Navien Tankless on-Demand Gas Water Heaters

If your hot water demand doesn't exceed running a shower, washing dishes, and doing laundry, a tankless water heater will deliver all the hot water you need. On-demand water heaters heat only water being used, not continually heating and reheating the water as with conventional water heaters. Now you pay for only what you use and stop paying for what you don't.

SuperStor Ultra Indirect Water Heaters

The SuperStor Ultra has an ultra-high-output exchanger engineered to accept a higher volume of heated boiler water with minimal pressure drop, which increases the Ultra's capability to produce large amounts of hot water.

The SuperStor Ultra is tied into your existing or new boiler as a separate zone with a circulator or zone valve. It will start your boiler only when the Ultra requires hot water. The SuperStor Ultra will reduce your operating cost to produce hot water.

The SuperStor Ultra's Limited Lifetime Protection Plan will give you peace of mind that your water heater is covered by the industry's strongest warranty. http://www.htproducts.com/superstor-ultra-waterheater.html

5 Signs You Require a Water Heater Replacement

Your water heater is an essential part of your home, providing hot water for bathing, cooking, and cleaning. Like any other appliance, it doesn’t last forever. Knowing when it’s time to replace your water heater can save you from costly repairs, unexpected cold showers, and potential water damage to your home. Here are the top signs that indicate it might be time to replace your water heater.

1. Age of the Water Heater

Water heaters generally last 8–12 years depending on the model and maintenance. If yours is approaching or has surpassed this lifespan, it’s time to start planning for a replacement. Older units are more likely to fail and replacing them proactively can save you from sudden breakdowns.

2. Rusty Water

Rusty water coming from your faucets when using hot water can be caused by corrosion inside your water heater tank. This is a strong indication that your unit is nearing the end of its life. While replacing the anode rod might extend its lifespan temporarily, this is usually a sign it’s time to upgrade.

3. Unusual Noises

Over time, sediment builds up at the bottom of the tank. If you start hearing rumbling, banging, or popping sounds, the sediment has likely hardened, making your water heater less efficient and potentially damaging the unit. Persistent noises often mean it’s time to consider a replacement.

4. Leaks Around the Unit

Any sign of water pooling around the base of your water heater is a clear sign of trouble. Leaks usually indicate fractures inside the tank due to repeated heating and cooling over the years. If left unaddressed, it can lead to significant water damage in your home.

5. Water Isn’t Getting Hot Enough

If your water takes longer than usual to heat up or isn’t reaching a consistent temperature, it could signal failing components. While small issues can sometimes be repaired, recurring problems often point to a water heater that’s nearing the end of its usefulness.
