Types of Water Heaters Available

If you're replacing your old heater, here are your options:

• Tankless water heaters are popular because they offer an endless supply of heated water. They're a great option for smaller homes as it's possible to mount them on a wall.
  
• Electric water heaters are still popular with some homeowners due to their compact size.  However, the cost to run and maintain them may be a drawback.
  
• Gas heaters are ideal for those who want a faster heating rate and large capacity, but they do use up a lot of water when in use.
  

Tips to Extend the Lifespan of Your Water Heater

The average water heater lasts about 10 years, but there are some ways that you can help to extend its lifespan.

• Call a plumber to clean and flush out your water heater to prevent buildup and ensure better performance.
  
• Have a pressure regulating valve installed to reduce system pressure in your heater.
  
• Use a water softener to extend the heater's life without spending a lot of money.
