Water Heater Replacement FAQs
Homeowners often ask us many questions about replacing their water heaters. Here are some of the most frequently asked ones:
Q: There’s water at the base of my water heater. What does this mean?
A: If you see water around the base of your water heater, it’s most likely leaking. Call us as soon as possible so that we can stop the leak before it turns into a major problem.
Q: What’s the main benefit of a tankless water heater?
A: Tankless water heaters are extremely energy efficient. You could potentially save upwards of $70 to $100 per year on your energy bills.
Q: How long will it take to install my new water heater?
A: The length of installation time varies depending on the type and location of the water heater we’re installing. For example, a conventional water heater can take two to three hours. However, it can take slightly longer if you opt for a tankless model.
Q: How do I know if I need to replace my water heater?
A: Common signs include: the unit is 10 or more years old, you’re running out of hot water faster than usual, you notice rust-colored water, you hear popping or rumbling noises, or you see water pooling around the base. Not sure? Our low-cost evaluation gives you an honest answer with no obligation.
Q: What types of water heaters can be installed as replacements?
A: We install conventional, tankless, and hybrid water heaters. Conventional units store hot water until it’s needed. Tankless models heat water on demand and are the most energy and space efficient. Hybrid units combine tank storage with heat pump technology for strong energy savings. We’ll help you find the right fit for your home and budget.
Q: How long do new water heaters typically last?
A: Most last between 8 and 15 years depending on the type, water quality, and maintenance. Tankless models often outlast conventional units.
Q: Are financing or warranties available?
A: Yes. We offer financing options through Goodleap and guarantee all parts and labor for two years. Manufacturer warranties may extend coverage beyond that.
Q: Will a new water heater improve energy efficiency?
A: In most cases, yes. Newer units are built to higher efficiency standards, and upgrading to a tankless water heater can save you $70 to $100 or more per year since it only heats water when you need it.
Q: Can I upgrade to a tankless water heater when replacing my system?
A: Absolutely. If gas or propane is available at your property, tankless models can be an excellent upgrade option. They’re more energy efficient, take up less space, and deliver hot water on demand. Our technicians will assess your setup and walk you through exactly what the switch involves.
