FAQs

How often should I flush my tank water heater?

It's recommended to flush your tank water heater at least once a year to remove sediment buildup, which can reduce efficiency and lifespan. In areas with hard water, more frequent flushing might be necessary.

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

Common signs include inconsistent hot water, strange noises such as popping or rumbling, discolored water, and leaks around the heater's base. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to consult a professional plumber.

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

Improving efficiency can be achieved by setting the thermostat to 120°F, insulating the tank and pipes, regularly flushing the tank, and installing heat traps on the water lines. Consider upgrading to an ENERGY STAR® certified model for better energy savings.

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

The size required depends on the number of occupants and your peak water usage. Generally, a 30-40 gallon tank is sufficient for 1-2 people, while a 50-60 gallon tank is suitable for homes with 3-4 people. For larger households, a 75-gallon tank may be necessary.

How long does a tank water heater typically last?

The average lifespan of a tank water heater is about 8-12 years. Regular maintenance, such as annual flushing and timely repairs, can extend its life. It's advisable to start planning for a replacement if your unit is over a decade old.

Are there any special considerations for installing a tank water heater in Bristol?

When installing a tank water heater in Bristol, consider the local climate and water quality. Hard water can cause faster sediment buildup, so regular maintenance is crucial. Additionally, ensure the installation complies with local building codes and regulations.

Terry R.

I had an amazing experience with HEP. They responded to the hot water not working the day that I called, fixed it and also noticed a leak in my hot water heater. They overnighted the part and came back to fix it for me. Dakota and his partner were very professional and friendly. I will definitely be using HEP for any of my plumbing needs.

Kelsey S.

I called Hep to replace my hot water heater and my furnace! When my furnace leaked they came right out and fixed it! Today my air conditioning was freezing up and they sent a repair man out... He cleaned the unit and put some freon in it and it's working great...The price was reasonable too! Much better than them trying to sell me a brand new unit which we cant afford right now!! Very pleased with Doug, the repairman, he was very professional and courteous!
