Water Heaters
Why Having the Right Water Heater Matters
Your hot water heater is easily one of the heaviest-lifters in your plumbing system, running daily and contributing to nearly 25% of your home’s energy usage. It is essential to make sure your water heater is the right type and size for your family. Having a water heater that doesn’t match your needs could be inflating your power bill and leaving you without hot water when you want and need it most. If you have hard water or an older system, your hot water heater may also be in need of replacement from years of wear and tear. Contact Keemer Plumbing today to see if your home would benefit from a new water heater!
Common Water Heater Problems
Hot water heaters, especially older models, need to be replaced periodically. Sediment build up, hardware damage, and long-term wear and tear on your water heater can deteriorate your system. If you experience any of the following, it may be time for a new hot water heater:
- Rust or corrosion on the tank or connections
- Leaks or pooling at heater base
- Loss of hot water
- Popping, rumbling, or banging noises during unit operation
- Unexplained higher energy bills
- You have a unit older than 10 years
Older or poorly functioning water heaters not only provide poor water quality, they can also be dangerous. Making sure your water heater is up to code is essential for protecting your home and family from a potential plumbing disaster.

Water Heater Types
We install water heaters with options to fit your usage and family size. Most water heaters fall into one of the categories below:
- Gas Tanked
- Electric Tanked
- Tankless Gas
- Tankless Electric
Gas Tanked
Gas tanked water heaters are the predominant type installed in homes across the United States. In the past, gas water heaters were the most dependable, affordable, and easiest to replace. With options for natural gas and propane, a gas tanked water heater can provide your home with reliable hot water.
Features of Gas Tanked Water Heaters
- Require Access to Natural Gas or Propane
- Quick Recovery Time
- Good for Households with High Hot Water Demand
- Lower Operating Costs vs. Electric
- Reliability
- Require Access to Ventilation
Electric Tanked
Electric Tanked water heaters are a popular option for homeowners without ready access to a gas source or have limited space. This type of water heater is best suited for homes that require custom solutions to their hot water needs.
Features of Electric Tanked Water Heaters
- Affordable up-front costs
- No air intake or vents
- Quieter operation
- No access to gas required
- Higher energy costs
Tankless Gas
Tankless Gas water heaters combine the same ready-to-use hot water and efficiency you get from a tanked gas water heater with the space-saving reliability of an electric tanked heater. Using less gas than a traditional tanked gas water heater, tankless units offer hot water on-demand while saving you on energy and gas bills by only producing hot water when you need it.
Features of Tankless Gas Water Heaters
- Hot water when you need it
- Uses less energy
- Great for high demand households
- Longer lifespan vs tanked heaters
- Require access to gas lines and ventilation
Tankless Electric
Are you looking for the convenience and benefits of a tankless water heater, but don’t have access to a gas line? Do you need a water heater installed in a tight space or one without access to ventilation? Electric tankless water heaters offer the same benefits as tankless gas heaters and conveniently fit almost any space. More energy efficient than a tanked unit, tankless electric water heaters are a great solution for homeowners looking for hot water on-demand.
Features of Tankless Electric Water Heaters
- No gas line or vent access required
- Hot water on-demand
- Easy to install
- More energy efficient vs tanked units
- Minimal risk of leaks or flooding
- Quiet operation

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US
Very knowledgeable and knows his stuff would recommend him to anyone thank you so much again
Mario
Excellent communication and repiping process by Jon and the Keemer Plumbing team. We had a full re-pipe due to Poly B and they were able to complete the full repipe within the timeframe presented. They were very clear about pricing, possible upgrades, critical details and potential issues throughout the process. In addition, every referall they gave for electrical and drywall finishing work has also been excellent to work with.
We had a minor concern (unrelated to the repiping process other than perhaps the entire system was much more efficient than the prior, so we were not used to it) and Patrick, the president of the company, personally came out to verify everything was running correctly, which, to me, says a lot about their commitment to their clients and upholding quality of services.
I absolutely recommend them for any plumbing needs.
Justin Watson

Keemer Plumbing has restored my faith in plumbers. After 4 years and three different properties of dealing with plumbers, I had no trust in any plumbers whatsoever until Keemer Plumbers who just repiped our very old house which had issues and did a fantastic job in record time! John and his team were very respectful, very knowledgeable ,responsive, but most of all Honest about what had to happen in our home. I cannot say enough about this company. Thank you so much for a great job! Melissa and Shirl
Melissa Burgess
They came in looked at the areas they would be working in, layed down covers to walk on while going in and out, went over what they were going to do. Answered any question we asked, and they stayed on task. We are very impressed. And we will recommend them to our family and friends.

Keemer Plumbing did a repipe on our 1950’s home among other things. We shopped around quite a bit and so glad we decided to go with this business. Super professional team, great quality work, always responsive, on time. It was a big project and they did a fantastic job overall.
Updating to reflect their most recent work. We discovered a gas leak, Keemer came out to fix their mistake. They had to cut some dry wall but said someone would contact us in the next few days. Over a week has passed no one has reached out and when w reached out
They didn’t have a record..
