http://www.deltamechanical.com Water heater replacement is the removal of the existing water heater and installation of a new unit. Delta Mechanical provides a full array of replacement tanks including natural gas, propane, electric, and solar water heaters (Availability subject to geographical location). We also install gas and electric tankless water heaters nationwide.

Gas water heaters operate via natural gas or propane gas. They utilize a burner to heat up the tank of water to an adjustable temperature, usually no more than 125 degrees. Gas water heaters have a fast recovery rate, meaning that once all the hot water from the tank is depleted, they can quickly heat up a full tank again, allowing the consumer the opportunity to utilize more than one fixture at once (shower, dishwasher, etc.). Gas water heaters produce combustion/exhaust, so they have a vent at the top to channel all spent hot gases away from the unit.

Electric water heaters function by using two thermostats located on the side of the tank to heat up two elements within the tank. These elements get red hot, heating all the water inside. The thermostats are adjustable to 125 degrees in most cases. Electric water heaters do not require a vent, so they can be installed in a wider variety of spaces. They do have a slower recovery rate than gas water heaters. Either system will function in any home and roughly have the same life span. All sizes are available, from small, 10 gallon units to large scale 100 gallon units and many sizes in between.
