water heaters

If you have ever gone to turn on the faucet in your Santa Cruz, CA, home for hot water but instead only felt cold water coming out, then you know how frustrating this situation can be.

A malfunctioning water heater not only deprives you of a nice, hot shower—it also prevents you from performing essential daily tasks like washing your dishes and clothes.

Even more, a faulty water heater can result in a rise in your utility costs. Nobody wants that! Heating water is already responsible for 20 percent of the average home’s energy expenses, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

At Redwood Pipe & Drain, our primary goal is to ensure the comfort and efficiency of your Santa Cruz, CA, home. We are your trusted source for water heater solutions.

Our skilled and trained plumbers can diagnose and resolve any issues to ensure you can always enjoy an optimal level of comfort at home.

Standard storage tank water heaters are just how they sound—they use a large tank to heat water using gas, electricity, or solar power until it's needed for use.

Some of the main benefits of tank water heaters include:

Tankless systems offer far more instant. Unlike storage tank water heaters that heat and store water in a tank, tankless systems do not rely on a tank at all. Instead, tankless water heaters heat water directly as it passes through a heat exchanger in the unit. When you turn your faucet on for hot water, you will instantly receive hot water. No more waiting or running the water until it feels warm enough!

Tankless water heaters offer many compelling advantages that make them a popular choice for many homes. Their energy-efficient operation is not only environmentally friendly but also results in significant cost savings for you over time. With a compact design that saves space, tankless water heaters are particularly suitable for homes with limited room.

Unlike traditional tank water heaters, tankless water heaters eliminate the need for any water storage. Tankless water heaters ensure you have access to hot water on demand, without wasting resources on constant heating. Plus, tankless systems can last for over 20 years with regular maintenance.

While tankless water heaters offer several benefits, they do come with a few drawbacks to consider, such as their inconsistency when you need hot water from multiple taps or appliances.

For example, households with high hot water demands and frequent use of multiple appliances that require hot water may strain the tankless water heater. The best way to get around this? Install a second tankless water heater designated for a different area of your home, such as your master bathroom or kitchen.

While the initial cost of tankless systems might be higher, they offer long-term savings through reduced energy expenses and an extended service life. Consider which is more important to you. Don’t forget a tankless water heater may face limitations during heavy and simultaneous use. Be prepared to add a second water heater if you use a lot of hot water.
