When Should I Replace My Gas Water Heater?

When Should I Replace My Gas Water Heater?

Hot water is a must in every home and a gas water heater can deliver hot water throughout homes with convenience. However, how does one know when the right time to replace a gas water heater in Toronto? Experiencing hot water is running out before done using it? This is a red flag that a water heater may be ready for a replacement. Many issues can be repaired and at other times, a repair won't fix the issue. 

Purpose of a Gas Water Heater

A gas water heater keeps water heated for on-demand use throughout a home. Water heaters can range in size from smaller to very large, depending on the needs of a home. Having the correct sized tank installed helps to ensure there is not too much water being heated at any given time, raising the costs of energy for the home. A working water heater will deliver hot water throughout a home for the needed duration wanted. Contact A-Plus Quality, Heating and Cooling in Toronto and the GTA, to ensure your water heater is functioning properly. 

Importance of a Gas Water Heater

A good quality water heater can last upwards of ten years. Throughout this time, the water heater may require minor repairs and maintenance. Electric water heaters are pricier in comparison to gas water heaters. Heating the water for a home will account for approximately 20% of all energy costs for the home. Natural gas is much cheaper than electricity and will save lots of money over the long term for the homeowner. 

If your gas water heater is nearing the end of its lifespan or constantly experiencing issues, it may be time to replace it. For any of your HVAC needs in Toronto or the GTA, contact our team at A-Plus Quality!

FAQ

  • Why should I maintain my Furnace or AC?

    An annual maintenance will extend the lifetime of your heating and cooling unit. The technician will diagnose and repair any problem with the unit before it fails, so you won't need to worry about any problems when the weather gets very hot in the summer or extremely cold in the winter.

  • How do I know what size unit I need?
    If you have any problems with your system, you should contact the contractor who installed the units. All our systems are covered by a 5 year parts, 7 year compressor limited warranty
     
  • Why is there ice building up on the copper pipes?

    There can be many reasons why the refrigerant pipes are freezing up but the most common issue is low refrigerant levels. If your AC unit has ice buildup turn off the unit for at least 4 hours and call us at 416-410-0337

  • What are mini-split advantages?

    Just as the name implies, a “mini-split” system is a “split system” however available in smaller capacities, for single room to whole house conditioning. Mini-split systems may range from as small as 9,000 BTUh per hour, comparable to say, a small window AC unit, for individual room use, up to 4 and 5 ton capacities for “Room By Room” (also known as “Zoning”) and whole house conditioning. With near universal design, mini-splits are “heat pumps” which provide both heating and cooling for a home. Here are key advantages when compared to traditional split systems:

    Efficiency- Mini-splits are highly engineered systems which offer attractive operating efficiencies, in many instances, eligible for utility company rebates.
    Heat Pump- Most mini-split systems are heat pumps, providing year-round comfort.
    Solar friendly- Due to very low power requirements, mini-splits are an ideal complement to “Net Zero Energy” homes, or any home using renewable power.
    Carbon footprint- Mini-splits are 100% electric, with zero operating emissions of any type.
    Zoning- Most mini-split manufacturers offer systems capable of room-by-room “zoning”, to account for peak demands of a room based upon construction type, exposure orientation and usage.
    Variable capacity- Mini-splits are typically DC inverter driven. That is, a variable speed compressor which modulates in proportion to instantaneous demand. Most conventional split systems, by comparison, operate with an ON-OFF strategy. (Would you use an ON-OFF switch as the accelerator in your vehicle?)
    Location, Location, Location!- Mini-split outdoor units are compact; they can be located far away from noise-sensitive areas, such as bedrooms and home offices. Mini-split indoor units have the ability to be installed where conventional systems cannot.
    They’re perfect for additions and remodels where access to current HVAC system is difficult to access.
    Modern mini-split systems are remarkably quiet; in fact, many times their operation is unnoticed by the end user.

  • Water is Leaking on my Furnace

    Water falling on to the furnace can harm your heating unit by affecting the control boards and other components enclosed in the furnace. There can be many causes to the water overflow, but the most common cases in the summer is the ice build up inside the evaporator coil due to low refrigerant level. Water build up can also be due to the evaporator coil having a crack on the base, if this is the case contact us by booking an appointment or call us today to have a technician come have a look at your unit and repair this issue before it causes excessive damage.
