FAQs

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

Common signs include insufficient hot water, inconsistent water temperature, unusual noises, rusty or discolored water, and water leaks around the unit. If you experience any of these issues, it may be time to have your water heater inspected by a professional.

How long does a typical tank water heater last?

A standard tank water heater generally lasts about 8-12 years. However, this lifespan can vary depending on the model, usage, maintenance, and water quality. Regular maintenance can help extend the life of your unit.

How often should I flush my tank water heater?

It is recommended to flush your tank water heater at least once a year to remove sediment buildup. Sediment can cause the heater to work inefficiently and may lead to premature failure. If you have hard water, you may need to flush it more frequently.

Are there energy-efficient options for tank water heaters?

Yes, there are energy-efficient tank water heaters available that can significantly reduce your energy consumption and costs. Look for models with high Energy Factor (EF) ratings or ENERGY STAR® certification, which indicate better energy efficiency.

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

The size of the tank water heater you'll need depends on your household's hot water usage. A 40-50 gallon tank is typically sufficient for a family of 2-4 people, while larger families may require a 50-80 gallon tank. Consulting with a professional plumber can help you determine the best size for your needs.

How can I maintain my tank water heater to ensure its longevity?

Regular maintenance is key to prolonging your tank water heater’s life. This includes annual flushing to remove sediment, inspecting the anode rod every 3-4 years to prevent rust, checking the temperature setting to ensure it is around 120°F, and inspecting for any signs of leaks or wear. Scheduling annual inspections with a professional plumber can help catch potential issues early.

Bobbie J.

We had an issue with our water heater on a Saturday. The lady I spoke with on the phone that does scheduling was very polite and understanding of the situation. Amanda came out that morning. She contacted me ahead of time letting me know what time to expect her. She handled the issue and gave me a thorough explanation of what happened. We also discussed some issues where the water heater was not installed up to code. While she was here, she worked up an estimate to take care of the issue. I could not be happier with the service we received.
