Types of Hot Water Heaters in Sacramento
Armstrong Plumbing is your go-to expert for all types of hot water heaters in Sacramento. We work with:
- Indirect water heaters: These systems use your home’s main boiler or furnace to heat water, offering excellent efficiency for homes with existing heating systems.
- Traditional water heaters: Standard tank-style heaters store and heat a reservoir of water, providing reliable hot water for Sacramento homes with moderate usage needs.
- Tankless hot water heaters: These space-saving units heat water on demand, eliminating standby energy loss and providing endless hot water for busy Sacramento households.
- Heat pump water heaters: Using electricity to move heat rather than generate it, these energy-efficient systems are perfect for Sacramento’s climate and can reduce water heating costs.
Each type has its advantages and challenges, and our experienced technicians are here to help you decide which one best fits your home’s needs.

Most people set their water heater to 120°F. That way, the water is still hot when it reaches the furthest parts of their plumbing system, but it also is not so hot that it is likely to cause burns. In Sacramento’s climate, this temperature provides the perfect balance between comfort and safety while optimizing your system’s energy efficiency.
It’s possible for water heaters to explode, but it’s very, very rare. This can happen with both gas and electric heaters and is more likely when the heater is not well maintained. If you’re worried about this, we can test your water heater and let you know your risk. Our Sacramento technicians can also install safety features like expansion tanks and pressure relief valves to prevent dangerous pressure buildup.
Turn on the circuit breaker for the water heater, and/or the gas line that feeds it. Make sure there is a flow of water into the heater and that the pilot light is working. There may be a switch you need to turn or a button you need to press to turn on the heater, depending on the make and model of your unit. If you’re unsure about this process in your Sacramento home, our technicians can provide guidance or handle it for you.
There is no single best type of hot water heater. The one that’s right for you depends on the way your system is set up, your usage patterns, and more. Our team can help you find the best water heater for your specific needs. In Sacramento homes, we consider factors like family size, peak usage times, and energy efficiency goals to recommend the perfect system for your household.
In Sacramento’s water conditions, traditional tank water heaters typically last 8-12 years with proper maintenance, while tankless systems can last up to 20 years. Factors affecting lifespan include water quality, usage patterns, and regular maintenance. Armstrong Plumbing can help extend your water heater’s life with annual maintenance services designed specifically for Sacramento’s unique water conditions.
Your Sacramento water heater should be flushed annually to remove sediment buildup, which is especially important in areas with hard water. The anode rod should be checked every 2-3 years and replaced if corroded. Other maintenance includes checking pressure relief valves, inspecting for leaks, and testing the thermostat. Armstrong Plumbing offers comprehensive maintenance plans that include all these services plus priority scheduling for Sacramento homeowners.
