FAQs

How often should I flush my tank water heater in Louisville?

It is recommended to flush your tank water heater at least once a year to remove sediment build-up. This helps maintain the efficiency and longevity of the unit, ensures optimal performance, and prevents potential damage.

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

Common signs include fluctuating water temperatures, unusual noises, rusty or murky water, leaks around the base of the unit, and a decrease in hot water supply. If you notice any of these issues, it's time to call a professional plumber for an inspection.

How long does a tank water heater typically last?

A well-maintained tank water heater usually lasts between 8 to 12 years. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can prolong its lifespan. However, if the unit is older than 10 years and experiencing frequent problems, it may be time to consider a replacement.

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

The size of the tank water heater you need depends on the size of your household and your hot water usage. A 40-50 gallon tank is typically sufficient for a household of 2-3 people, while a family of 4-5 may need a 50-80 gallon tank. Consulting with a professional plumber can help determine the right size for your specific needs.

What type of fuel source should I use for my tank water heater in Louisville?

Tank water heaters can be powered by electricity, natural gas, or propane. The choice depends on your existing utility connections, energy efficiency preferences, and budget. Natural gas tends to be the most cost-effective and efficient option, but an electric water heater may be suitable for homes without gas lines.

How can I increase the energy efficiency of my tank water heater?

To increase the energy efficiency of your tank water heater, consider insulating the tank and pipes, setting the thermostat to 120°F, regularly checking for leaks, and performing routine maintenance. Additionally, using low-flow fixtures and taking shorter showers can help reduce hot water usage.

I have to give HEP a 5 star rating on replacing all the galvanized plumbing in our 1941 house. Tim and Sam were very professional, tidy, and polite. They did their upmost to keep my home clean while they performed this service. They wore booties every time they came into the house. They cleaned up their mess when they were finished, and even took out an old water heater we had in the basement for us. I will definitely be using HEP for any of our future home needs. Thank you again!!!

Great service. My technician Zack was very professional and precise with his work. Answered all my concerns and numerous questions. Replaced a water pressure valve and hot water heater. Highly recommend Zack for any plumbing issues.

Ed was a great technician! He flushed and inspected my water heater and provided me with an estimate for replacement water piping in my house.

Kyle S.

Kyle did a very good job in explaining all the problems that we had under our house and ways to correct the problems . Kyle wrote up three different bids we could choose from. We ended up with a 14 month contract to have PEX Plumbing installed and a new hot water heater. We were very happy with Kyle's presentation and we feel that the financial part of this loan will work well with our budget. We would recommend this company to anyone.
