Question: When does a water heater become a hot topic in your house?
Answer: The instant it doesn’t work.
Nothing shouts louder than a cold shower or a load of dirty dishes that has to wait. The techs at Mechanical Extremes are hot water heater experts and can replace your hot water heater. But that inconvenient moment may not occur if you get out in front of it. Routine service can make a difference. The Mechanical Extreme tech will drain and flush the unit, check the wiring and heating elements. Doing this once a year can extend its life.
Are you a good candidate for a tankless water heater? A standard vented gas heater is 67% efficient. Even when not at home, it will reheat the water 3 or 4 times a day, adding to your utility bill. A tankless unit only runs when hot water is needed, and provides unlimited hot water on demand. No one takes a cold shower because someone else used up the hot water or the dishwasher is running. Efficiency? It skyrockets to 97%. Other tankless advantages include a 10-15 year warranty instead of six.
This video shows Mechanical Extremes installing a Navian tankless hot water heater. Space restraints in the crawl space meant the team had to reconfigure the layout. Not only did Mechanical Extremes solve the problem, but the customer now gets hot water more quickly.
Watch the video and Mechanical Extremes’ Harold Wilkes will explain how it happened.
