In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the types of water heaters we install, share how each one works, and help you find the perfect fit for your home. So, grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and let’s dive into the wonderful world of water heaters!

1. Traditional Storage Tank Water Heaters: The Classic Choice

Ah, the trusty storage tank water heater. Think of it as the grandparent of water heaters—classic, reliable, and always there when you need it.

These water heaters come with a tank that stores hot water, keeping it ready for use at any time. Whether you’re taking a shower, washing dishes, or doing laundry, the hot water is just a faucet turn away. However, it’s important to note that once the tank runs out of hot water, you’ll need to wait for it to refill and reheat.

We install high-quality storage tank water heaters that are energy-efficient and built to last. These are perfect for households with moderate hot water needs. Plus, they’re budget-friendly, making them a favorite among our customers.

2. Tankless Water Heaters: The On-Demand Wonder

If traditional water heaters are the grandparents, then tankless water heaters are the cool, tech-savvy cousins. These modern marvels heat water only when you need it—no tank, no fuss, no waiting.

Tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand, which means you’ll never run out, even if your family loves long showers. They’re also energy-efficient since they only heat water as needed, saving you money on energy bills.

At First Choice Plus Plumbing & Air, we specialize in installing top-notch tankless water heaters. They’re compact, efficient, and perfect for families who value convenience and savings.

3. Heat Pump Water Heaters: Energy Efficiency at Its Best

Looking for a water heater that’s as eco-friendly as it is efficient? Meet the heat pump water heater. These systems use electricity to move heat from the air or ground to heat your water, making them incredibly energy-efficient.

Heat pump water heaters are ideal for those who want to reduce their carbon footprint and save on utility bills. Plus, they’re known for their durability, so you won’t have to worry about frequent replacements.

Our team at First Choice Plus Plumbing & Air is skilled in heat pump water heater installations. We’ll ensure your system is set up to deliver maximum savings and comfort.

4. Solar Water Heaters: Harness the Power of the Sun

Why not let the sun do all the work? Solar water heaters use energy from the sun to heat your water, making them one of the most sustainable options available.

These systems typically consist of solar panels and a storage tank. They’re perfect for sunny climates and can significantly reduce your energy bills over time. While the upfront cost may be higher, the long-term savings and environmental benefits make it a worthwhile investment.

We love installing solar water heaters for our eco-conscious customers. Our team will guide you through the process and ensure your system is optimized for your home’s needs.

5. Gas Water Heaters: Reliable and Powerful

For those who prefer a traditional approach with a bit more power, gas water heaters are the way to go. These systems use natural gas or propane to heat water quickly and efficiently.

Gas water heaters are known for their fast recovery times, which means you’ll have hot water available even during high-demand periods. They’re a great choice for larger households or homes with high water usage.

At First Choice Plus Plumbing & Air, we install high-efficiency gas water heaters that deliver consistent performance and reliability.

6. Electric Water Heaters: Simple and Effective

Electric water heaters are the no-frills, get-the-job-done option. They use electricity to heat water and are available in both tank and tankless models.

These water heaters are easy to install, require minimal maintenance, and are perfect for households with moderate hot water needs. They’re also a great choice if you don’t have access to natural gas.

Our expert technicians at First Choice Plus Plumbing & Air can help you choose and install the right electric water heater for your home.

7. Hybrid Water Heaters: The Best of Both Worlds

Why choose between tank and tankless when you can have both? Hybrid water heaters combine the benefits of traditional storage tanks with the efficiency of heat pump technology.

These systems are designed to provide hot water on demand while minimizing energy use. They’re perfect for families who want the convenience of a storage tank with the energy savings of a heat pump.

We take pride in installing hybrid water heaters that offer the ultimate balance of performance and efficiency.

8. Condensing Water Heaters: High Efficiency for Large Households

Condensing water heaters are a fantastic option for homes that use natural gas and have high hot water demands. These systems capture and reuse the heat from exhaust gases, making them incredibly efficient.

They’re designed for larger households and can handle multiple hot water needs simultaneously. Plus, they’re environmentally friendly, making them a smart choice for energy-conscious homeowners.

Our team at First Choice Plus Plumbing & Air has the expertise to install condensing water heaters with precision and care.

9. Point-of-Use Water Heaters: Instant Hot Water, Anywhere

Need hot water in a specific area of your home? Point-of-use water heaters are small, compact systems designed to provide instant hot water to a particular fixture or appliance.

These are perfect for areas like bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry rooms where you need hot water quickly. They’re also energy-efficient since they only heat water for the specific location.

We offer professional installation of point-of-use water heaters to ensure you always have hot water where you need it most.

10. Commercial Water Heaters: Heavy-Duty Solutions

While our primary focus is on residential customers, we also offer commercial water heater installation for businesses with high hot water demands.

These systems are designed to handle heavy usage and deliver reliable performance. Whether you run a restaurant, hotel, or other business, we’ve got you covered.

Our experienced technicians will work with you to choose the best commercial water heater for your needs and ensure a seamless installation process.
