Choosing the Right Water Heater for Your Conway Home
The first step in any installation is selecting a water heater that matches your household’s demands, budget, and energy efficiency goals. We have extensive experience installing all major types and brands.
Traditional Tank Water Heaters: These are the most common type of water heater found in Conway homes. A large, insulated tank holds and continuously heats a reserve of water.
- Pros: Lower initial installation cost, straightforward technology, and readily available replacement parts.
- Best For: Households with predictable hot water usage patterns and those looking for a cost-effective upfront solution. We install both gas and electric models, ensuring a perfect fit for your home's existing utility connections.
Tankless Water Heaters: Also known as on-demand water heaters, these units heat water instantly as it flows through them, eliminating the need for a storage tank.
- Pros: Uninterrupted supply of hot water, significant long-term energy savings, longer lifespan (often 20+ years), and a compact, space-saving design.
- Best For: Larger families, homes with high hot water demand, and homeowners focused on maximizing energy efficiency and long-term value.
Hybrid (Heat Pump) Water Heaters: These innovative units combine a traditional tank with a heat pump that pulls warmth from the surrounding air to heat the water.
- Pros: The most energy-efficient option available, leading to substantial savings on your electric bill.
- Best For: Homeowners prioritizing maximum efficiency and a reduced environmental footprint, typically installed in garages, basements, or utility closets with adequate airflow.
Why Proper Sizing is Non-Negotiable
Installing a water heater that is too small for your needs will result in frustratingly cold showers and a constant struggle for hot water. Conversely, a unit that is too large will waste energy by heating water you don’t use, leading to higher utility bills.
Our professional assessment goes beyond simple guesswork. We carefully analyze several key factors to recommend the perfect size for your home:
- Household Size: The number of people living in your home.
- Peak Hot Water Demand: We consider the maximum amount of hot water you might use at one time (e.g., running a shower, dishwasher, and washing machine simultaneously).
- Appliance Usage: The types and efficiency of your faucets, showerheads, and appliances.
- Future Needs: Any planned additions to your family or home that might increase future demand.
For tank models, we calculate the ideal tank capacity and First Hour Rating (FHR). For tankless models, we determine the required Gallons Per Minute (GPM) flow rate to ensure your system can keep up, even during peak usage.
Our Detailed Water Heater Installation Process
We believe in transparency and keeping you informed every step of the way. When you choose us for your installation in Conway, here’s what you can expect:

We make all necessary plumbing, electrical, or gas line connections, adhering to the highest industry standards and local Conway building codes. This includes installing new supply lines, valves, and proper venting for gas models.

- System Testing and Final Walkthrough: Once the installation is complete, we fill and test the system to ensure it operates perfectly and there are no leaks. We’ll show you how your new unit works, explain any maintenance recommendations, and answer all your questions.
- Thorough Cleanup: We respect your home and will leave the work area cleaner than we found it, ensuring no debris or old parts are left behind.
The Dangers of DIY vs. The Security of Professional Installation
While a DIY installation might seem like a way to save money, it often leads to costly repairs, property damage, and serious safety hazards. Improperly installed water heaters can result in gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, electrical fires, and significant water damage.
