Residential Water Heaters

For Residential Hot Water Heating, a conventional water heater is usually the best choice for single-family homes and townhomes. We at Master Plumbing know the industry well and can help you make the best choice for your needs. We consider the size of the home and the needed BTUs, the types of water usage your family requires, and the local parts availability.

Water heaters no longer last 20 to 30 years like they used to. However, we know what it takes to get the most out of your next choice. The most common scenario is you find your water heater leaking and call a professional for an urgent replacement. You probably haven’t spent time researching the residential hot water heating products or the current code requirements for your city and state. The leak probably came at an inconvenient time. At Master Plumbing, know that we have done all the research and know the best fit for you based on quality, available products.

Tankless Water Heaters

Everyone is talking about tankless. Generally, many manufacturers are entering this emerging market. An efficiency rate of up to 97% makes it a compelling choice when your old water heater dies. Tankless water heaters are compact and can fit in many tight spaces. Still, for a single-family home, they are often 2-3 times the cost to install over a conventional water heater. In addition, they require maintenance regularly. They are best in applications where multiple water heaters are needed and the unit count is significant. In condominium complexes, they are cost-saving, if maintained, and long-lasting. Master Plumbing has technicians qualified to install and maintain these complex, next-generation tankless water systems.

Radiant Heating

Radiant floor heating installations are gaining popularity for their heat efficiency and comfort. At Master Plumbing, we have installed, removed, and repaired all types of radiant heating. From a tiny bathroom (where warm feet in the middle of the night can make all the difference) to Eichler-style outdoor living homes. Additionally, from large office spaces of tens of thousands of square feet. The starting point for considering radiant heat installation will have to do with your current setup, your budget, and your square footage. Radiant heating’s operating cost is zone-specific, and the air is movement-free, reducing allergen factors. All good reasons to consider this choice for the spaces where people work and live.

TIPS OF THE TRADE

Ask the plumber who installs your water heater if they investigate and repair it in the evening, at night, on weekends, and holidays. If they don’t, find a plumber who does and stands by their work.
