How often should I have my heat pump serviced?

You should have your heat pump serviced at least once a year. If you use your heat pump for heating and cooling, you should service it twice annually, in the fall and the spring.

What is the life span of a heat pump?

The average life span of a heat pump is 10-15 years. Because heat pumps run year-round to heat and cool your home, they don’t always last as long as a typical heating or cooling system. However, you can extend the life span by ensuring that your unit is routinely maintained by an HVAC professional.

5 Questions to Ask Before Water Heater Installation

When it comes to water heater installation, being an informed consumer is important in today’s society. You would never buy a home or a car without first doing a little research and asking some questions. The same logic applies to have plumbing work done in your home. If you’re considering a Water Heater Installation, there are a couple of questions you should keep in mind before proceeding with the installation.

Do I Need a New Water Heater?

It may seem obvious, but always make sure you actually need a new water heater. Replacing a water heater that can still be repaired can be costly and unnecessary, especially if the water heater is relatively new. Keep in mind that water heaters do expire after 8-10 years so if it’s old, or you don’t know how old it is, chances are it does need to be replaced. As always, ensure you’re working with a quality plumber to avoid getting scammed.

Should I Go Tankless or Stay Conventional?

When you’re deciding which water heater is right for you, keep the two major classifications of the water heater in mind. Do you want a tankless water heater or a more conventional one? Tankless water heaters are more expensive initially but can pay for themselves over time in energy and water savings. They also make hot water on demand, so you never have to take a cold shower again.

How Energy Efficient is This Water Heater?

Make sure to consider the different energy-saving options when you’re picking out your new water heater. A lot of newer models are built with energy-saving options, especially the tankless water heaters, and there are even rebates in some states for choosing the energy-efficient option.

What Size Water Heater Do I Need?

Water heaters are not one size fits all. Keep in mind the size of your home and basement, and the number of people using the water at one time. If you live alone or with a roommate, you can probably get away with having a smaller heater. If you have a family of 5 you’ll want a heater with a bigger tank so that everyone can successfully take hot showers, while doing the dishes and laundry.

What is the Warranty on this Water Heater Installation?

Make sure to ask about warranty information for the heater. Does the water heater itself have a warranty? How long is it and what does it cover? When you call your local plumberologist, you’ll get a lifetime warranty on all workmanship! These warranties can save you money and headaches in the future, especially if you know exactly what they entail.
