This Could Be the Right Summer to Have Your Water Heater Tested.

To say that your water heater is an important appliance would be the understatement of the century. It is important to schedule regular maintenance for your water heater. Brent at Staats Plumbing in Columbus Ohio is just the man to give your home or office water heater a “clean bill of health.”

One key factor is the location of the water heater. It should be installed in the proper place and set at the right temperature. Check #1 should center around observing the plumbing joints for excessive or unusual corrosion. All the gas supply parts should be checked for any flammable material surrounding these areas. The water supply should also be checked by turning on a nearby hot water tap and listening for any unusual sounds.

Staats Plumbing has served the Columbus area throughout this century. They not only install, maintain, and repair water heaters, but so much more. For that story, please visit staatsplumbing.com. Call for plumbing services as well as backflow testing at (740) 625-5284.

So, You Bought a Home. How Old is the Water Heater?

It’s a question that any new homeowner should ask before signing the papers.  The water heater might be one of the first appliances that need to be replaced.  When you were looking at the house, you were cognizant of certain things such as the foundation, the roof, the yard, kitchen appliances, etc., but what about the water heater?

The short answer here is subtract from 10 (maybe 12).  Whatever you discover about the age of the existing water heater, you SHOULD have that many years less than 10 of peak efficiency.  This does not, of course, include extraordinary wear and tear that have caused premature leaks, cracks, and noises from the existing unit.

When the time comes (and it definitely will) that you need your Columbus Ohio area home’s water heater maintained or replace count on the expertise of Staats Plumbing serving Columbus and the surrounding areas.  The correct phone number to call for most any plumbing need you may have in your “new castle” is (740) 625-5284.  

Tank or Tankless…That is the Question.

How old do you think the tankless water heater is?  Well, it was introduced 90 years ago!  That is hard to believe isn’t it?  Over the years, tankless water heaters have become know as “on demand” units.  They heat the water ONLY when you turn it on.  That eliminates the extra cost of constantly heating 40-50 gallons of water in a storage tank.

So, what are the disadvantages of tankless?  The primary disadvantage of on demand or instant hot water heaters is the upfront cost. The smaller units that you often see won’t produce enough hot water to serve most households.  Remember that those units only serve one faucet at a time so, no showers while you are doing the dishes!

You know what?  At Staats Plumbing we don’t care which you choose.  We will install your next traditional or tankless water heater in the Columbus Ohio area.  When it comes to plumbing emergencies or routine maintenance, we are here for you in 2019.  We are Staats plumbing serving all of the Columbus area at (740) 625-5284. 

Is a Tankless Water Heater Right for You?

People often ask me about tankless water heaters.  The belief is that they are more energy-efficient than traditional tank-type heaters.  They think that it has to be better that they heat only the water that is needed so there is no energy loss while they stand by.  Throughout the world, tankless water heaters have been the choice for years.

Here are some factors to consider-

1.  Make sure that your tankless manufacturer is reliable.

2.  Don’t follow the hype…do your own vetting.

3.  Standards comparing tankless to tank are fuzzy.

4.  Cost.  Tankless water heaters are usually much more expensive.

None of these factors mean you should choose a tank heater over a tankless water heater.  Please call me and we will review your specific needs for your home or office.  I am Brent Staats owner of Staats Plumbing.  We are a leading provider of all types of commercial and residential water heaters in the Columbus area.  Give me a call at (740) 625-5284.

Tanks…but No Tanks.

It sounds like bad grammar, doesn’t it?  When that inevitable day comes and you are face to face with a leaky water heater you have a choice.  Do you go with a tank or a tankless unit?  No question about it, tankless water heaters will probably last longer, but the initial cost can be a great deal higher.

Endless hot water, additional storage space and lower energy bills are just a few reasons homeowners are switching to tankless water heaters.  Those perks, however, may just not be enough for some people to offset the extra purchase cost and installation expense.  Oh my…the yin and the yang of it all!

One thing is certain…when that time comes in your Columbus area home you know where to turn.  Call Brent Staats at Staats Plumbing.  You see, you cannot do any better than Columbus Ohio’s water heater repair and installation professionals.  Invite one of the Staats team to come out for an estimate by calling (740) 625-5284.
