Your Trusted Water Heater Experts in Chatham

A reliable supply of hot water is essential for the comfort and daily function of your home. From washing dishes and doing laundry to enjoying a hot shower, you depend on your water heater every day, and when it fails, it disrupts your entire routine. Allied Plumbing, Heating & Cooling provides water heater services throughout Chatham, from emergency repairs to complete installations of traditional and tankless units.

Choosing the Right Water Heater for Your Home

The first step toward reliable hot water is choosing the right system. We install and service the two main types of water heaters and will help you decide based on your household's needs, budget, and efficiency goals.

Traditional Tank Water Heaters

These are the most common type of water heater. An insulated tank holds and continuously heats a reserve of water, typically between 40 and 80 gallons. When you turn on a hot water tap, hot water is drawn from the top of the tank.

• Advantages: lower upfront installation cost and simple, proven technology.
• Best for: households that want a budget-friendly upfront investment.

Tankless Water Heaters

Also known as on-demand water heaters, these systems heat water as it flows through the unit instead of storing it in a tank. When a hot water tap is turned on, cold water passes through the unit, where a gas burner or electric element heats it.

• Advantages: long-term energy savings, a continuous supply of hot water, a longer typical lifespan than tank models, and a compact, space-saving design.
• Best for: homeowners focused on efficiency and long-term value. Learn more about tankless water heaters.

Water Heater Installation

Proper installation is critical for the safety, efficiency, and longevity of a new water heater. We size the unit to your home's demand, install it to local building codes and the manufacturer's specifications, and handle the whole job, from removing and disposing of your old unit to connecting and testing the new one.

Water Heater Repair

Is your water heater making strange noises, leaking, or failing to produce enough hot water? Those are signs it needs attention. Our technicians diagnose and repair water heater problems such as:

• No hot water or lukewarm water
• Pilot light or ignition failure
• Rumbling, popping, or whining noises
• Water leaking from the tank or connections
• Discolored or foul-smelling water
• Faulty thermostats or heating elements

Water Heater Maintenance

Over time, sediment builds up in the tank, reducing heating efficiency and contributing to corrosion. Maintenance includes flushing the tank to remove mineral deposits, inspecting the anode rod, testing the temperature and pressure relief valve, and checking for leaks. Regular care helps extend the life of your water heater and keeps it running efficiently.

Water Heater Replacement

Most traditional tank water heaters last roughly 8 to 12 years. If yours is approaching that age, needs frequent repairs, or shows rust and corrosion, it may be time for a replacement. We'll walk you through the options, from efficient tank models to tankless systems, to find the right fit for your home.
