WATER heater replacement
IS IT TIME TO REPLACE YOUR WATER HEATER?
If your water heater is not working well, or has quit altogether, It may be the right time to replace your water heater. The experts at A&O Heating & Air Conditioning are here to help you consider your options and ensure that you get the right water heater system for your home or business.
There are several different types of water heaters available in Northern Colorado and the surrounding areas. From traditional tanked heaters to complex solar and hybrid water heaters, we service them all. However, to keep it short, we’ll only discuss the two most common types of water heaters: tankless and tanked. Let’s break them down:
Conventional (Tanked) Water Heaters
Conventional (tanked) water heaters are, by far, the most common type. They heat water using natural gas, propane, or electricity and then store that hot water in a tank for later use. Tanked water heaters come in a variety of makes, models, sizes, and efficiency ratings. They are a great fit in any home or business that uses more than 40 gallons of hot water daily.
Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters are the second most common type of water heaters in Denver. They, like their tanked counterparts, heat water using natural gas, propane, or electricity. However, unlike conventional water heaters, tankless heaters don’t store hot water in a tank for later use. Instead, they heat water on an instantaneous and on-demand basis. Unfortunately, due to their on-demand nature, we only recommend them in homes and businesses that either use fewer than 40 gallons of hot water daily or as a secondary heater for specific tasks (like instant hot water for tea and coffee).
