Tanked water heaters are the most common type in American homes. Marr's Heating and Air Conditioning is proud to offer water heater service in Bellingham, WA, for all makes and models. Tanked water heaters require professional installation, maintenance, and repairs to keep them working safely and efficiently. These units have a hot water tank that fills with water. Heating elements heat the water and keep it warm until you turn on the faucet. As you use the heated water from the tank, it refills in a filling and heating cycle.
There are two main types of tank water heaters: gas and electric. Gas-powered water heaters use natural gas or propane to heat the water. They heat faster than electric models, but because of the gas components, they require a more advanced installation since they use gas lines. It is essential to select an energy-efficient model with a higher SEER rating, which will save you money and be more eco-friendly. You also should schedule yearly maintenance to maintain its warranty protection and seek prompt repairs when problems arise since ignoring them can result in much worse issues.
