A majority of homes in the US have a storage water heater, typically 40 or 50 gallons.  In the last several years, Federal mandates have driven a number of changes in design, resulting in improvements in energy efficiency.  In fact, if your water heater is more than 5 years old, it could be 5-10% less efficient than similar designs today!

The Water Heater Experts have access to all of the leading brands including GE, Whirlpool, Rheem, A.O. Smith, Kenmore and many others.  marathon water heaterThis includes gas, electric and propane storage water heaters with tanks sizes ranging from 2.5 gallons up to 100 gallons!  Tank and part warranties typically range from 6-12 years.

If you want a longer term solution, we also offer the Rheem Marathon, an electric water heater with a LIFETIME warranty that will never rust as it is constructed from high temperature plastic!

With increased interest in energy and water conservation, there are a number of innovative water heating solutions available today that can save you significantly on your utility bill!  In fact, there is a $1500 (up to 30% of the total installed cost) Federal tax credit for qualifying tankless, heat pump and solar water heaters.

TANKLESS WATER HEATERS

The Water Heater Experts offer a complete line of tankless water heaters in both gas and electric models.  In fact, we are proud to be an Authorized Service Provider for both Rinnai and GE tankless water heaters.  Typically, we recommend gas tankless water heaters for "whole-home" applications while electric tankless are perfect for single fixtures or lower hot water demand.

From a comparison standpoint, a gas tankless water will save nearly $250-$300 in annual energy costs over a standard electric storage water heater and approximately $75-$100 over a standard gas storage water heater (depending on your local Utility rates and specific water heater model).  This can add up to thousands of dollars over the life of the tankless water heater!
