Water Heater Replacement & Install Services in Jacksonville & Other Areas of Florida

Water Heater Components

Tank

Both gas and electric water heaters include a tank that is designed to hold warm water. Depending on the size of your family, you may choose to purchase a 40 or 60 gallon water heater for your house. Most types of tanks are designed to handle pressure as high as 300 psi. The tanks on residential water heaters are insulated to help maintain the temperature of the water. If you notice a leak at the bottom of your tank, give us a call by phone at 904-217-5694‬ to receive help with an electric or gas water heater installation.

Pressure Relief Valve

A pressure relief valve is designed to release excess pressure from the tank of a water heater when it becomes too high. This valve is located at the top of the tank. If the pressure relief valve begins to malfunction, your water heater may burst. To avoid damage to your house, we recommend scheduling a water heater replacement or maintenance appointment with our staff if you notice noises or leaks.

Drain Valve

Gas and electric water heaters include a drain valve that is located near the bottom of the water tank. This valve can be easily opened or closed to perform repairs such as draining minerals or replacing malfunctioning heating elements.

Heat-Out Pipe

The heat-out or outflow pipe is in charge of pushing hot water out of the tank and into your water lines. This pipe is smaller when compared to the dip tube connected to your water heater. If you’re not receiving warm water throughout your house, there may be an issue with your outflow pipe. Fenwick Home Services offers trustworthy gas and electric water heater installation, and replacement services in Jacksonville and the surrounding areas of Florida.

Dip Tube

The dip tube is engineered to provide the water heater with cold water from your supply lines. A water shutoff valve is embedded on the dip tube that allows you to prevent additional water from being pushed into the tank.

Thermostat

Electric and gas water heaters include a thermostat that allows you to control the temperature of water inside the tank. While most water heaters include a maximum temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit, we recommend setting it to a temperature of 120 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit to avoid injuries. The thermostat is a dial that is usually embedded under a cover plate on the system.
