FAQs

What is the average lifespan of a tank water heater?

The average lifespan of a tank water heater is typically between 8 to 12 years. With proper maintenance, some can last even longer, but efficiency may decline over time. Regular inspections and timely repairs can help maximize its lifespan.

How often should I flush my tank water heater?

It is recommended to flush your tank water heater at least once a year. This process helps to remove sediment buildup, which can impair efficiency and reduce the heater's lifespan. In areas with hard water, more frequent flushing may be necessary.

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

Common signs that your tank water heater needs repair include inconsistent water temperature, strange noises from the tank, water leaks around the unit, rusty or dirty water, and reduced hot water supply. If you notice any of these issues, it is best to contact a professional plumber.

Can I install a tank water heater myself?

While it is possible to install a tank water heater yourself, it is generally not recommended unless you have experience with plumbing and electrical work. Improper installation can lead to serious safety hazards, inefficiency, and potential damage to the unit. It's best to hire a licensed plumber to ensure a safe and correct installation.

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 hot water usage. A common guideline is a 40-gallon tank for 1-4 people, a 50-gallon tank for 4-6 people, and a 75-gallon tank for larger households. Consulting with a professional can help you determine the best size for your specific needs.

Are there any ways to improve the efficiency of my tank water heater?

Yes, there are several ways to improve the efficiency of your tank water heater. These include insulating the tank and hot water pipes, reducing hot water usage, installing low-flow fixtures, setting the thermostat to a lower temperature (usually around 120°F), and regularly maintaining the unit. Additionally, considering an upgrade to a more energy-efficient model can save on long-term energy costs.

Rueben was very informative and diagnosed my issue in no time.professional and efficient service. Justin was very attentive and knowledgeable and helpful throughout a crisis when our hot water heater went out! I I highly recommend him!

Terri R.

The tech was punctual and solved my problem. He was very step by step to solve my water heater problem. Took readings and took the time to dump the tank, replace heating rods, fill tank, waited for tank to heat up and then tested the water temperature(after setting to 119 degrees) at all outlets. When the water heater was first put in the water was boiling hot that came out. The installer never checked the hotness of water at any outlets. 5 STAR rating for REUBEN... hope everyone gets a tech that is concerned enough to go through a step by step approach to solve the problem. THANK U REUBEN 👍
