FAQs

How long does a tank water heater typically last?

On average, a tank water heater can last between 8 to 12 years. This lifespan can vary depending on factors such as water quality, maintenance, and usage patterns. Regular inspections and proper maintenance can help extend the life of your water heater.

What are the signs that my tank water heater needs to be replaced?

Common signs that your tank water heater needs to be replaced include inconsistent water temperature, a decrease in hot water supply, unusual noises, rusty water, and leaks around the tank. If you notice any of these signs, it may be time to consider a replacement.

How do I choose the right size tank water heater for my home?

The size of the tank water heater depends on the number of people in your household and your hot water usage. A commonly used guideline is: for 1-2 people, a 30-40 gallon tank is sufficient; for 2-3 people, a 40-50 gallon tank; for 3-4 people, a 50-60 gallon tank; and for 5 or more people, a 60-80 gallon tank might be necessary. Consulting with a professional plumber can help you determine the best size for your needs.

What maintenance does a tank water heater require?

Regular maintenance for a tank water heater includes flushing the tank annually to remove sediment buildup, inspecting the anode rod every 2-3 years and replacing it if necessary, testing the temperature and pressure relief valve, and setting the thermostat to a safe temperature (typically 120°F) to prevent scalding and save energy. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your water heater and ensure it operates efficiently.

Are tank water heaters energy efficient?

Tank water heaters are generally less energy efficient compared to tankless models, as they constantly heat and store water to maintain the desired temperature. However, modern tank water heaters are more energy-efficient than older models, with many featuring better insulation and advanced temperature control. Choosing an ENERGY STAR® certified model can also help improve energy efficiency.

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

While some experienced DIYers may be able to install a tank water heater themselves, it is generally recommended to hire a professional plumber. Proper installation is crucial for ensuring the unit operates safely and efficiently. Incorrect installation can lead to potential hazards, including water damage, electrical issues, and even safety risks. A professional plumber has the expertise and knowledge to install the water heater according to local codes and regulations.

Jordan Posada and JC are great. First they fixed a leak near my hot water heater and also a bad leak under my bathroom sink. They were timely and professional and also cleaned up after themselves. Thank y’all for everything. A job well done. I definitely recommend them.

Had to have water heater replaced. HEP provided a competitive bid and performed the work very quickly. Jordan Keller & Curtis Barnett were the plumbers who did our install and they provided 5 star service the entire process. Very professional. They explained each step and what to expect, did an outstanding job on the install, and made sure everything was in order before leaving. While I hated having to replace the water heater, HEP, Jordan, and Curtis made the process easy for us. Would absolutely recommend.

I just can't say enough wonderful customer service. Technicians are very kind professional and is able to answer all your questions with concise explanations Below is my little story of what they did for me. I will be calling them for all my needs. My hot water heater broke and I called HEP to come look at it I was hoping that it was something simple. But lol nothing lasts forever it was 13yrs old. So he gave me the price and after my penny pinching mentality did it's thing I said I would call the hubby and let him know and he said we have financing and if you need it just call and we will help you. I said ok. So the next morning I called and financing done they were come to come the next day but the man in the back ground said they have no hot water. He we will be there today. The installer was amazing very nice, professional, and was able to answer all my questions. They are just wonderful.
