Most of us are familiar with tank water heaters. Cold water coming into your home is stored in tank water heaters. Then the water is heated by electricity, natural gas, propane, heat pumps, and even solar energy. When the water in the tank cools off, the fuel kicks in and heats it up some more. When you turn on your shower, faucet, dishwasher, or washing machine, hot water is ready for you to use.

Hot water heaters are complicated pieces of equipment. They should only be installed by professional, fully-licensed plumbers, like those at Royal Flush. There are horror stories of homeowners trying to fix or replace their own water heaters that have required re-piping to correct.

Dangers come with doing this yourself, including shock, gas leaks, serious water damage, carbon monoxide poisoning, and explosions. Don’t take chances… call us when you have any problem with a water heater.
