Signs of a Failing Hot Water Heater
Lukewarm water is often the first sign of a failing hot water heater. It’s important to reach out to us as soon as you notice any problems with your water heater.

Water Heater Lifespan
The water heater in your home can last about 11 to 20 years. Our service professionals can come to your home to inspect your existing water heater. If the costs of water heater repairs are over one-half the price of a new water heater installation, we typically recommend a new one.
Types of Water Heaters
Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Riverside helps you find the perfect type of water heater for your home. We correctly install it to ensure proper connections. We offer the following water heater types:
Conventional Water Heater
A conventional water heater uses electric energy or gas to heat the water for your home. The water is stored in a large tank until you need it.
Tankless Water Heater
A tankless water heater doesn’t need a storage tank and offers instant hot water when you need it. It can help you save up to 30% on monthly energy costs.
Hybrid Water Heaters
A combination water heater has a heat pump and storage tank. Hybrid water heaters can help save about 60% on monthly energy costs.
