Water Heaters and Filtration

Every day we need hot water to get a nice shower, wash the dishes and do laundry. Your water heater is actually a very personal choice. Your needs determine the size, from 10 gallons to 200, electric or gas and tank type or tankless water heater.

Hot water heater servicing, installation and repair have been a Doug Turner Plumbing specialty since we opened our doors. We are factory warranty service providers for Rheem's fine line of water heaters.

Water Heater Installation

It is very important for the water heater to be installed correctly and adjusted accurately to avoid scalding yet still provide plenty of hot water for all your needs. All components of the system including emergency drip pan, vent piping, gas cut off and connector are evaluated and replaced if necessary, saving time and money.

Tank vs. Tankless Water Heaters

With the invention of the tankless water heater, you now have a new choice in water heaters.

The traditional tank type version must heat the water in the whole tank before you will have hot water to use. The tank type water heater is usually your least expensive option. It is a standard in most households and usually sufficient for regular family usage.

A tankless water heater offers continuous hot water. This is ideal for commercial high water usage. Residents that require a lot of hot water for a large family, have specialized shower systems or those who really enjoy extra long showers find the tankless unit appealing. The tankless is more energy efficient since only the water needed is heated. A tankless unit can be installed in an attic thus freeing up utility room space or the water closet. With a tankless unit you have no worry of a huge water issue that can occur when a water tank leaks.

We gladly walk through the pros and cons of each type of water heater so that you can make an educated decision that is right for your family.
