FAQs About OUR Hot Water Heater Replacement in Unionville, CT
How do I know when my water heater needs replacement?
Several signs indicate it's time for water heater replacement rather than repair. If your unit is over 10 years old and experiencing problems like rusty water, rumbling noises, or visible corrosion around the tank, replacement is typically more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. Sudden increases in energy bills, inconsistent water temperature, or frequent pilot light issues also suggest your system has reached the end of its useful life. Our technicians can evaluate your specific situation and help you decide whether repair or replacement makes better financial sense.
What's the difference between tank and tankless water heaters?
Tank water heaters store heated water in an insulated reservoir, providing immediate hot water but consuming energy continuously to maintain temperature. Tankless systems heat water on-demand as it flows through the unit, eliminating standby energy losses but requiring higher upfront investment. Tank systems cost less initially and work well for most families, while tankless units offer unlimited hot water, longer lifespan, and significant space savings. Your choice depends on household size, hot water usage patterns, available space, and budget considerations.
How long does a water heater replacement take?
Most standard tank water heater replacements take 2-4 hours to complete, depending on your home's configuration and any necessary upgrades to connections or venting. Tankless installations typically require 4-6 hours, especially if gas line modifications or electrical upgrades are needed. Our technicians work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring all connections are properly secured and tested. Complex installations involving significant plumbing or electrical modifications may require additional time, which we'll discuss upfront during your consultation.
What size water heater do I need for my home?
Water heater sizing depends on your household's peak hot water demand, not just the number of people living in your home. We calculate requirements based on simultaneous usage patterns—like morning showers, dishwasher cycles, and laundry loads. A typical family of four needs a 40-50 gallon tank system or a tankless unit rated for 7-8 gallons per minute. Larger households or homes with high-demand appliances may require bigger systems. Our technicians assess your specific usage patterns and recommend appropriately-sized equipment for optimal performance and efficiency.
Do you handle permits and inspections for water heater replacement?
Yes, Elite Mechanical manages all necessary permits and inspections required for water heater replacement in Connecticut. We're familiar with local building codes and ensure every installation meets or exceeds safety and performance standards. Our established relationships with local inspection departments help streamline the approval process, preventing delays in your project completion. All permits and inspection fees are included in our upfront pricing, so you won't encounter unexpected costs during your replacement project.
What happens to my old water heater?
We handle complete removal and proper disposal of your old water heater in compliance with Connecticut environmental regulations. This includes draining the system safely, disconnecting all utilities, and transporting the unit to appropriate recycling facilities. Many components of old water heaters can be recycled, including the steel tank and copper connections. Our disposal process is included in your replacement service, so you don't need to worry about arranging separate pickup or dealing with disposal logistics.
