Homeowner FAQs

How do I know if my water heater needs repair or full replacement?

If you have no hot water, inconsistent temperature, rumbling noises, small leaks, or the unit is not keeping up like it used to, repair may be possible. If the tank is leaking from the bottom, the unit is older, or repairs are becoming frequent, replacement is usually the smarter long-term option.

How long does a typical water heater last?

Most tank water heaters last around 8 to 12 years, depending on water quality, maintenance, and usage. Tankless units can often last longer with proper care. If your unit is near the end of its lifespan, replacement can prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Why is my water heater making popping or rumbling noises?

Those sounds are often caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. Sediment makes the heater work harder, reduces efficiency, and can shorten the life of the unit. Flushing may help, but if buildup is severe, we may recommend replacement.

How long does water heater repair or replacement take?

Many repairs can be completed the same day. A standard water heater replacement is often completed in a few hours, depending on access, venting, and whether code upgrades or plumbing adjustments are needed.

Should I choose a tank or tankless water heater?

Tank units are typically lower upfront cost and reliable for many homes. Tankless units can provide continuous hot water and may improve efficiency, but they cost more upfront and require proper sizing. We will help you choose what fits your home, budget, and hot water needs.

Are permits required for water heater replacement?

In many areas, yes. Water heater replacement can require permits and must meet code for gas, venting, electrical, and safety features. A licensed plumber helps ensure the installation is safe, compliant, and done correctly from the start.
