Reliable Hot Water for Your Home

Hayes Heating and Cooling installs and repairs tank and tankless water heaters in Puyallup, Washington.

When your water heater takes longer to recover after a shower, makes rumbling noises, or leaks from the base, it is usually time to consider repair or replacement. Homes in Puyallup often have tank water heaters installed in garages or utility closets, and these units typically last ten to twelve years before internal corrosion or sediment buildup affects performance. Tankless water heaters are becoming more common in remodels and new construction because they heat water on demand and take up less space than traditional tanks.

Hayes Heating and Cooling installs and repairs both tank and tankless water heaters, working with trusted brands including Noritz, Rinnai, Navien, and Bosch. The service helps homeowners choose systems based on household size, daily hot water usage, and energy efficiency goals. Gas and high-efficiency units are installed with attention to venting requirements and fuel line connections. Whether you need a new water heater or repairs to an existing system, Hayes Heating and Cooling supports consistent hot water for homes and businesses in Puyallup.

Request water heater service from Hayes Heating and Cooling to discuss installation, repairs, or system replacement based on your current setup and hot water needs.

Installation Considers Usage Patterns and Fuel Type

Installation begins by removing your old water heater and preparing the space for the new unit, which includes checking gas lines, water connections, and venting if you are switching from electric to gas or upgrading to a tankless model. Hayes Heating and Cooling measures your home hot water demand by counting fixtures, appliances, and the number of people in your household. In Puyallup, natural gas is commonly available, which makes gas-powered tankless units a practical choice for homes with higher hot water needs.

After installation, you will notice faster hot water delivery if you chose a tankless system, or longer periods of uninterrupted hot water if you upgraded to a larger tank. High-efficiency models reduce standby heat loss, which lowers energy use compared to older water heaters that constantly maintain tank temperature even when no hot water is being used.

Tank water heaters are positioned on drain pans with overflow protection, and tankless units are mounted on walls with proper clearance for airflow and service access. Gas connections are pressure-tested and venting systems are inspected to confirm safe operation. Repairs typically involve replacing heating elements, thermostats, pressure relief valves, or addressing sediment buildup that reduces efficiency. The service does not include plumbing modifications outside the immediate area where the water heater is installed.

You Probably Have a Few Questions

Homeowners in Puyallup often want to know whether a tankless water heater makes sense for their home, how long installation takes, and what the difference is between repair and replacement.

What is the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?
A tank water heater stores hot water in a reservoir and keeps it heated until you use it. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through the system, which means you never run out of hot water but the upfront cost is higher.
How do I know if my water heater needs to be replaced?
If your water heater is more than ten years old, leaks from the tank, or no longer provides enough hot water for your household, replacement is usually more practical than repair. Hayes Heating and Cooling can inspect your current unit and recommend the best option.
How long does water heater installation take?
Most installations are completed in three to five hours depending on whether you are replacing a tank with another tank or switching to a tankless model. Gas line modifications or venting changes may add time to the schedule.
What brands of water heaters does Hayes Heating and Cooling install?
Hayes Heating and Cooling works with Noritz, Rinnai, Navien, and Bosch, all of which are known for reliability and efficiency. The specific brand and model depend on your hot water needs, fuel type, and budget.
Why would I choose a high-efficiency water heater?
High-efficiency models use less energy to heat the same amount of water, which reduces your utility costs over time. They are especially valuable in homes with high hot water demand or where the water heater runs frequently throughout the day.
