FAQs

How often should I maintain my tank water heater?

Regular maintenance of your tank water heater is essential for its longevity and efficiency. We recommend having it inspected and serviced at least once a year. This includes checking the anode rod, flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup, and inspecting the heater for any signs of wear or damage.

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

Common signs that your tank water heater may need repair include inconsistent hot water temperature, strange noises coming from the tank, water discoloration, a decrease in hot water supply, and visible leaks around the unit. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to call a professional plumber for an inspection.

How long does a tank water heater typically last?

The lifespan of a tank water heater can vary based on factors like the quality of the unit, water quality, and maintenance practices. On average, a well-maintained tank water heater can last between 8 to 12 years. However, keeping up with regular maintenance can help extend its life.

What size tank water heater should I buy for my home?

Choosing the right size tank water heater depends on the number of people in your household and your typical hot water usage. Generally, a 30-40 gallon tank is suitable for 1-2 people, a 40-50 gallon tank works well for 3-4 people, and a 50-80 gallon tank is appropriate for 5 or more people. Consulting with a professional plumber can help you determine the best size for your needs.

Is it better to repair or replace my old tank water heater?

Whether to repair or replace your tank water heater depends on several factors including the age of the unit, the severity of the issue, and repair costs. If your water heater is over 10 years old and frequently needs repairs, replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. For newer units with minor issues, repairs are usually sufficient.

Can I install a tank water heater myself?

While it is technically possible to install a tank water heater yourself, it is not recommended unless you have significant plumbing and electrical experience. Improper installation can lead to serious issues including leaks, water damage, or hazardous situations involving gas or electric connections. It's always best to hire a licensed professional to ensure a safe and proper installation.
