Hot Water Heater Maintenance

water heater repair TampaIt’s extremely important to perform regular maintenance on your home’s hot water heater. Besides the safety concerns that a faulty water heater can cause, hot water is also the third largest energy expense in your home. Most electric water heaters will last for about 10–15 years, with gas heaters requiring replacement a bit sooner. Water heaters are a relatively expensive piece of equipment and they operate under extreme conditions of temperature and pressure. When a water heater fails prematurely, the culprit is usually corrosion. Following a solid water heater maintenance plan can help prevent this corrosion from forming and give you many more years of use without having to have hot water heater repair.

Here are a list of ways to help maintain your water heater:

A Few Water Softener Pointers

Posted by Cass Plumbing on September 24, 2011   |   1 Comment

This week I wanted to talk to you about water softeners and give you a few quick tips.

Many times we take our water and softeners for granted.  It works hard to keep you with fresh, better tasting, pure water.  Combine a softener with a filter and WOW… it’s magically fantastical!  Regular softener maintenance can help keep your water softener working happily and smoothly for many years.  Water softeners are vital in areas of the country where hard water is common like here in Florida.  Mineral deposits make washing difficult and decrease the efficiency and life of water heaters, fixtures or any plumbing appliance prematurely.

Tampa Plumbing: What’s the Difference between Conventional and Tankless Water Heaters?

Posted by Cass Plumbing on September 13, 2011   |   1 Comment

As promised, this week the Cass Plumbing team gathered some information about the differences between conventional and tankless water heaters.   It’s best that you use this only as a guide and investigate further on your own.  Be careful though — a lot of the information we found online was biased or outdated.  Venting was an issue that one web site seemed to dwell on quite a bit.  If you already have a gas water heater,  the vent is already there.  If you don’t currently own one,  a tankless heater can be installed outside which makes the “venting” issue irrelevant.

Tampa Water HeaterThere are Pros and Cons to all types of water heaters – both conventional and tankless.   We have even found substantial differences between some brands.  If you already have gas service within your home, well that’s a huge plus.  Adding gas service may be more expensive and a larger undertaking than expected at the front end, but eventually the savings will catch up.  Water filters and softeners, or better yet our NUVO H2O conditioners, (Check out our blog a few weeks ago) are recommended for every type of water heater and appliance.
