Professional Water Heater Installation & Replacement

Having a new water heater installed doesn’t have to be a stressful process. Express Plumbing offers easy water heater installation and replacement. When you contact us, a qualified plumber can help you plan the process and choose the right water heater for your home. 

Whether you decide on an economic model or a high-end upgrade, you can expect professionalism, courtesy, and convenience every step of the way. Let us help you choose between a tank or tankless model to suit your home and budget. 

Proactive Water Heater Maintenance

Once you’ve installed your tank or tankless water heater, consider an annual maintenance schedule to help ensure it continues working at optimal performance. During a maintenance call, your plumber inspects the anode rod, checks for leaks and corrosion, looks at the valves, and makes sure the temperature, pressure, and thermostat are in good working order. 

The hard water in the Meridian area can cause sediment deposits to build up over time. Regular maintenance helps clear up these issues before they become big problems. Keeping your water heater in good working order gives you peace of mind that your system will run efficiently (and cost-effectively) for longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

My water heater isn’t producing hot water, what could be the problem?

Some of the most common reasons a water heater doesn’t produce hot water include a faulty heating element, a malfunctioning thermostat, sediment buildup, a valve failure, or a gas leak. The cold Idaho winters can affect a water heater’s efficiency in homes without proper insulation. 

Why is my water heater leaking?

A water heater leak can indicate a damaged or failing pressure valve, a cracked tank, or loose fittings and connections. If you notice moisture on the outside of your water heater or on the floor around it, contact a plumber. They’ll be able to determine the issue and fix it safely. 

Why does my water heater make strange noises?

If your water heater makes banging or hissing sounds, it’s likely due to sediment buildup in the tank. A screeching or whistling sound could indicate an issue with a pressure valve. Call a plumber before a major problem occurs. Schedule annual maintenance to ensure your system continues to work properly. 

Is it normal for my water heater to smell like sulfur?

It’s not normal for your water heater to smell bad. If the hot water coming out of your taps smells like sulfur, it’s likely from a type of sulfate bacteria that can produce a gas called hydrogen sulfide. This gas can affect the smell and taste of your hot water. If you’re smelling a “rotten egg” odor with a gas water heater, it’s possible you have a gas leak. Leave the house and call a professional right away.

What size water heater do I need for my household?

The size of water heater you’ll need depends on how many people live in the home and how much hot water you use on a regular basis. For example, a family with two adults and five kids will not only take more showers, but they’ll also have more dishes and laundry. If you’re looking to replace your water heater, a plumber can help you figure out what size is best for your home.

What are the most energy-efficient water heaters available?

Tankless water heaters are the most energy-efficient water heaters because they don’t waste energy storing pre-heated water. Instead, they heat on demand. Depending on the model and size, they’re up to 80% more efficient than a traditional tank-style model.
