Water Heater Installation and Repair in Rochester Hills, MI

Here at Birmingham Plumbing, Heating & Cooling of Michigan, we think about water heaters a lot, but we know that you, as a homeowner or facilities manager, may not give them much thought at all. It’s easy to take hot water for granted in the modern world. After all, most of us get hot water on demand at the turn of a knob. It’s only when your water heater breaks down that you realize how essential it is to the overall levels of comfort, hygiene, and functionality in your building.

Birmingham Plumbing, Heating & Cooling: Your Trusted Water Heater Experts

Our highly skilled technicians are trained to work with all brands and styles of water heaters. We can conduct routine inspections, replace or repair broken water heaters or tanks, or install a brand-new unit. This expertise extends to both traditional, tank-based hot water systems and state-of-the-art tankless water heaters.

  • Traditional water heaters. “Old school” water heating systems use a large hot water tank that gets pre-heated and kept hot so that hot water is available when someone turns on a hot water tap.
  • Tankless water heaters. Tankless water heaters can heat water much faster, so water is never heated until needed. This not only saves a huge amount of space by eliminating the bulky tank, it also saves on electricity by only heating water when necessary and eliminating the need to perpetually keep dozens of gallons of water hot.

Time to Go Tankless?

If your Birmingham Plumbing, Heating & Cooling tech determines that your hot water tank needs replacing, perhaps it is time to consider a tankless water heater system. Tankless hot water systems are reliable, easy to configure, low maintenance, and reduce your energy consumption. In fact, it’s estimated that switching from a hot water tank to a tankless heater will reduce your hot water system’s energy use by roughly 25-33%.

This reduces both your carbon footprint and your power bill. On average, tankless water heaters also last around 5-10 years longer than tank-based options, making them yet more attractive to budget-conscious homeowners. You also get to reclaim the storage space that was previously taken up by a massive water tank.

Birmingham Plumbing, Heating & Cooling: Your Hot Water Experts

Whether you have a massive hot water tank serving a commercial property or a tankless system hidden behind a panel in your tiny house build, Birmingham Plumbing, Heating & Cooling has the expertise and tools to make sure hot water is available when you need it. Our water heater services include:

  • Routine inspection and annual maintenance for both tankless and tank-based systems

What causes fluctuating water temperatures?
Sometimes, when you look into uneven hot water, you discover that the control components are not responding consistently. The problem may lie in the thermostat or the hot-water-heating component, or it may be failing to respond, even if it appears to be working. Once you identify the source of the trouble, it is not difficult to correct it. Then everyone gets the hot water he needs!
If hot water appears discolored, we ask about the condition of the inside of the system. Rust coloring can indicate that components inside the tank are deteriorating. Assessing the system can determine whether repair or replacement is a better option.
Inside the tank, there is an anode rod that acts as a sacrificial element to protect the tank lining from corrosion. It draws around corrosive elements to protect the lining from wear. During a service, we’ll inspect its condition.
When you’re ready for a new water heater unit, our team will dive into how you use hot water in your home. We take into account all your daily routines, the number of fixtures you have installed within the home, and how often you run them simultaneously. That way, we can recommend a system that fits what you actually need.
Unpleasant smells sometimes indicate your hot water heater has developed conditions that are not allowing the unit to work to its full potential. This is usually related to water quality and buildup over time. We’ll assess the cause in order to allow you to enjoy clean, neutral-smelling water.
Tankless systems work well in homes with high hot-water usage when properly installed. Instead of heating water in a standard water heater tub or tank, they create it instantly. Our team will review your usage habits during installation to ensure the tankless system can keep up with multiple uses.
