Types of Water Heaters We Install

At Spartan Plumbing, we understand that every home is different, and so are its hot water needs. That’s why we offer a wide variety of water heaters to suit every household. From traditional systems to modern, energy-efficient options, we’re here to help you find the perfect fit for your home and budget.

Traditional Tank Water Heaters: Reliable and Affordable

Traditional tank water heaters are still one of the most popular choices for many homeowners. These systems store a large amount of hot water in a tank, making them ideal for homes with high water usage. With sizes ranging from 30 to 80 gallons, you can be confident that there’s a model to meet your needs.

Benefits:

• Dependable: Provides a steady supply of hot water, perfect for families with multiple bathrooms or high-demand appliances.
• Affordable: Traditional tanks are typically less expensive to install than newer technologies like tankless systems.
• Simple and Familiar: Familiar technology that’s easy to maintain and repair if necessary.

While they require space for the tank, these heaters are a solid, economical choice for many households in Tacoma.

Tankless Water Heaters: Energy-Saving and Endless Hot Water

If you’re looking for an energy-efficient, space-saving option, a tankless water heater could be the perfect solution. Unlike traditional models, tankless systems don’t store water. Instead, they heat water on demand, meaning you’ll never run out of hot water again.

Benefits:

• Endless Hot Water: Since they heat water as needed, you won’t experience the dreaded “cold shower” when multiple people use hot water at the same time.
• Energy Efficient: Tankless systems only use energy when hot water is being used, which can save up to 30% on energy bills.
• Compact and Space-Saving: These heaters are small and mount on the wall, freeing up space in your home.
• Longer Lifespan: Tankless units typically last 20+ years, double the life expectancy of traditional tank heaters.

Whether you’re installing it in a home with high water usage or a smaller, energy-conscious space, tankless water heaters provide the ultimate in efficiency and convenience.

Gas or Electric Water Heaters: Options to Match Your Home’s Setup and Budget

When choosing between a gas or electric water heater, it comes down to your home’s setup, energy sources, and preferences. Both options have their advantages, and Spartan Plumbing is here to help you decide which is best for your needs.

Gas Water Heaters:

• Faster Heating: Gas water heaters tend to heat water faster than electric models, so you can get hot water more quickly.
• Lower Operating Costs: Gas is typically cheaper than electricity, making gas water heaters more cost-effective in the long run.
• Works During Power Outages: Gas systems continue to work even if the electricity goes out, offering added reliability in emergencies.

Electric Water Heaters:

• Easier to Install: Electric units are generally easier and cheaper to install since they don’t require a gas line.
• Safer: With no combustion process involved, electric water heaters are less risky in terms of fire or gas leaks.
• More Compact: Electric water heaters can be smaller and more flexible in terms of placement, especially in homes that lack a gas supply.

Whether you’re looking for the reliability of gas or the convenience of electricity, Spartan Plumbing offers a range of gas and electric systems to suit any home.

When your water heater breaks down, it disrupts your entire household. From chilly showers to skipped laundry, no hot water can be a real inconvenience. Fortunately, Spartan Plumbing is here to help.

As Tacoma’s trusted plumbing experts, we specialize in fast and effective water heater repairs that restore comfort to your home.

Common Problems We Fix

If you’re experiencing any of the following, give us a call, and we’ll get your water heater running smoothly again:

No Hot Water at All

If you’re waking up to an icy shower or finding your hot water has completely stopped, you likely have a serious issue with your water heater. A broken thermostat, faulty heating element, or gas supply issue could be to blame.

Whatever the cause, our team can quickly diagnose the problem and restore your hot water in no time.

Inconsistent Temperatures

If your water heater is giving you hot water one minute and freezing cold the next, it’s a sign that something’s not right.

This can happen due to a variety of issues, including a broken thermostat, sediment buildup, or malfunctioning valves. We’ll troubleshoot and ensure you get consistent hot water every time.

Strange Noises from the Tank

Hearing popping, banging, or gurgling noises from your water heater? These sounds are usually caused by sediment buildup in the tank, which can cause overheating and damage if left unchecked.

Our plumbers will flush the tank, remove any debris, and prevent further damage to your system.

Pilot Light or Ignition Problems

If you have a gas-powered water heater, the pilot light may occasionally go out or fail to ignite. This could be due to a dirty pilot light, a faulty thermocouple, or a gas supply issue.

Our technicians will identify the issue, clean the parts, and restore your water heater’s ability to heat water efficiently.

Leaks or Visible Rust

Leaks around your water heater or visible rust on the tank are major red flags. These signs indicate that your tank may be corroding or has a significant leak. Continuing to use a rusted or leaking water heater can cause water damage to your home.

Our team will inspect and repair the system, and if necessary, replace parts to ensure your home stays dry and safe.

We’ll walk you through your options and provide honest advice based on your system’s condition and age.
