FAQs

How often should I clean my tank water heater?

It is generally recommended to flush and clean your tank water heater at least once a year. This helps in removing sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank, which can affect the efficiency and lifespan of the heater. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and can prevent costly repairs in the future.

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

Common signs that your tank water heater needs repair include inconsistent water temperature, strange noises coming from the tank, discolored or foul-smelling water, leaks around the tank, and reduced hot water supply. If you notice any of these issues, it’s advisable to consult a professional plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.

How long does a typical tank water heater last?

Most tank water heaters have a lifespan of 8 to 12 years, depending on factors like usage, maintenance, and water quality. With proper care and regular maintenance, you can maximize the lifespan of your water heater. It's also important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines regarding maintenance.

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

The size of the tank water heater you need depends on your household's hot water usage. As a general rule, a 30-40 gallon tank is suitable for 1-2 people, a 40-50 gallon tank for 3-4 people, and a 50-80 gallon tank for households with 5 or more people. Assessing your daily hot water needs can help determine the appropriate size for your home.

Can I install a tank water heater myself, or do I need a professional plumber?

While it is possible to install a tank water heater yourself, it is highly recommended to hire a professional plumber. Proper installation is crucial for the safety and efficiency of the unit. A professional plumber ensures that the installation meets local building codes, and can also help you select the right heater and provide valuable maintenance tips.

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

To improve the efficiency of your tank water heater, you can take several steps: insulate the tank to reduce heat loss, lower the thermostat setting to around 120°F, regularly flush the tank to remove sediment buildup, and fix any leaks promptly. Additionally, consider installing a timer to control heating cycles and use energy-efficient fixtures to reduce hot water usage.

Brett Nicely was very friendly and informative on our water heater. He confirmed our suspicions immediately that our current tank was busted and explained how the inside works. We received a quote for a new tank and he explained how the unit would be installed and works.

Justin Hodge came to our house to look at our hot water heater. My husband had fallen in our bedroom. Justin came in and helped him get up. Mike isn't a small person but Justin got him up and stayed with him until I got home. I am so appreciative that Justin was there. Justin went above and beyond. Thank You
