Water Heaters
Did you know water heating contributes to nearly 20 percent of your home's total energy use? Taking good care of your water heater or upgrading to a more efficient model can make a big difference in your energy bills.
At Cardwell HVAC & Plumbing, we always try to recommend the best heating, cooling, and plumbing products and services for your Cherry Hill home. We believe saving money and staying comfortable should always go together, including keeping your water heater in top condition.
Shrink Water Heating Bills
Upgrading to a high-efficiency water heater offers the best way to save money without compromising comfort. A new water heater minimizes the risk of a costly repair — and the possibility of a leak.
Here are a few other money-saving tips to consider:
1. Lower Your Water Heater Temperature
Water heaters can have temperature settings as high as 140 degrees Fahrenheit, but keeping the water temperature around 120 degrees will help you cut costs while providing you with all the hot water you need.
2. Add a Water Heater Timer
Conventional water heaters keep running even when you're not using them, which makes it difficult to cut costs. A water heater timer is easy to install and allows you to control how long your water heater runs, such as during showers and when you're doing the dishes.
3. Insulate Your Pipes
If you have exposed pipes and you live in an older home, insulating them is essential for minimizing heat loss. Emergency water heater repair services may be necessary if adding insulation is ineffective.
4. Replace Your Water Heater
Water heaters become less effective with age, and replacing yours might be what you need to do. If you need to switch out your unit, call Cardwell HVAC & Plumbing for help with water heater replacement in New Jersey.
Choosing a Water Heater
It's essential to make sure the model and size of your water heater are right for your household because it can make a big difference in your comfort and savings. As experts in water treatment and plumbing, the team at Cardwell HVAC & Plumbing will work with you to ensure the system you select is right for your home.
Some of the most common residential water heaters you'll find include:
1. Conventional Storage Tank Water Heaters
Conventional water heaters are reliable, relatively inexpensive, and easy to install, making them the most popular models in New Jersey and beyond.
2. Tankless Water Heaters
A tankless water heater provides hot water on demand. Cold water passes through a series of heated coils when you turn on the tap, which enables the system to heat as much water as you need. While tankless systems typically involve a higher investment than conventional ones, they can help you lower your bills by only heating water when you need it.
3. Hybrid Water Heaters
Also known as heat pump water heaters, hybrid systems are energy-efficient options for homes in warmer regions — specifically areas where the temperature stays above 40 degrees Fahrenheit all year.
4. Condensing Water Heaters
A condensing water heater draws heat from your furnace or boiler, which can result in major savings if you live in a home powered by natural gas. It also captures additional heat from flue gases in your chimney, making it a highly efficient option.
5. Solar-Powered Water Heaters
While solar-powered water heaters are true energy savers for households in the southwest, their dependence on sunlight makes them a less advantageous choice for New Jersey's colder winters.
