Choosing the Right Water Heater

When your water heater is malfunctioning, you don’t have time to waste. At Nautilus Plumbing, we offer prompt water heater repairs and replacements so you can get your hot water back fast. Whether you need emergency repairs or a new water heater installation in Glendale, our team is ready to help.

When choosing a water heater, there are several things to consider:

• The size and type of water heater for your needs
• The energy efficiency of the unit 
• Your budget
• The water heater's installation requirements
• Whether the water heater or the service comes with a warranty

The size of the unit, which is determined by the capacity of the tank, is one of the most important considerations when choosing a water heater. A tank that is too small will not provide enough hot water, while a tank that is too large will waste energy. We can help you choose the right size of a water heater for your home.

When shopping for a new water heater, you will also need to decide on a tankless or traditional water heater. Tankless water heaters are more energy efficient and provide a virtually endless supply of hot water, but they are more expensive to buy and install. We can help you compare the costs and benefits to make an informed decision. Our team will guide you through the installation process, ensuring everything is aligned with your home’s specific needs and local regulations.

Signs That Your Water Heater Is Failing

Water heaters don’t last forever, so it is important to know when your water heater needs to be replaced. Recognizing the signs of a failing water heater can help you avoid issues like water damage, lack of hot water, and more. 

Signs of a failing water heater include:

• Hot water runs out quickly
• Discolored water
• Water has a foul odor
• Strange noises
• Leaks
• No hot water
• Poor water pressure 

Leaks are the most obvious sign that your water heater is failing. Water heaters can develop leaks in the tank or the connections. If you notice a puddle of water around the base of your water heater, it is time to call a plumber.

Discolored water or water with a foul odor can also indicate a deteriorating water heater tank. A water heater that is making strange noises may have a build-up of sediment inside the tank. A professional cleaning can resolve the problem, in some cases. Regular inspections can preemptively catch these issues before they escalate into bigger problems, saving you time and money.

Common Water Heater Issues & Solutions

Understanding common water heater problems can help you identify when you need professional assistance. Here are some typical issues and potential solutions:

• No Hot Water: If your water heater isn't producing hot water, check the thermostat settings. If they're correct, you may have a faulty heating element that requires professional evaluation.
• Insufficient Hot Water: This can result from a unit that is too small for your household's needs or sediment build-up in the tank, which may need flushing.
• Water Discoloration: Rusty or discolored water usually indicates corrosion inside the tank. This often signals it's time for a replacement.
• Unusual Noises: Popping or rumbling noises often indicate sediment build-up at the bottom of the tank, requiring a flush.
• Leaks: If you notice water pooling around your heater, call a professional immediately. This could indicate a serious issue that needs prompt attention.

Being proactive about these issues can save you time, money, and hassle in the long run. At Nautilus Plumbing, our team offers thorough diagnostics and effective solutions to ensure your water heater operates optimally and safely.

Understanding Tankless Water Heaters in Glendale

Tankless water heaters are increasingly popular among Glendale residents due to their energy efficiency and space-saving design. Unlike traditional models, tankless units heat water on demand, which means you won't be wasting energy heating water that’s not in use. This energy-efficient approach can lead to significant savings on utility bills over time. However, these units typically require higher upfront costs. At Nautilus Plumbing, we provide detailed consultations to help clients weigh the benefits and determine if a tankless system suits their household needs.

In Glendale's milder climate, tankless water heaters also facilitate consistent performance year-round. Thanks to our extensive experience in the local area, we are equipped to manage specific installation challenges, such as ensuring proper venting in older homes. Our commitment to customer satisfaction includes adjusting installations to comply with any local zoning restrictions, ensuring a smooth and efficient setup process from start to finish.

Investing in an energy-efficient water heater can lead to substantial savings on your monthly energy bills.
