Approximately 25 percent of annual energy costs in a home are due to heating water. Homeowners typically don't consider this cost. However, as energy costs rise, energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important. Homes with older, inefficient water heaters consume more energy compared to newer, energy-efficient models.
Signs Your Water Heater Needs to Be Replaced
While water heater repair is essential to maintain the functionality and efficiency of the equipment, it might not always suffice. Replacing the unit might be the optimal solution to ensure a continuous supply of hot water without costly repairs or high water bills.
There are several reasons why water heaters can fail:
- Aging: Water heaters typically last about 12 years. Around 10 years, the system may begin to deteriorate, indicating a need for replacement.
- Corrosion and Rust: Water heaters have sacrificial anodes or active metal rods to shield the system from corrosion caused by constant water exposure. However, they will eventually rust and require replacement.
- Sediment Accumulation: The minerals from tap water settle at the bottom of the water heater tank, causing sediment that reduces efficiency.
- Improper Water Heater Size: A water heater that's too small for your needs might be installed. If that occurs, the equipment will overwork and fail prematurely.

Kinds of Water Heaters Uniontown Plumbing Services Installs in Uniontown, AL:
Electric Hot Water Systems
Electric water heaters are the most common type of unit residents use in Uniontown, AL. Electrical currents are driven through thermostats in these systems to heat one or more elements. These elements heat the water to a pre-specified temperature.
The thermostats in these water heaters are pre-set to standard temperatures. This temperature can be adjusted; however, we advise against attempting this due to the risk of electric shock.
Thermostats and elements often fail, and that’s where Uniontown Plumbing Services comes in. We can replace specific components of the heater, or install an entirely new unit for you, connecting both the waterlines and electrical components.Electric water heaters vary in size from 30 gallons to more than 75 gallons, and offer a greater variety of dimensions than gas heaters.
Gas-Fired Water Heaters
These gas water heaters ignite a burner using a small flow of natural gas. This method heats the water inside.
Gas water heaters are popular because of their relatively low price, high efficiency, and useful lifespan (about 8-14 years average). The recovery rate of these heaters is relatively quick, and they can be set to temperatures as high as 130 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat generated is channeled through a flue or vent pipe located at the top of the heater. The vent pipe often connects with the home’s heating and air unit vent system.
These gas water heaters range in size from 40 gallons to over 100 gallons for large residential and commercial units. Uniontown Plumbing Services handles installation and service for all sizes, repairing vent pipes, gas control valves, burner assemblies, and gas lines. Our team installs multiple water heaters each week and knows the service options for your water heater inside and out.
