Time to upgrade to a more reliable water heating system?
Cut your energy costs with a new hot water solution!
Hot water is an essential part of everyday life. From cooking and cleaning to laundry and showers, nearly a third of your home’s energy costs can be tied to heating water. That’s why it's critical to ensure that your Middlesex County home’s water heater is running as efficiently as possible. Whether you need routine maintenance, repairs, or an upgrade to an energy-efficient tankless or electric heat pump water heater, Princeton Air is here to help.
Maintaining Your Water Heater
Regular maintenance can extend the life of your water heater and improve energy efficiency. One simple water heater maintenance tip is to drain a gallon of water from your tank every three months to prevent sediment buildup, especially if you have hard water. Princeton Air offers comprehensive water heater check-ups that include:
- Checking the temperature and relief valve for proper operation
- Inspecting gas burners in gas models
- Examining heating elements in electric tanks
- Inspecting the anode rod for corrosion

Types of Water Heating Solutions
There are several options available when it comes to heating your home’s water. Many homeowners are familiar with traditional storage tank heaters, but newer technologies can offer greater efficiency and savings:
- High-Efficiency Gas Water Heaters: These systems use the same basic setup as conventional models but with enhanced insulation, heat traps, and more efficient burners to reduce energy costs by about 8%. Some models also include a secondary heat exchanger for even greater efficiency.
- Electric Heat Pump Water Heaters: Heat pump water heaters are up to three times more efficient than traditional gas or electric water heaters. They utilize heat pump technology to extract heat from the surrounding air to warm the water and can be a great option for homes in both warm and cooler climates, thanks to models that switch between heat pumps and conventional electric heating modes.
Tankless vs Traditional Water Heaters
If you're ready to upgrade to a more reliable water heating system, consider a tankless water heater. These units do not utilize hot water storage tanks, are much smaller, and heat water only when it's needed. This on-demand operation eliminates the standby heat loss of traditional tanks. By using a secondary heat exchanger, tankless on-demand water heaters can reduce energy use related to water heating by up to 9%. With the added benefit of continuous hot water and energy savings, tankless water heaters are a popular choice for homeowners looking to reduce their environmental footprint.
