FAQs

What are the signs that my tank water heater needs repair?

Common signs include inconsistent water temperatures, strange noises, water discoloration, leaks around the unit, and a significant decrease in hot water supply. If you notice any of these issues, it's likely time to call a professional for an inspection.

How often should I flush my tank water heater?

It's generally recommended to flush your tank water heater at least once a year to remove sediment buildup. Sediment can decrease efficiency and lifespan of the unit. If you have hard water, you may need to flush it more frequently.

What is the average lifespan of a tank water heater?

A typical tank water heater lasts about 8 to 12 years. Regular maintenance can help extend its life, but once it reaches the 10-year mark, it's wise to start considering a replacement.

How can I improve the efficiency of my tank water heater?

Improving efficiency can be achieved by insulating the tank and pipes, setting the thermostat to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and performing regular maintenance such as flushing the tank and checking for leaks. Installing a water heater blanket can also help retain heat.

What size tank water heater do I need for my home?

The size of the tank water heater depends on the number of people in your household and your hot water usage habits. For a typical household, a 40-50 gallon tank is sufficient for 3-4 people. Larger families or homes with high water consumption may require a 60-80 gallon tank.

Are there any eco-friendly options for tank water heaters?

Yes, there are more energy-efficient models available, including those with high Energy Factor (EF) ratings. Additionally, hybrid heat pump water heaters use less electricity and can significantly reduce energy bills. Solar water heaters are another eco-friendly option, though they come with higher upfront costs.

Tim was very friendly and helpful. We really appreciated that he came out late in the evening. Our water heater needed to be replaced and we were made a priority because it was below freezing outside.

My 91 year old dad’s water heater was leaking all over the place. HEP came the same day I called. Kyler was friendly, thorough, professional and gave us all our options. He repaired the leak while there and scheduled a new water heater installation 2 days later. We are very pleased!
