“Clean It, Fix It, or Replace It”
A new water heater should match the household's hot-water needs and the installation requirements of the home. Bomar Heating and Cooling provides water heater installation and replacement, with tank and tankless options to discuss.
Tell us what the current water heater can no longer do. Running out of hot water, changes in performance and the condition of the equipment help frame the conversation before a replacement is selected.
Tell Bomar what you have, what has changed, and what you want the next step to solve.
A symptom does not identify its cause. Ask whether the issue calls for service, a change in capacity or equipment replacement. Keep away from wet electrical equipment and request prompt guidance if a leak develops.
A tank water heater stores heated water for use throughout the home. Selection should consider household demand, available utilities and the installation space. Tank size alone does not explain how well the system will handle repeated or overlapping use.
Discuss the times when demand is greatest. Showers, laundry and other uses may overlap, so explain the pattern rather than choosing solely from the capacity of the existing tank.
A tankless unit heats water as it passes through the equipment. Its ability to serve simultaneous fixtures depends on the model and installation conditions. It should not be assumed to provide unlimited hot water at every fixture regardless of demand.
A conversion may involve changes to utilities, venting or other connections. Ask which modifications are necessary and how they affect the installed cost and ongoing maintenance.
A straightforward tank replacement and a conversion to tankless can involve different work. Compare the complete proposal rather than the equipment price alone.
There is no single best water heater arrangement for every household. Available utilities, space, budget and hot-water use all matter. Explain any planned household or plumbing changes before selecting capacity.
Ask what maintenance the proposed unit requires and how water conditions may affect care. Retain the instructions and installation documents so future service can be based on the equipment actually installed.
