Water Heaters

We have five real choices when it comes to heating your potable hot water. Señor Rooter Plumbing has a full line of each type of heating system and we can install them all.

  • Conventional Electric Tank: Consists of 2 elements, 2 thermostats (1 upper and 1 lower). Lower 50% of heater remains heated at all times. When demand for additional hot water is required, the upper element kicks in. *It is estimated that 30% of your power bill is used to heat water in this manner
  • Conventional Gas Tank: Natural or propane gas tank type heaters keep the entire tank hot at all times.
  • Tankless (Electrical): We do not recommend these heaters, as we have found them to be very problematic.
  • Tankless (Gas): Natural gas or propane unlike antiquated tank type water heaters that heat and reheat the same water 24 hours a day. Tankless water heater technology is more efficient. Only heating water when required. It also allows for continual use never running out.
  • Hybrid Electric Heat Pump: Hybrid Electric heat-pump water heaters use a heat pump to pull heat and humidity from the surrounding air and put it into the water heater. Ideally installed in the garage.
