with hot water for about eight to 12 years. Some hot water heaters my simply die when they reach the end of their
useful life, or they may require costly repairs in order to keep them working as needed. Others may continue to
work and provide hot water to residents as needed, but they may give off signs that it is now time to replace the
hot water heater. If you are concerned about the function of your hot water heater, you can call us today for a
fast diagnosis.
Can It Be Repaired?
Some HDB owners want to upgrade to a new hot water heater in an effort to reduce water consumption and energy
consumption. The right hot water heater can indeed save you money on your utility and energy bill. However, other
HDB owners would prefer not to make the financial commitment of investing in a new hot water heater until it is
absolutely necessary. When you call us about your broken or poorly functioning hot water heater, we can inspect the
system. If the system can be repaired, we will provide you with an estimate for that service. You can compare this
estimate against the cost of a new system to determine if it is in your best interest to upgrade to a new system
today.
The Benefits of Upgrading
While it is understandable that you may not want to invest in a new hot water heater until absolutely necessary,
you may consider the benefits associated with upgrading your system. There have been numerous innovations in hot
water heaters in recent years. While some older models were designed with water and energy conservation in mind,
many were not. You may find that upgrading your hot water can help you to save money on your monthly water and
utility bills. In addition, tankless hot water heaters can provide you with the ability to enjoy water from the tap
and in the shower more quickly. Within seconds of demanding hot water, you can enjoy hot water streaming out as
desired. There will be no need to warm the water up first. This saves energy and water, and it also saves you time
and provides for a more comfortable experience. Need to find out more? Just speak to one of our HDB plumber.
Choosing the Right Hot Water Heater
If you determine that it is indeed time to replace your hot water heater, you will want to take steps to select the
right model. Hot water heaters vary based on the type of energy they use to heat the water as well as the amount of
hot water that they can supply. Because a tankless hot water heater heats water on demand, you may never run out of
hot water. However, it is important to note that only so much hot water can pass through this hot water heater at a
time. Some of these models may not be beneficial in a high demand household where, for example, multiple showers
may be taken at once while running the washing machine and dishwasher. However, it may be possible to install a
tank-style hot water heater that meets your needs or to create a system of two or three tankless units to meet your
needs. We can provide you with expert guidance to help you select the right water heater for your HDB home as well
as your budget.
If your older hot water heater is currently struggling to meet the demands of your HDB home or if it has stopped
working altogether, you may be wondering if now is the time to replace it with a new model. Contact us today to
