Water Heater Replacement & Installation in Milwaukee

Having no hot water can be frustrating, especially when you're in the middle of a shower or trying to wash dishes. Lack of hot water is usually a sign that your water heater may be outdated or malfunctioning. In most cases, a simple water heater repair is enough to get the system running again. However, in some situations, it's much easier to upgrade to a new, efficient hot water heater.

A new water heater installation can quickly resolve your cold water or warm water issues and provide a consistent hot water supply for your home. With a professional installation, you get a system that meets your household’s needs while improving energy efficiency. Whether your current unit is too old, too small, or simply unreliable, we’re here to help.

Call Burkhardt Heating & Cooling at (414) 310-6979 today to schedule an installation and enjoy hot water when you need it most!

What You Need to Know About Installing a New Water Heater

  • Energy efficiency: Opt for energy-efficient models to minimize utility bills and reduce environmental impact, such as Energy Star-rated units. These models save you money in the long run and contribute to a more sustainable future by using less energy. Consider additional features, such as programmable thermostats and vacation settings, that further enhance efficiency. We can help you choose the best option for your needs and budget.
  • Type of water heater: Choose between tankless or tank-style water heaters based on your usage, space availability, and long-term efficiency goals. Tankless heaters provide hot water on demand and can save space, while traditional tank models store hot water for immediate use.
  • Proper sizing: Ensure the water heater capacity matches your demand to avoid running out of hot water or wasting energy. Calculating your peak hour demand, the maximum hot water you’ll use in an hour, is essential for selecting a unit that meets your needs without oversizing. Our technicians can help determine the correct size based on household size, usage patterns, and local temperature variations.
  • Location considerations: The installation site is vital for accessibility, maintenance, and compliance with safety regulations. Select a location that offers easy access for repairs and inspections, while also considering ventilation and proximity to water and power sources. Additionally, ensure that the area meets local code requirements to avoid future complications.

With these key factors in mind, our team at Burkhardt Heating & Cooling is well-equipped to guide you through the installation process.
