Water Heater Installation & Repair

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heater Installation & Repair

How long do water heaters typically last?

Traditional tank water heaters last around 8–12 years, while tankless models can last up to 20 years with proper maintenance.

Should I go with a tankless or tank water heater?

Tankless units are more energy-efficient and space-saving but may cost more upfront. We can help you decide based on your usage and budget.

What are signs that my water heater needs replacing?

Rusty water, strange noises, water around the unit, or inconsistent temperatures are all warning signs.

Can I install a water heater myself?

It’s not recommended due to plumbing codes, safety concerns, and potential for voiding manufacturer warranties.

Do you install energy-efficient models?

Yes! We install Energy Star rated water heaters and help you understand rebates and energy savings.
