Water Heater Installation And Repair

 Our Rowland Heights Plumbing Company specializes in the installation and repair of hot water heaters. Since this is one of the tasks we take on most often, we have become experts in the field. We know, for instance, that your traditional storage water heater isn't the only option available and that companies like GE and Whirlpool aren't the only guys on the block anymore. As a matter of fact, the hot water heater industry has changed so dramatically that you might not recognize any of the players anymore.

 Whirlpool Corporation, in the past twenty years, has absorbed or eliminated most of the old water heater and appliance manufacturers. In 2006, when they acquired Maytag, they became the largest appliance manufacturer in the world. They also make hot water heaters and are now coming out with some of the newest in water heater technology. Since they have at this point accumulated enormous resources and manufacturing capabilities they are able to compete in almost every appliance and plumbing fixture market. Their success is a testament to that.

 Despite Whirlpool's dominance of the appliance market, there are other companies out there with water heaters on the market that actually outsell them. Bosch, perhaps better known for their tool line, is more popular worldwide, while Rheem is considered one of the industry leaders. Even newer companies, like Eemax, are getting into the mix. Their tank-less water heaters are considered the best you can buy and their prices are untouchable right now. What's better than high quality for an affordable price?

  Another factor that is revolutionizing the hot water heater industry is the push for alternative energy powered and water conservative heaters. Solar is popular, but not practical in all climates. Hybrid systems, a combination of solar powered and traditional, seem to be gaining ground in overall sales numbers, but they still have a long way to go before they're affordable for everyone. What was once a simple decision has turned into a complicated dilemma for those who want to upgrade their hot water heater. If you have questions about yours, please give us a call.
