Selecting the Ideal Water Heater for Your Home

Choosing a new water heater is a significant decision. The right choice can lead to years of energy savings and consistent performance, while the wrong one can result in high utility bills and inadequate hot water supply. Our process begins with a thorough assessment of your specific requirements. We consider factors like your family's size, daily hot water consumption patterns, available space, and existing energy sources (gas or electric) to recommend the best fit for your Westchase residence.

We specialize in the installation of a wide range of modern water heating systems:

Traditional Tank Water Heaters: The most common type of water heater, these units store and continuously heat a reserve of water in an insulated tank. They are known for their lower upfront cost and straightforward operation. We install both high-efficiency gas and electric models, ensuring you have a reliable source of hot water ready when you need it.

Tankless (On-Demand) Water Heaters: For homeowners focused on energy efficiency and space savings, tankless water heaters are an excellent choice. These units heat water instantly as it flows through the system, eliminating the standby energy loss associated with traditional tanks. This results in an endless supply of hot water and can significantly reduce monthly energy bills. We install both gas and electric tankless models from leading manufacturers.

Hybrid (Heat Pump) Water Heaters: Combining the technology of a standard electric tank heater with an energy-saving heat pump, hybrid models are among the most efficient options available. They pull heat from the surrounding air and transfer it to the water in the tank. While the initial investment is higher, the long-term energy savings are substantial, making them a smart choice for many Florida homeowners.

Our Meticulous Water Heater Installation Process

A flawless installation is the foundation of a long-lasting and efficient water heater. We have refined our process to be seamless, transparent, and respectful of your home, ensuring every step is handled with professional care.

1. In-Depth Consultation and Sizing: We start by discussing your needs and evaluating your property. Our technicians perform precise calculations to determine the correct size and capacity for your new water heater, ensuring it can meet your household's peak demand without wasting energy.

2. Safe Removal of the Old Unit: If you are replacing an existing water heater, our team will safely disconnect and drain the old unit. We handle the removal from your property, adhering to all environmental regulations for proper disposal and recycling.

3. Precision Installation and Connections: This is where our expertise shines. We professionally install the new unit, ensuring it is level and secure. All plumbing connections are made using high-quality materials to prevent leaks. For gas models, we ensure gas lines are connected securely and venting is installed according to strict safety codes. For electric models, we verify all wiring and electrical connections are safe and up to code.

4. Thorough Testing and Safety Verification: Once the installation is complete, we don’t just walk away. We fill the system, power it on, and conduct a comprehensive series of tests. We check for proper operation, verify water temperature settings, and perform rigorous leak and safety checks on all connections and components.

5. Final Walkthrough and Cleanup: We believe in leaving your home as clean as we found it. Our team will clean the entire work area. We then provide you with a detailed walkthrough of your new system, explaining its operation, features, and any recommended maintenance to ensure you are comfortable and confident with your new water heater.

The Critical Benefits of a Professional Installation

Attempting a DIY water heater installation or choosing an inexperienced handyman can lead to significant risks, including property damage, poor performance, and safety hazards. Trusting a professional provides invaluable benefits.

  • Uncompromised Safety: Water heaters involve a combination of water, high pressure, and either high-voltage electricity or a combustible gas line. Our licensed technicians are trained to handle these elements safely, eliminating the risk of gas leaks, carbon monoxide exposure, or improper electrical connections.
  • Maximized Energy Efficiency: A properly sized and installed water heater operates at its peak efficiency. We ensure all settings are optimized and that there are no leaks or installation flaws that could waste energy and increase your utility bills.
  • Compliance with Local Codes: Water heater installations in Westchase and Hillsborough County are subject to specific building codes and permit requirements. We are well-versed in these regulations and ensure your installation is fully compliant, protecting you from potential fines and issues down the line.
  • Protection of Manufacturer Warranty: Most manufacturers require installation by a licensed professional for the warranty to be valid. Our professional service ensures your investment is protected.
  • Long-Term Performance and Durability: A professional installation prevents premature wear and tear on components, leading to fewer repairs and a longer lifespan for your new water heater.

Customer Reviews

We recently moved to Florida and needed major repairs to our church. After researching several companies, I went with Sunstate and I’m so thankful I did. Joe came out and provided us with the information necessary to make an informed decision and provided a reasonable estimate. We had a new unit installed, duct work repaired, and new thermostat installed. If you’re reading this review and wondering who to trust for your AC needs, please call Sunstate.

Great job replacing both the condensing unit and air-handler.  Moved the air-handler from the attic to the garage and re-designed and installed new duct work to accommodate the move.  Works great and no more worries about overflowing drain pan damaging the ceiling and wood floors.  Not to mention making it easier to maintain the AH unit.  The guys worked through the night to make sure the AC was back on before they left the job.   Thanks for a job well done.

Sunstate mechanical is truly the best contractors I have experienced since I moved into my house 30 years ago.  I have been dealing with Joe and his crew for over 11 years now. They are a trustworthy, respectful, experienced crew who works with you and gives you a fair value.  They just completed a big job replacing my A/C, gas furnance and condenser.  They did an excellent job, no short cuts, made sure everything was functional, and cleaned up the area nicely before they left.

Sunstate Mechanical are absolutely one of the best.  I have had two new units installed from them, and the work they did was spectacular.  The crew was prompt (even called ahead to confirm the appointment), incredibly professional, and they left the area around the air handler somehow cleaner than when they arrived.  I have had no issues with my units over the years because Sunstate Mechanical took the time to do it right the first time.
