Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my water heater needs to be replaced?
Common signs include rusty water, inconsistent temperatures, rumbling noises, or visible leaks. If your unit is over 10 years old and showing signs of wear or inefficiency, replacing it is often more cost-effective than making frequent repairs.
What’s the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?
Tank water heaters store a set amount of hot water, while tankless units heat water on demand. Tankless models are more energy-efficient and offer unlimited hot water, but tank systems may have lower upfront costs and easier installation in some cases.
How long does a professional installation take?
Most standard water heater installations can be completed within 2 to 4 hours. However, the time may vary depending on the complexity of the job, any necessary plumbing adjustments, or removal of an old unit before installation begins.
What maintenance does a water heater need?
Annual maintenance is recommended. This typically includes flushing the tank to remove sediment, inspecting the anode rod, testing the pressure relief valve, and checking temperature settings. Proper upkeep helps extend the lifespan and ensures optimal efficiency and safety.
Can a water heater increase my energy bills?
Yes, if it’s outdated, malfunctioning, or improperly sized. Inefficient units require more energy to heat water. Replacing or repairing the unit, or switching to an energy-efficient model, can significantly reduce monthly utility costs over time.
Is it safe to adjust my water heater’s temperature?
Minor adjustments can be safe, but it’s best to consult a professional for guidance. Setting temperatures too high can cause scalding, while setting temperatures too low can allow bacterial growth. A technician ensures that temperature settings are safe, efficient, and appropriate for your household needs.
What should I do if my water heater is leaking?
Turn off the power or gas supply and shut the water inlet valve. Leaks may signal a serious issue, such as internal corrosion or a faulty pressure valve. Avoid using the unit and call a professional to inspect and repair it promptly.
