Signs A Tankless Water Heater Installation Is Right For You

Homeowners are starting to realize all the cost-savings and efficiency of a tankless water heater installation. If you have been thinking about moving away from a traditional water heater with a tank, Trident Plumbing and Drain Cleaning will be happy to come to your Snohomish property for a consultation.

The newest technology features lower operating costs, a longer lifespan, and many other benefits when comparing tankless units to tank-based systems. But how can you tell if going tankless is right for you? Will it be worth the investment?

Some of the top signs to look for telling you it is time to switch to tankless include:

Your current water heater is showing signs of wear
A traditional tanked water heater usually lasts about 10 to 15 years. Once the system gets older, efficiency decreases. Heating elements and certain parts could get clogged with corrosion, minerals, and grime. As this happens, performance lacks, and you could see higher costs to heat the water.
You run out of hot water often
Lack of hot water can be irritating, especially if you are trying to enjoy a long, relaxing shower. You could run out of water regularly with a smaller or old water heater. This is especially true if several family members are getting ready in the morning. With a tankless unit, you have on-demand water that heats it as needed. This is why they are often referred to as endless hot water systems.
You don’t mind paying a bit more upfront for long-term benefits
While you might have a higher initial investment in a tankless system versus replacing your hot water with another tanked unit, the benefits are immense. If you can pay more upfront for a quality tankless unit, you will see long-term savings and much less frustration than a traditional tanked water heater.

If it is time to upgrade your Snohomish property with tankless water heater technology, let Trident Plumbing and Drain Cleaning help. Call us at (425) 321-6043. We are available to help with tankless and tanked units to meet your needs.

Landon replaced our toilet. He was really easy to work with and answered all our questions. He was friendly & professional. He left everything clean. We already have an appointment with him to replace the garbage disposal.

Landon dug up and repaired an outdoor pipe leak from our water main, which involved digging a hole in frozen ground with snow outside. Excellent quality work, explained everything clearly, and helped identify issues with our water pressure to avoid leaks in the future. He even moved around other work so he could make ours a priority, as we hadn't had water for two weeks. Extremely satisfied and will definitely use Trident again.

Great experience! Devon fixed a hammering in our pipes we’d been living with for too long. He investigated all through the house, and then found that we needed a piece replaced in our shower handle. Once he found the issue he fixed it in 10 minutes. I’ve used Trident twice now, and had great experiences both times. I had Landon before who was also awesome. Can’t recommend this company enough, they’re honest and reliable.

I converted from a well to PUD water, during the initial pressure test we had a pin hole leak inside the house. Landon came out, he removed the pipe and installed a new section of pipe. I can't thank him enough. Vanessa M

We have an older home and we’ve had Landon out 4 times now for various copper pipe repairs as well as a toilet replacement, well house pipe repair, and a water heater mixing valve. They aren’t free, but they respond and communicate well. They’ll be our “go-to” for as long as they’re around. Great service & solid people.

Devon at Trident is THE BEST!!!!! I had been living with mysterious sewer smell inside my house for 8 months. I had multiple septic and plumbers come out and after the most basic look around, they would make very expensive recommendations or have no idea at all. The septic folks came and pumped twice and recommended digging up all the pipes leading from the house to the tank and the plumbers talked to me for about 15 minutes, checked the sinks and crawl space and recommended a smoke test (with a price tag of over $1000). Now....Devon came with a stink detector and the first thing he did was go in the attic and then the crawl space (where he discovered a completely unrelated but dire leak and rot situation that needed to be replaced ASAP). He spent about an hour doing an incredibly thorough look around and then finally found that the previous owners had left a sewage pipe open in the attic. So anytime the shower or toilet was used, it resulted in a horrible smell that was just undetectable by anyone else. I am forever thankful for Devon and the folks at Trident. I will not be using any other plumbers. Ever. And neither should you!! The quality Trident offers compared to all those other franchise companies does not even compare. Thank goodness for top notch, small businesses out there. Thank you!

We recently moved and found Trident Plumbing after we needed to have a few things done at the new house. From the first call they were extremely responsive, understanding, patient, and genuinely nice and accommodating. The office staff is always courteous, and the plumber they sent out, Landon, has been beyond helpful. Landon has been out numerous times now to install a closet flange and new toilet, replace / install a dishwasher, clean out and jet our sink drain lines, replace our broken airgap, and install drain lines for our hot water heater / boiler. His work is always exceptional and he is always very professional and nice. He has gone out of his way to help us find parts and tools that we needed for our sink. We would highly recommend Trident Plumbing.
