Heat Pump Water Heater Services

Fossil fuel reserves in the world will be used up in 40 years. If we use creative (and more destructive) practices to extract those reserves, we could extend this period to 52 years. Fossil fuels will have to be replaced with renewable and mixed sources of energy. Gas water heaters and propane water heaters can be very inefficient and emit lots of harmful greenhouse gases. Electrical water heating for daily use moves us towards more energy efficiency and a lower carbon footprint in day-to-day life. Heat pump water heaters are fully electric water heating units that can turn 1 Kilowatts of electricity into 3 kilowatts or more worth of heat.

Your water heater is one of the more robust consumers of power among your home appliances. In the average home, the hot water heater is responsible for about 17 percent of the total energy use. With technology like heat pump water heaters and tankless units, energy savings with the way they are able to operate as opposed to traditional gas tank water heaters will help homes save money.

Luckily in the San Francisco Bay Area, there are rebates available from BayRen and other local or federal organizations. This includes federal tax breaks and even manufacturer rebates. In Sonoma County, we have rebates from Sonoma Clean Power through the Advanced Energy Center to help reduce the cost. Rebates when you have a new unit installed can be thousands of dollars for replacing an existing gas water heater. At John Owens, we can assist you with any potential rebates for your new water heating product. If you are thinking of getting a new water heater installation, we can help you decide which rebates to apply for and help you with the application process.

• Water with an uneven tint.

• The installed equipment is leaking water or is pooling water around the unit. The most frequent causes of this kind of leakage include corroded pipelines, broken water tanks, and broken gear.

• The water's temperature is incorrect. This makes sense if there is a sizable mineral buildup that won't drain or a malfunctioning thermostat in an installed heater.

• No hot water: This could be due to improper maintenance of the plumbing system.

• Noises emanating from your device: These typically signify that the sediment buildup in the tank needs cleaning.

• If you require hot water, there might not be enough water pressure. Low water pressure can be a sign of a plumbing problem with the pipes connecting the water heater to your bathroom fixture or the heater itself.

Water heater repair can be necessary if you are noticing things like rumbling or popping noises in the water tank, leaks from pipes or valves, inadequate water temperatures in appliances like the shower or dishwasher, rust in the water, or strange-tasting or smelling water. John Owens Services offers water heater repair for any water heater installation in order to make sure your hot water heater unit is performing as it should to meet your water heating needs. If you notice things like pooling water around the water tank, it probably makes sense to get a replacement water heater rather than repairs. This can be a sign that the tank has completely corroded, and a new water heater installation is essential in that case.
