Types of Water Heaters We Repair
Conventional Tank Water Heaters
Storage tank water heaters are conventional units with an insulated tank for heating and storing up to 100 gallons of water. These use more energy than most alternatives, but they are the most common type of water heater.
- Tankless Water Heaters - Tankless water heaters, also known as on-demand or instantaneous models, require less space and are more efficient and longer-lasting than traditional tank units.
- Gas Water Heaters - Gas water heaters have higher upfront costs but can save money long-term due to natural gas’s low cost. Regular inspections prevent leaks and sediment buildup, prolonging heater lifespans while protecting homes and families. Natural gas and propane heaters are more energy-efficient, heating water twice as fast and burning half as much gas per hour, but they require manual refueling.
- Condensing Water Heaters - The majority of the water heater’s exhaust is collected by a second heat exchanger before it is vented. The cold water that is flowing in is then heated using that same gas. This method is among the most effective, as water is heated right away rather than being kept.
- Electric Water Heaters - Electric water heaters offer lower upfront costs but higher monthly utility bills, making them more environmentally friendly. Burton AC, Heating, Plumbing & More provides electric hot water repair.
- Hybrid Heat Pumps: Hybrid heat pumps are primarily powered by an electric air-source heat pump housed within the tank. These systems consume a fraction of the energy that traditional water heaters do.
Common Water Heater Issues

- Sediment Buildup
- Faulty Temperature
- Broken Pressure Relief or Drain Valve
