Water Heater Repair & Replacement in Lexington
Are you looking for efficient water heater repair or replacement in Lexington or the surrounding areas? Kimco Plumbing & Air can deliver with a team of experienced plumbers at your beck and call. We understand how to work with all of the major brands of water heaters on the market, and we aim to fix your problem quickly, whether it’s a leak or a complete lack of warm water, so you can get back to your normal routine.
Water heaters play a massive role in our daily lives, even if you don’t notice it in the moment. We’d like to make sure you have a water heater that can stand the test of time, either by repairing your existing appliance or providing you with a new one.
Types of Water Heaters
- Storage Water Heaters: Also sometimes called traditional water heaters, these devices hold your water perpetually heated in a tank. These appliances are likely what you think of first when you imagine a water heater, as the technology has been around for a while. They are the preferred solution for many families as they are less expensive than many alternatives, and you can choose the tank size that makes the most sense for your home.
- Tankless Water Heaters: These heaters are newer but becoming more popular as time goes on. As the name indicates, they do not store water in a tank, so they take up much less room. Instead, they heat water on demand, using less energy than a traditional water heater in the process. They do tend to cost more upfront, however, and may not be the best solution for a large house.
Water Heater Repair vs. Replacement
If something goes wrong with your water heater, it’s up to your trusted plumber at Kimco Plumbing & Air to determine whether or not water heater repair in Lexington can fix it. You may have heard the myth that water heater repair is usually not worth it, and it’s better to simply replace your water heater if something goes wrong. While sometimes this is the case, often if your water heater is relatively new, there is no reason to replace it unless it has a major failure.
We will recommend getting a replacement if your water heater’s repair will cost nearly as much as simply replacing it. Similarly, if we believe you will keep having the same issue or having to pay for repairs, we may tell you to get a new water heater as a cost-saving measure. Finally, if your water heater is close to the end of its lifespan, replacement is often the best way to avoid future problems at inconvenient times. We always have your best interests and goals for your home in mind when providing our services.
