water in the tank has been used up, it will take time for it to refill and reheat, and you'll be stuck with cold water in the meantime. If you're running the dishwasher and the laundry along with multiple showers in a short period of time, you're likely to run out of hot water. You may potentially need to upgrade to a larger capacity water heater or simply change your habits (e.g. shower in the morning and save laundry and dishes for later). 
  • Thermostat malfunction. If your water heater's thermostat has stopped working, you won't have any temperature control. If you've already adjusted the thermostat and that hasn't solved the problem, you may need to have it replaced.
  • Your water heater needs to be replaced. Water heaters don't last forever. If your water heater is more than 10 years old and is leaking or giving you recurring temperature control problems, you should consider purchasing a new one.
