Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a tankless and traditional water heater?
A traditional water heater stores hot water in a tank, while a tankless water heater heats water on demand, providing an endless supply of hot water. Tankless units are more energy-efficient but can require a higher upfront investment.
Are tankless water heaters worth the investment?
Yes, tankless water heaters can be worth the investment for many homeowners. They provide endless hot water, reduce energy consumption and save space. However, the initial cost is higher than traditional units, and installation may require some modifications to your plumbing.
How do I know if I need a new water heater?
If your water heater is experiencing frequent breakdowns, producing inconsistent temperatures or if it's over 10-15 years old, it might be time for a replacement. Other signs include leaking, discolored water or rising energy bills due to inefficiency.
What types of water heaters do you repair and replace?
We service all types of water heaters, including traditional tank water heaters, tankless models, hybrid water heaters and solar-powered units. Our technicians are equipped to handle repairs and installations for both gas and electric systems.
How long should a water heater last?
On average, a traditional tank water heater lasts between 10 to 15 years, while tankless models can last up to 20 years with proper maintenance. Regular service can extend the lifespan of your water heater.
What should I do if my water heater is leaking?
If you notice water pooling around your water heater, it's important to act quickly. Shut off the power and water supply to the unit, and call a professional immediately to avoid further damage or risk of flooding.
How much does water heater repair or replacement cost?
The cost of repair or replacement can vary depending on the issue, type of water heater and your location. Typically, repairs are more affordable than replacements, but we offer free quotes and competitive pricing to ensure you get the best value.
How long does it take to replace a water heater?
Water heater replacement typically takes between 3 to 5 hours, depending on the type of unit and any necessary plumbing adjustments. We ensure that your new system is installed properly and working efficiently before we leave.
