How to determine the type of Hot Water Heater You Own

 

Contact E.W. Tompkins Plumbing Heating Cooling for quick installations of quality made hot water heaters.  It takes about 2 hours for the entire installation.  We need to know if you have an electric, natural gas or a propane unit.

On natural gas and propane units we need to determine what type of venting you have on your unit.  Is it a silver chimney that vents out to your furnace ?  This is a “standard vent”. Do you have a black blower on top with some PVC tubing on top.  This is what is called a “Power Vent”.

Now look for the label on the current tank and see how many gallons it is.  Most units are 40 or 50 gallons.

We like to know if the unit is tight in a closet or in a finished cellar or if it is beneath a stair case.  Did you know that water heaters are now taller and wider ?  Take a photo and email it to our office.

Plumbing Issues – Call E.W. Tompkins Plumbing in the Albany area.

Our research indicates that homeowners and tenants call a plumber in the Albany, Troy, and Schenectady areas of upstate New York on average 1x per year.   Many might call more because a number of our homes in the Capital Region are old.

Here is the list that we at E.W. Tompkins Plumbing Heating Cooling schedule regularly. 

1. Dripping Faucets

We let them persist and persist but that costs you money.  Those drips add up to and increased water bill.  And those leaks can ruin floors, cabinets and ceilings. 

2. Leaky Pipes and Burst Pipes

Most pipes leak and burst during he cold months in Albany.  It is not odd to see them in summer also.  Look for wet spots on the ground or on your ceiling or around light fixtures.  Most of the time pipes leak near joints.  So, keep and eye out and call E.W. Tompkins Plumbing as soon as possible.  You do not want to have to replace sheetrock.

3. Running Toilets

Did you know that a running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons per day? That’s a lot of water waste! Sometimes it requires new inside workings in the tank.  Drips cost!  Running toilets cost!  Call E.W. Tompkins Plumbing!

4. Low Water Pressure

A lot of older homes will experience low water pressure, but you may be asking why? We have a lot of older homes in the Albany area.  It could be time for a new shower head or you could have a hidden leak in your home.

5. Leaking Outside Faucet

A leaking outside faucet is very common in the spring and summer. After a long, cold winter in Troy, Schenectady and Albany, many outside faucets that aren’t protected can crack and begin to leak. We advise our customers invest in a frost-proof outside faucet which can reduce the chances of having future leaks.

6. Slow Or Clogged Drains

Drain problems are typically caused by broken pipes, baby wipes, paper towels, tampons and grease.  Our expert technicians warn customers to stay away from any type of over-the-counter drain cleaner! Instead, give us a call to clear the slow or clogged drain.

7. Sump Pump Failure

A prolonged period of heavy rain can cause your sump pump to fail. Take a simple cleaning product like Simple Green and spray and brush and remove dirt and grime so that the pump float switch moves freely.  E.W. Tompkins does sump pump installations.

8. Water Heater

Losing your hot water in the morning and step into the shower to feel cold water on your body — trust us, we know it’s the worst feeling! Most water heaters last about 12 years.  Call E.W. Tompkins Plumbing Heating Cooling for great deals on new electric, natural gas and propane hot water heater installations.
