Gem heating & Air Conditioning is Boise’s leader for all water heater repair, maintenance and replacement needs. We install all makes and models of water heaters, so we aren’t tied to a single brand. There are many factors to consider when replacing a water heater. When it is time to replace your traditional water heater or tankless system, we will walk through the entire process with you.
Water heaters come in all different shapes, sizes and varieties. Often times, homeowners can get 10+ years out of their water heater with the proper maintenance.
Investing in a new water heater is a significant decision for any household or business. With a multitude of options available in the market, choosing the right one can be overwhelming for some. However, by considering several key factors, you can ensure that you make an informed decision that meets your needs and budget.
Conventional Storage Tank Water Heater: These are the most common type found in homes and commercial buildings, where water is heated and stored in an insulated tank until needed.
Tankless (On-Demand) Water Heater: These heaters heat water directly without the use of a storage tank, providing a continuous supply of hot water and potentially saving energy costs, even though they cost more initially.
Heat Pump Water Heater: This type uses electricity to move heat from one place to another instead of generating heat directly, making them more energy-efficient.
Solar Water Heater: These water heaters use solar panels to capture and convert sunlight into heat energy, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources.
Electric: Easy to install and widely available, electric water heaters are suitable for most households. However note, they will draw m ore electricity each month.
Natural Gas: Often preferred for its cost-effectiveness and faster heating capabilities, especially in areas with access to natural gas lines. Most homes in Idaho utilize these.
Propane: Suitable for areas without natural gas lines, propane water heaters offer similar benefits to natural gas but require a propane tank.
By carefully considering these factors, you can choose a water heater that not only meets your immediate hot water needs but also offers long-term energy savings and reliability. Prioritize your requirements and budget to make the most suitable decision for your home or business. Remember, investing in a quality water heater can enhance comfort and efficiency while reducing utility costs in the long run.
