Tankless Water Heaters
In Sherman Oaks, tankless water heaters remain a top choice. Because they don’t store water, there’s no need for a huge tank that takes up space. Your family gets hot water on demand where you use it most; the kitchen sink, the bathroom sink or even in your outdoor kitchen sink! Tankless water heaters in Sherman Oaks save you money, space and conserve precious water. They aren’t ideal for every situation, so contact us today for an honest evaluation and professional advice.
Gas Water Heaters
When choosing a gas water heater, Sherman Oaks residents feel safe with Payless Waters Heaters & Plumbing. Gas water heaters remain one of the most popular, due to their efficiency and reliability. They heat water faster than electric, so they cost less to run. There’s usually a higher upfront cost, though, and they require regular maintenance to ensure safety.
Electric Water Heaters
In Sherman Oaks, electric water heaters offer a safer alternative to gas heaters, and the upfront cost is more affordable than their counterpart. One big drawback is that they don’t heat water as efficiently, and their operating cost is heavily influenced by continual rises in electricity costs. They aren’t great for larger households, but if your home or business has no natural gas, electric water heaters are a good choice.
Solar Water Heaters
With over 280 sunny days per year in Sherman Oaks, solar water heaters make good environmental sense. Capturing free sunlight for energy, they also keep utility bills down for owners. Two drawbacks should be known: there’s a higher upfront cost with added installation complexity, including a backup source for operation during cloudy days.
Commercial Water Heaters
Commercial water heaters are made to accommodate the larger needs of commercial properties. Although not limited to any particular industry, commercial water heaters in Sherman Oaks are ideal for businesses like laundromats, medical facilities, restaurants, hotels and more. These types of heaters have a large capacity and come in high-efficiency models that ensure your commercial business runs as it should. Contact Payless for an in-person evaluation of your business’s hot water needs, and we’ll help you choose the best commercial unit.
Traditional Water Heaters
Traditional water heaters store and heat a large tank of water, keeping it ready for use. Benefits include a steady supply of hot water and lower upfront costs. Drawbacks are higher energy usage and limited hot water supply. Compared to instant water heaters, traditional ones are less energy-efficient but more affordable initially.
