All things being equal, a standard water heater should last you about more or less a decade. However, beyond this age, a standard water heater becomes less efficient and troublesome to maintain, thus requiring a replacement. Mr. Rooter can repair or replace your standard water heater as part of our water heater services with a fully American-made model. These come with either 6 or 10-year warranties, and our crew will gladly haul your old water heater away for free.
Tankless Water Heaters
When your standard water heaters break down and needs to be replaced, you should consider replacing it with a Houston tankless water heater. As the name suggests, these types of water heaters do not have tanks to store water in. Instead, a heater is connected directly to the lines, and goes to work only when you open your taps or shower heads.
This makes it a lot more cost-effective in the long-term, because the heater does not have to keep heating the water stored in the tank even if they are not in use. In addition, tankless water heaters tend to last longer than standard water heaters, usually up to 15 to 20 years. Mr. Rooter gives you maximum pricing flexibility by offering Good, Better, and Best replacement options; the latter comes equipped with a 10-year tank, parts, and labor warranty!
Whether you decide to go for a standard water heater or a tankless water heater, Mr. Rooter can repair and install them all for you. Give us a call and we will come right over to serve your water heater needs.
