Traditional Water Heater
Common problems with traditional water heaters may include sediment build-up, a faulty thermostat, a malfunctioning heating element, or leaks. It’s crucial to have your water heater periodically inspected, serviced, and repaired or replaced if a serious problem has developed. We recommend you have us perform preventative maintenance on your water heater once a year because:
- We check your safety relief valve and emergency shutoff valve to make sure that your water heater is as safe as possible.
- We test the water temperature to make sure it’s at an optimal level.
- We inspect your burner assembly and the power supply that’s heating the water.
- If necessary, we flush out the system to get rid of any debris that may cause a problem with the efficiency of the machine.
These steps all help to ensure that your water heater is working as efficiently as possible, and they’ll help to increase the water heater’s lifespan.
Tankless Water Heater
Traditional water heaters tend to waste a lot of energy, constantly working to keep a full tank of water hot so that hot water can be available at the moment you need it. Tankless water heaters eliminate this problem by heating water only when necessary.
McMahon will deliver your new water heater, install it, and remove the old one. All our work is guaranteed, but make sure you book your annual service appointment with us to keep your tankless water heater running as it should.
Heat Pump Water Heater
Heat pump water heaters can be two to thee times more energy-efficient than conventional water heaters, dramatically reducing your home’s energy consumption while providing reliable hot water. At McMahon Plumbing & Heating, we are experienced installers of all leading heat pump water heater brands, including Cala Systems’ new smart water heater and other trusted manufacturers like AO Smith and Rheem.
Heat pump water heaters use electricity to move heat from one place to another instead of generating heat directly. They work like a refrigerator in reverse, pulling heat from the surrounding air and transferring it at a higher temperature to heat water in a storage tank.
