Commonly Asked Questions
Do You Need a New Water Heater?
Water heaters are difficult to diagnose and often times even small problems aren’t worth the hassle or cost to repair. So, unless your water heater is less than 10 years old, it may often make sense to replace the entire water heater outright. When it comes to replacing a water heater, Morris Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning can make sure your replacement is done right. Our Essex County plumbers will recommend the best replacement based on your needs, provide quick and neat installation of your new water heater, and properly dispose of your old system.
We can replace your old water heater if:
- Your water heater is an older model and you would like to upgrade to a more efficient version
- Your water heater has sprung a leak
- Your water heater has an exhaust issue
- Your burner refuses to light

- Your electric or gas bills have increased inexplicably

Using a Boiler as a Water Heater
Do you use a boiler to heat your Essex County home? Boilers are popular choices throughout the East Coast due to their low cost of operation, outstanding heat output, and their ability to double as a source of hot water for your home. By combining the functions of your boiler and your water heater into the same unit, you’ll save on utility costs, gain added flexibility, and also gain added longevity for your hot water supply.
Indirect Water Heaters vs. Heat Pumps
An indirect water heater is not as energy efficient as traditional or tankless water heaters because it relies on an exterior boiler or furnace to provide the necessary heat, but it is ideal for homes that already have these units installed.
Heat pumps, on the other hand, can be incredibly energy efficient because they use electricity to move heat from one place to another rather than generating the heat itself.
Why Regular Maintenance is Key for Your Water Heater
Just like any other appliance in your home, your water heater requires regular maintenance to operate efficiently and effectively. By scheduling routine inspections and maintenance with Morris Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, you can extend the lifespan of your unit and avoid unexpected breakdowns.
Here are some compelling reasons to prioritize maintenance for your water heater:
- Improved Efficiency: Regular maintenance helps keep your water heater running at peak efficiency, which can lower your energy bills.
- Prevent Costly Repairs: Addressing minor issues during maintenance can prevent them from escalating into major, expensive repairs.
- Safety Assurance: Regular checks can identify potential safety hazards, ensuring that your home remains a safe environment for you and your family.
- Consistent Hot Water Supply: Maintenance ensures that your water heater can consistently provide hot water, avoiding those inconvenient cold showers.
- Increased Lifespan: A well-maintained water heater can last significantly longer than one that is neglected, providing you with better value over time.
Don’t wait for a problem to arise! Contact our team at Morris Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning today to schedule your water heater maintenance and ensure your system is running smoothly.
Traditional Water Heaters vs. Tankless Water Heaters
A traditional water heater is what most of us imagine when we think of a water heater. Using a large tank to store and heat your home’s water, this style is ideal for larger homes as it can store up to 60 gallons of hot water at a time, and it also demands more space for installation.
Tankless water heaters, also called on-demand water heaters, heat the water as it passes through the system, making it more energy- and space-efficient. Morris Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning can help you determine the best choice for your home based on your needs and your budget.
