Are you looking to install a tankless, storage, or solar water heater in your home? Are you looking at all of those name brands and feeling a bit confused? Is there a difference between Rheem and Bosch? They've both been around for decades and you know they produce quality water heaters. How do you choose between one and the other? For that matter, what about Westinghouse, General Electric, Kenmore, and those other companies that made water heaters for so many years? Are they still around?
These are just a few of the questions that go through a homeowner's mind when they're shopping for a new hot water heater. It's easy to get caught up in all of the brand names out there and try to make your decision based on what you've always known to be true in the past. Many of those brand names you remember have been absorbed by other companies so don't put too much faith in the whole “old reliable” philosophy. There's a company out there called Eemax which is only twenty years old and producing some of the best tankless technology on the market. One of our San Carlos water heater repair techs can help you make the right choice.
One of the primary concerns today when buying a hot water heater, in addition to the price of course, is the question of water and energy conservation. Tankless water heaters only heat water when it is coming through the spigot or faucet, saving a lot on power consumption. Solar water heaters don't store as much water as traditional tank water heaters, but they often utilize those tanks as back-up for days when temperatures dip below a certain level.
It's a confusing landscape filled with questions and you'll need someone with some knowledge of the subject to help you make your final choice.
