With routine maintenance and repairs, you can expect your heater to last anywhere from 8 to 12 years. Eventually, you will need to replace it. If you find yourself scheduling more frequent repairs, consider that replacing the unit entirely may be the more cost-effective option. Signs of visible corrosion and damage indicate that your tank has reached the end of its life expectancy, and it’s time to invest in a new heater.

There are several signs to be aware of that indicate the need for water heater replacement or repairs:

• Lack of hot water
• Decrease in water pressure

• Water contamination
• Spike in energy consumption

Choose from various sizes and types of units. Size is crucial. For a household of 1 to 2 people, invest in a tank that holds about 30 to 40 gallons. A household of 3 to 4 people needs a tank that’s at least 60 gallons. Large households need a tank that’s 75 gallons or more.

If your household demands a lot of hot water, consider a tankless model. Although this unit has a higher upfront cost, it saves you money over many years. It heats water only when you need it, eliminating the need to keep water warm in a tank, which can be expensive if you rarely use hot water. Look for a tankless unit that provides around seven to nine gallons of water per minute to meet your hot water requirements.

Flushing both tank and tankless water heaters removes mineral buildup, improves efficiency, and extends their lifespan. When you hire us to flush your tank model, we clear sediment from the bottom of the tank. We also descale your tankless unit to prevent clogs. By regularly flushing, typically once a year, you ensure reliable performance, consistent water temperature, and reduced energy consumption.

Upgrading your heater brings several benefits, including energy-efficient features, safety enhancements, smart technology, rebates, incentives, and space-saving designs. You can also reduce your carbon footprint by using a more modern and efficient heater for your hot water needs.
