What’s most important is that you have experts to help you with every step of installation or repair. If you need installation, routine maintenance, or repair for your boiler or indirect water heater, you can always give us a call. GRmetro Heating and Cooling Inc offers high-efficiency installations along with fast service when you need it, providing unbeatable customer service along the way.

What Is an Indirect Water Heater?

Indirect water heaters use an existing heating system to provide the hot water you need in the colder months. This makes it more efficient for several months of the year, and during the summer, you’ll spend about the average on water heating. It’s worth it when you consider that water heaters often account for about 17% of your total home energy or fuel usage.

Hot water from a boiler is sent to a coil inside of the tank, using the existing hydronic system in your home that’s already running to heat your water. This saves you from having to run an extra heating system all day long, which can significantly cut down your monthly bills.

Why Should I Choose an Indirect Water Heater in Grand Rapids?

An indirect water heater might not be the right choice for every home, as a conventional tank water heater or a tankless water heater are both fine options. One of the reasons people do choose this option is because they are moving into a new home or upgrading both systems at once. Integrated boiler and water heater systems have a higher upfront cost than individual systems, but the savings are well worth it.

It’s possible that your existing hydronic heating system is already compatible with an indirect water heater. Ask your technician if this is an option for your home.

How to Maintain Your System

Proper installation and routine maintenance are key to the continued performance and efficiency of your hot water and heating systems. You may need to have the tanks flushed from time to time if there is any level of sediment in your water, a common problem that can damage the water heater if left untreated.

Call in our experts each year for routine maintenance for your indirect water heater. We will see to it that your water heater and hydronic heating systems are safe and that you have as low of a chance as possible of a water heater breakdown.
