Hot Water Heater Repair & Installation

Heating your water in seconds flat isn’t considered much of a luxury in our day and age anymore. Having instantly hot water has become a necessity for most residents in the community, which is why nearly every home will have a water heater in it. This is why we proudly provide water heater repair and installation in Indianapolis.

How Your Water Heater Works

Most homes have historically used tank-type water heaters, which look like a big cylinder found in your basement or a utility closet. Knowing how your water heater works can potentially help you identify if it is time to repair or replace your unit.

Here’s a simple guide on how your tank-type water heater works:
  1. The tank is automatically filled with water
  2. When you turn on your hot water at a faucet, the energy source kicks in to warm up your water
  3. When the water in the tank has been used, you have to wait for it to refill for more hot water

These tank-type water heaters come in varying sizes. If your water heater is leaking or your water is not hot enough, it may be time to replace your unit. At Hope Plumbing, we install standard water heaters daily. The average size of a water heater at home ranges from 40 to 50 gallons, but our water heater specialists can also install as high as 120 gallons.
