How often should I replace my water heater? Water heaters generally have a lifespan of 10-15 years.

Why is my water heater leaking? This can be caused by a failing or faulty expansion tank. If your expansion tank loses pressure, it can cause the pressure relief valve to drip onto the floor. If your water heater is 15+ years old, it may have developed a leak in the main tank and will need to be replaced.

Why isn’t my water hot? Your electric water heater can fail when a thermostat or element goes bad. These parts usually have a lifespan of 8-10 years. The most common issues that cause a natural gas water heater to fail is the thermo-couple (on older models) or gas valve needing to be replaced.

Why does it take so long to get hot water from my faucet or shower? This usually means that your water heater is a long distance away from your faucet or shower. This can be remedied by installing a recirculation pump system. Call us today to find out how you can start saving water (and money) by having instant hot water!

Is a tankless water heater a good option for me? Tankless water heaters are extremely energy efficient and much smaller than a standard tank. They are also available with or without built-in recirculation systems. Call us for a free estimate to see if this is a good option for your home!

Why do I run out of hot water so quickly? Standard water heaters are generally 50 gallons, and are sufficient for most smaller households; however, larger tanks as well as tankless water heaters (which supply endless hot water!) are available and we are happy to supply you with the best option for your home! In addition, older water heaters can produce less water as they age due to failing thermostats or elements, so if you can’t remember the last time your water heater was replaced, it is probably time for a new unit.
