FAQs

How long does a typical tank water heater last?

A standard tank water heater typically lasts between 8 to 12 years, depending on the quality of the unit and how well it is maintained. Regular maintenance, like flushing the tank to remove sediment build-up, can help extend its lifespan.

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 habits. Generally, a 40 to 50-gallon tank is suitable for a household of 2 to 4 people. For larger families, you might consider a 50 to 80-gallon tank to ensure everyone has adequate hot water.

How long does it take to install a new tank water heater?

The installation of a new tank water heater typically takes about 2 to 4 hours. This can vary based on factors such as the complexity of the installation, the type of water heater, and any required modifications to your existing plumbing or gas/electric connections.

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

Common signs that your tank water heater may need to be replaced include inconsistent water temperature, reduced hot water supply, unusual noises from the tank, rust-colored water, and visible leaks around the unit. If your water heater is over 10 years old and showing these symptoms, it might be time for a replacement.

Can I install a tank water heater myself, or should I hire a professional?

While some homeowners might be tempted to install a tank water heater themselves, it is generally recommended to hire a professional plumber. Proper installation requires knowledge of plumbing, electrical or gas connections, local building codes, and safety standards. Incorrect installation can lead to serious problems, including water damage and hazardous conditions.

Are there any maintenance tasks I should perform on my tank water heater?

Yes, regular maintenance can help extend the life of your tank water heater. Key tasks include flushing the tank annually to remove sediment, checking the anode rod for corrosion every 2 to 3 years, and inspecting the temperature and pressure relief valve to ensure it is functioning correctly. Additionally, setting the thermostat to 120 degrees Fahrenheit helps prevent overheating and energy waste.

What our customers say

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.
