Water heaters are vital to ensure that homeowners have an adequate supply of hot water to bathe, wash water, andother daily activities. It’s essential to have the right water heater for their needs, and one of the things they’ll need to consider is the size of their heating system. Having the wrong heater size can lead to shortages of hot water.
The homeowners can get a storage tank water heater, tankless water heater, or a solar water heating system to supply hot water. These three heating systems have different sizing requirements.
The storage tank water heater is a common heating system that’s suitable for larger households. This heating system has an insulated tank that stocks hot water until people need them.
The tankless water heater is newer and more energy-efficient than the tank water heater. The heater can be sized after the flow rate, and temperature rise is determined.
Solar water heating systems include a storage tank and solar collector and can either have circulating pumps and controls or not. A professional plumber is needed to determine the heater’s requirements and collector sizing.Professional plumbers can help homeowners with their water heating systems and trenchless sewer line repair, among others when needed.
