FAQs

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

Several signs indicate your tank water heater may need repair or replacement, including strange noises (such as banging or rumbling), inconsistent or insufficient hot water, rust-colored water, puddles around the unit, and fluctuating water temperatures. If your water heater is over 10 years old, it might be time for a replacement.

How often should I flush my tank water heater to maintain efficiency?

It's recommended to flush your tank water heater at least once a year to remove sediment buildup that can decrease efficiency. In areas with hard water, more frequent flushing might be required. Regular flushing helps extend the lifespan of the unit and ensures optimal performance.

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

The size of the tank water heater you need depends on the number of people in your household and your daily hot water usage. For a family of 1-2 people, a 30-40 gallon tank usually suffices. For 3-4 people, consider a 40-50 gallon tank. For larger families of 5 or more, a 50-80 gallon tank may be necessary.

What are the advantages of a tank water heater over a tankless water heater?

Tank water heaters typically have a lower upfront cost compared to tankless water heaters. They are easier and cheaper to install, and they provide a steady supply of hot water, which can be important for households with simultaneous hot water needs. Additionally, tank water heaters are generally easier to maintain and have simpler technology.

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

You can improve the energy efficiency of your tank water heater by insulating the tank and hot water pipes, reducing the thermostat setting to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and using a timer to heat water only when needed. Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank and inspecting the anode rod, also helps keep the unit running efficiently.

What maintenance tasks can I perform myself, and when should I call a professional?

Homeowners can perform basic maintenance tasks like flushing the tank to remove sediment, inspecting and potentially replacing the anode rod, and checking the temperature setting. However, if you notice leaks, have no hot water, or experience other significant issues, it's best to call a professional plumber. They can perform more complex repairs and ensure that your water heater operates safely and efficiently.

What our customers say

Earnest was an amazing installer he came out within the time frame and fixed our water heater. He added all the things needed to bring us up to requirements and safety. I can't thank HEP and Earnest enough for all the hard work they did.

The installers, Zach and Brandon, were awesome! Replaced my relic of a water heater yesterday along with the shower valve replacement. Very prompt, professional and efficient. Even texted me photos of everything when job was complete, as I am out of state at the moment. Will use this company again when the need arises. Thanks HEP!

Booked on Sunday for Monday. Jeremiah called to let us know he was on his way and arrived when he said he would. He assessed the issue (clogged drains) and performed a preventative maintenance inspection, noting our water heater was also leaking a little and pretty old, he gave us options for replacement if we were interested but didn't push too much, as well as prices for the original issue. We declined the water heater and he started his work. When he was done he cleaned everything up and verified operation of the drains and charged us exactly what he said it would be. Will definitely us HEP in the future for any need we have.
