FAQs

How long does a tank water heater typically last?

A tank water heater generally lasts between 8 to 12 years. However, the lifespan can vary depending on factors such as water quality, maintenance frequency, and model type. Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend the life of your water heater.

What maintenance is required for a tank water heater?

Routine maintenance for a tank water heater includes flushing the tank annually to remove sediment buildup, checking the anode rod every 2-3 years and replacing it if it's heavily corroded, and inspecting the temperature and pressure relief valve to ensure it functions properly. Regular maintenance helps improve efficiency and extends the lifespan of the heater.

How can I tell if my tank water heater needs to be replaced?

Signs that your tank water heater may need to be replaced include visible rust and corrosion, strange noises like rumbling or banging, inconsistent or insufficient hot water, water leakage around the tank, and when it’s approaching or exceeding its typical lifespan of 8-12 years. If you notice any of these signs, it's advisable to consult a professional plumber.

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

The size of the tank water heater you need depends on the number of people in your household and your hot water usage habits. A typical guide is 30-40 gallons for 1-2 people, 40-50 gallons for 2-3 people, 50-60 gallons for 3-4 people, and 60-80 gallons for 5 or more people. Consulting with a professional plumber can help determine the most appropriate size for your needs.

Are there benefits to upgrading to a high-efficiency tank water heater?

Yes, upgrading to a high-efficiency tank water heater can offer several benefits, including reduced energy bills due to better insulation and more efficient heating elements, and often rebates or tax incentives from utility companies or government programs. High-efficiency units also tend to have a longer lifespan and can provide more consistent hot water supply.

Can a tank water heater be converted to a tankless system?

Yes, a tank water heater can be converted to a tankless system, but it requires professional installation and often additional modifications to your home's plumbing and electrical systems. Tankless water heaters offer benefits such as endless hot water supply, more space, and improved energy efficiency. However, they typically have a higher upfront cost compared to traditional tank systems.

What our customers say

Our hot water heater's relief valve was leaking. Called HEP, they had Nathan here quickly. Fixed the relief valve, and he also determined that we had a bad pressure relief valve in our crawl space, which was causing other plumbing issues. Got everything working again quickly. Thanks!

David L.

I took advantage of HEP's free offer to drain my hot water heater and do a plumbing inspection. Even though the drain valve on the heater was broken, Marco managed to find a way to complete the job. He offered suggestions for improvements and gave me estimates but did not pressure me to agree to any work. He was polite, professional and helpful.

Brady came out introduced himself and told us what he was here to do. As he started his work, draining the hot water heater he called me over to tell me that we have a small leak. He told me that the water heater would rupture in the future and should be replaced before this happened. We agreed about that and then we talked about a replacement . He explained my options and because they don’t make s 65 gal hot water heater anymore we went with a 50gal. He said it would be less hot water and made sure we were ok with that before he quoted us a price. Once he checked our water pressure (160lbs) in three different places, he found out we needed a new pressure valve. We agreed and he wrote up the contract. Brady is a great person to deal with, very knowledgeable and concerned about our satisfaction.

Had a water leak around my hot water heater in the garage with wet sheetrock and water on the floor. Called on Saturday afternoon and Nathan arrived within an hour. He isolated the pinhole leak in the copper pipe by the shutoff valve which wasnspraying water all over the wall and ceiling. He had the pipe cut out and valve back in place within 45 minutes. Everyone from the answering service, the plumbing dispatcher and Nathan were very professional. Will use them again.

Andrew F.

Matt came today to flush out my water heater. He explained the process and why it was necessary. He was efficient, polite, and helpful. He was also great with my pets!

Sarah B.

Ernest was super professional and more than helpful with a water heater quote. Highly, highly recommend him for any plumbing needs you may have.

Austin F.

Todd & Matt went above and beyond our expectations. Our water heater broke. They were here within the hour. They had to move a lot of furniture out of the way to even get to the water heater as I was home alone and having just had surgery, could not be of any help. They worked late hours until the job was complete. Nice guys too! I recommend them and will use them again myself in the future.

Todd Farner arrived early today and immediately diagnosed the problem with my water heater. It was fixed in less than 5 minutes. Excellent job. Thank you sir.

Booked on Sunday for Monday. Jeremiah called to let us know he was on his way and arrived when he said he would. He assessed the issue (clogged drains) and performed a preventative maintenance inspection, noting our water heater was also leaking a little and pretty old, he gave us options for replacement if we were interested but didn't push too much, as well as prices for the original issue. We declined the water heater and he started his work. When he was done he cleaned everything up and verified operation of the drains and charged us exactly what he said it would be. Will definitely us HEP in the future for any need we have.
