Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions About Water Heaters? We've Got Answers!
Find answers to common questions about our water heaters services.
How long do water heaters typically last?
Traditional tank water heaters last 8-12 years on average, while tankless water heaters can last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. In South Florida's hard water conditions, regular maintenance including annual tank flushing can significantly extend water heater lifespan.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
If your water heater is over 10 years old, repairs cost more than half the replacement price, or you're experiencing frequent problems, replacement usually makes more financial sense. Newer water heaters are more energy-efficient and reliable than older models, potentially saving hundreds annually on energy costs.
What size water heater do I need?
Size depends on household size and hot water usage. A typical family of four needs a 50-gallon tank water heater or a tankless unit rated for 7-9 gallons per minute. Our technicians calculate your needs based on bathrooms, appliances, and usage patterns to recommend the right size.
How much does water heater installation cost?
Tank water heater installation typically costs $1,200-$2,500 depending on tank size and installation complexity. Tankless water heater installation runs $2,500-$4,500 due to additional gas line or electrical requirements. We provide detailed upfront pricing before any work begins.
What are the benefits of tankless water heaters?
Tankless water heaters provide endless hot water, use 30-40% less energy than tank heaters, last twice as long (20+ years), save space, and never run out during showers or baths. The higher initial cost is offset by energy savings and longer lifespan.
Why is my water heater leaking?
Common causes include a faulty temperature and pressure relief valve, corroded tank, loose drain valve, or condensation. Small leaks from valves can often be repaired, but tank leaks indicate corrosion and require immediate replacement to prevent water damage.
Why do I run out of hot water quickly?
This can result from sediment buildup reducing tank capacity, a faulty heating element or thermostat, an undersized water heater for your household needs, or simultaneous hot water demands. Our technicians diagnose the cause and recommend appropriate solutions.
How often should water heaters be serviced?
Annual maintenance is recommended for all water heaters. Service includes flushing the tank to remove sediment, testing the pressure relief valve, checking the anode rod, inspecting for leaks, and testing heating elements or gas burner. Regular maintenance prevents problems and extends equipment life.
Do you service gas and electric water heaters?
Yes—our technicians are certified to service and install both gas and electric water heaters, including traditional tank models, tankless systems, heat pump water heaters, and hybrid models. We handle all fuel types and work on all major brands.
Can you install a water heater the same day?
In many cases, yes. We stock popular water heater sizes on our service trucks and can often complete same-day replacement if the installation is straightforward. More complex installations requiring gas line modifications or electrical upgrades may require scheduling a follow-up appointment.
