Did you know water heaters typically account for 17 percent of the average Kernersville homeowner’s energy use?
Choosing the right water heater and taking good care of it goes a long way toward adding comfort and value to your home. And it can also help lower your utility bills.
Water heaters come in various shapes, sizes, and designs to accommodate different homes and needs. Our team at Sutton Brothers wants to help you find the water heater that perfectly fits your household.
In recent years, water heaters have become much more efficient, thanks to growing consumer awareness. Many North Carolina homeowners are switching to energy-saving models. While some of these heaters cost more up front, they save money in the long run and are easier on the environment.
Traditional Storage Water Heaters
Traditional storage tank water heaters are the most affordable and popular tanks on the market. They resemble a large metal barrel. The water enters through the main water supply pipe. The tank then heats the water and keeps it at the desired temperature, using energy such as natural gas, propane, oil, or electricity.
Storage water heaters typically last 10 to 15 years. The tank can hold 20 to 80 gallons of water at a time. Insulated models keep the water hot for longer periods, helping you save on utilities. These systems are reliable, affordable, and relatively easy to install.
Tankless Water Heaters
Want a more sustainable solution? A tankless water heater may be more fitting to your Kernersville home’s needs. It works differently than a traditional storage water heater.
Rather than keeping heated water stored, a tankless water heater heats cold water on demand—whenever you turn on a faucet. No more waiting for your water to heat up.
Without the need to store gallons of water, there’s no tank, making the tankless heater much more compact. This provides you more flexibility when it comes to installation in your North Carolina home. Our Sutton Brothers team also offers options for both indoor and outdoor models.
With this type of on-demand process, the energy efficiency is high. You are only using energy to heat the water precisely when you need it, so this keeps your energy costs low by conserving water. You will more than make up the initial cost of your tankless model in energy savings over the long haul.

Water Heater Maintenance
Did you know yearly maintenance is an important part of maintaining your water heater? Let our team take care of all your maintenance needs. We can catch issues early to prevent costly repairs in the future.
Regular professional maintenance can help with the following:
- Water tanks are vulnerable to corrosion over time. Your anode rod, which protects your tank from corrosion, needs to be checked and replaced.
- The tank needs to be drained and flushed once a year to remove buildup. Sediment buildup can damage your tank over years.
- Mechanical components, like the pilot light, are vulnerable to problems over time and need to be cleaned and checked to prevent unexpected, costly repairs or replacements.
To help save money on your professional maintenance, talk to us about our preventative maintenance program, Savings Club. Your water heater is covered along with your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. A membership gives you maintenance reminders, priority service, discounts, and more.

“Just a quick correction of the review I submitted. I got Chris Craig's last name and first reversed, and used the last name in the review. Silly mistake.”
“The visit went very well. We appreciated the quick response to our water heater problem, with Craig coming the same day we called for an appointment. He diagnosed the problem quickly and showed me exactly what to do if it occurred again. He also provided me with information on the cost if the problem became worse. Especially appreciated in my case was his understanding of my hearing disability. He adjusted his speech to make sure I received all the necessary information.”
“The two men did a fine job. They were professional, knowledgeable and tidy. I will consider SB again for my home repair needs.”
“Christian and Camron offered superb client service during the water heater replacement. Chris also was great to work with during the estimate phase. Great team overall!”
“Very professional and took the time to answer all our questions”
“Great service. Have used multiple times. They’re my go to plumbers.”
“Cody was very friendly and professional.”
“I have used Sutton Brothers in the past for HVAC needs and have never been disappointed so I knew when my hot water heater started leaking they were the place to call. They had someone out to do an estimate quickly and made accommodations for an early morning installation to get me taken care of. Chris and his crew did an outstanding job removing the leaking water heater, installing the new one, and ensuring the area was clean prior to leaving. Would recommend and will definitely use in the future.”
“Just a great team effort by Mike, Kris and Christian with the installation of our new 50 gallon water heater (enclosed in a new outdoor hut)! All three were very professional, courteous and efficient with this project! Sutton Brothers is a very good company to do business with! We highly recommend this company for water heater replacement.”
