Know the Signs You Need Water Heater Repair

When to Choose Water Heater Replacement
Water heaters typically last between 11-20 years, depending on the type of water heater and whether it was well cared for and maintained over the years. When we help you choose between residential water heater repair and replacement, we will consider a few different factors:
- The age of your water heater
- Whether it is supplying enough hot water to meet your household’s daily needs
- How energy-efficient or eco-friendly your water heater is
- Whether it was properly installed and maintained
- Where it was installed - inside or outside
- Whether water heater repairs over the next few years will end up costing more than water heater replacement
- The availability and cost of electricity vs. natural gas in your area
- Your future plans for your home
- Your budget
Our Options for Replacing Water Heaters
If we recommend replacing your water heater, we can help you choose the best hot water heater for your household’s needs, lifestyle, and budget. We offer new water heater replacement for:
- Conventional Water Heaters – A conventional or traditional water heater has a storage tank that can hold 30-60 gallons of hot water. It heats water using natural gas, electricity, fuel oil, or propane, and the heated water is stored in the tank until you need it. Installing a new, energy-efficient, conventional water heater can reduce your water bill by up to 7% per year.
- Tankless Water Heaters – A tankless water heater doesn't store water in a tank. Instead, it uses a heat exchanger to rapidly heat water on demand as it passes through the unit. The heat exchanger can be powered by electricity, natural gas, or propane. Tankless water heaters are incredibly energy-efficient and reduce standby energy losses. Installing a tankless water heater can save you up to 30% on your energy bills each year.
- Hybrid Water Heaters – A hybrid water heater uses a storage tank but heats the water with an electric heat pump. A heat pump takes warm air from outside the water heater and transfers the heat to the water in the tank. Installing a hybrid water heater can save you up to 60% per year on energy costs.
