What are the Benefits of Traditional Water Heaters?
Traditional water heaters use a tank to store and heat your home’s hot water. The tank size ranges anywhere between 30-60 gallons, though the most common size is 50 gallons. While these take up a lot of space and need to be indoors, traditional waters heaters are an ideal choice, especially for homeowners who already have this style of water heater.
Top Benefits of Traditional Water Heaters:
- Lower initial cost
- Easy and inexpensive to replace
- Can operate during an outage if gas powered
- More options to choose from
- Can provide a larger supply of hot water (high flow rate)
Why Choose Tankless Water Heaters?
As tankless water heaters continue to grow in popularity, many homeowners are wondering if upgrading is worth it. Also called on-demand water heaters, tankless water heaters are ideal for small- to medium-sized homes and are very efficient.
Key Advantages of Tankless Water Heaters:
- More energy-efficient for smaller homes
- Lower utility bills
- More space-efficient
- Hot water on demand
- Longer life span
- Requires less upkeep
Whether a traditional or tankless water heater is right for your home is entirely up to your preferences, your budget, and your space. Plumbing Services PNW will help you decide based on these factors, taking into consideration your specific needs.

- Fluctuating temperatures – If you’re noticing the temperature of your water changing drastically, this is also a sign you may need a new water heater.
- Discolored or smelly water – Smelly odors coming from your water may be a sign of rust or bacteria building up in your water heater.
- Changing water pressure – Having a large build up of sediment in your water heater can lead to issues with maintaining water pressure.
- Frequent repairs – If your water heater is constantly breaking down and requiring more repairs it may be a more cost-efficient option to consider a replacement.

What are the Signs You Need Water Heater Repair?
- Inconsistent Water Temperature: If your water heater is unable to maintain a consistent temperature, fluctuating between hot and cold, it may need professional attention.
- Low Hot Water Pressure: A noticeable drop in hot water pressure can indicate sediment build-up in the tank or pipes, which restricts water flow.
- Strange Noises: Unusual sounds like banging, popping, or rumbling coming from the water heater are often caused by sediment accumulation at the bottom of the tank.
- Discolored Water: Rusty or muddy water coming from the hot water tap suggests corrosion inside the tank, which could lead to leaks.
- Water Leaks: Puddles or moisture around the base of the water heater indicate possible leaks from the tank or connections, requiring immediate repair to prevent water damage.
- Age of the Water Heater: Most water heaters last about 8-12 years. If yours is older, it might be time for a replacement rather than a repair.
- Foul Smell: A sulfur or rotten egg odor in the hot water can be a sign of bacterial growth inside the tank, necessitating a professional cleaning or repair.

"Hands down the best plumber in town"
I’ve had problems as long as I’ve lived in this house – I’ve made calls no less than 3 times this year for backups with my plumbing and it turns out a tree root took out my plumbing and the guys from Plumbing Services PNW were finally able to find the problem and resolve it. I’ve had 3 other plumbers out here for this same problem – and none of them were able to fix it properly, so every other month, when I flushed the toilet, it would back up – and never knew why it kept happening. Glad to know there are pros that know what they are doing – hands down the best plumber in town.

"They came out on time and got it done"
I had a leak in my shower tub, called all over, everyone i talked to couldn’t come out on the same day, then I called Plumbing Services PNW and they came out on time and got it done, no dragging their feet just got right to it the way it should be, they also fixed something else for me. I would recommend them, straight up honest at pretty reasonable price. Thanks!

"The most professional plumber that I have dealt with"
My water heater wasn’t producing enough hot water. I was considering getting a tankless electrical water heater.
They came out and examined my heater. He determined that it had been installed incorrectly. I thought I needed a new heater but I didn’t. It was a very simple fix and he saved me a lot of headache and money. This is the most professional plumber that I have dealt with and I highly recommend this company.
