Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the average cost of installing a new water heater?

A: The cost of installing a new water heater can vary widely based on several factors, including the type of water heater, its size and capacity, and your home's plumbing and electrical setup. On average, the cost of a traditional tank-style water heater installation ranges from $800 to $1,500, including the unit and professional installation. Tankless water heaters typically cost between $1,000 and $2,500, with installation costs potentially higher due to the need for additional modifications to your home's plumbing and gas lines.

Additional costs may include removing the old unit, upgrading your home's electrical system, or making any necessary repairs to existing plumbing. It’s important to get multiple quotes from licensed professionals and consider the long-term energy savings and efficiency benefits when making your decision. For a more accurate estimate, a professional inspection of your home’s current system and needs is recommended.

Q: How do I choose between a tankless and a traditional water heater?

A:  Choosing between a tankless and a traditional water heater depends on several factors including your household’s hot water needs, energy efficiency goals, and budget.

Traditional Water Heaters: These units store and heat a large volume of water in a tank, which can be beneficial for households with high hot water usage. They are generally less expensive to purchase and install but can be less energy-efficient because they continuously heat the stored water, leading to higher energy bills.

Tankless Water Heaters: Also known as on-demand heaters, these units heat water only when needed, providing a continuous supply of hot water without storing it. They are more energy-efficient and can reduce utility bills over time. However, they have a higher initial cost and may require modifications to your home's plumbing and electrical systems. Tankless water heaters are ideal for homes with space constraints or those seeking to reduce their carbon footprint.

When making your choice, consider the size of your home, the number of people living in it, and your typical hot water usage. Consulting with a professional can help you determine the best option for your specific needs.

Q: What size water heater do I need for my home?

A: The size of the water heater you need depends on your household's hot water usage and the number of people living in your home. For traditional tank-style water heaters, you should consider the gallon capacity of the tank. Common sizes range from 30 to 80 gallons. A general rule of thumb is:
 

  • 30-40 gallons: Suitable for 1-2 people

  • 40-50 gallons: Ideal for 3-4 people

  • 50-80 gallons: Best for 5 or more people


For tankless water heaters, size is measured by the flow rate, which is the number of gallons per minute (GPM) the unit can heat. You should calculate the total GPM needed by adding up the flow rates of all hot water fixtures that might be used simultaneously (e.g., showers, faucets, dishwashers). A professional can help you calculate the appropriate size based on your specific hot water needs.

Q: How often should I replace my water heater?

A: The lifespan of a water heater typically ranges from 8 to 12 years, depending on the type and how well it has been maintained. Traditional tank-style water heaters generally last about 8-12 years, while tankless water heaters can last up to 20 years or more with proper maintenance.

Signs that it may be time for replacement include:

 

  • Frequent Repairs: If your water heater requires frequent repairs, it may be more cost-effective to replace it.

  • Inconsistent Hot Water: If you’re experiencing inconsistent hot water or running out of hot water frequently, your unit might be reaching the end of its life.

  • Rusty Water: Rusty or discolored water can indicate internal corrosion in the tank.

  • Leaks: Water pooling around the base of the heater can indicate a leak or tank failure.


Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank and checking the anode rod, can extend the life of your water heater. If your unit is nearing the end of its lifespan and showing signs of trouble, consider replacing it to avoid unexpected breakdowns and ensure a reliable hot water supply.

Q: What are the signs that indicate my water heater needs repair or replacement?

A: Identifying signs that your water heater needs repair or replacement can help you address issues before they become major problems. Common signs include:
 

  • No Hot Water: If your water heater is not producing hot water at all, it could be due to a failed heating element or thermostat issue.
     

  • Strange Noises: Banging or rumbling noises often indicate sediment buildup inside the tank, which can reduce efficiency and lead to premature failure.

  • Water Discoloration: Rusty or brown water can suggest internal corrosion in the tank, which may require replacement.

  • Leaks: Any leaks around the base of the unit or from the tank can indicate serious issues, such as tank failure.

  • Inconsistent Water Temperature: Fluctuations in water temperature can be caused by a faulty thermostat or heating element.

If you notice any of these issues, it’s advisable to consult a professional plumber or technician for a thorough inspection and to determine whether repair or replacement is the best course of action. Timely intervention can prevent more significant problems and ensure your home’s hot water system remains reliable and efficient.
