Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long do water heaters typically last?
A: Think of your water heater like a trusty old car—with proper care, it’ll serve you well for many years. Most water heaters last between 8 to 12 years. If yours is older and starting to act up, it might be time for an upgrade. We can help you find a new model that’ll keep you in hot water for years to come.
Q: What are the signs of a failing water heater?
A: If your water heater is throwing a tantrum, it’ll probably give you some clues. Look out for things like rusty water, strange noises (like a grumpy dragon), leaks, or inconsistent water temperature. If you notice any of these signs, don’t ignore them! Give us a call, and we’ll get to the bottom of it.
Q: What size water heater do I need?
A: Choosing the right size water heater is like picking the right size pizza—you want enough to go around, but you don’t want a ton of leftovers. It depends on your household size and hot water usage. We can help you calculate the perfect size to ensure everyone gets a hot shower, even during peak times.
Q: Are there energy-efficient rebates available?
A: Yes, there are! Upgrading to an energy-efficient water heater can save you money on your utility bills and might even qualify you for rebates. It’s like getting paid to be eco-friendly! We can help you find available rebates and choose a model that’s good for your wallet and the environment.
Q: Should I repair or replace my water heater?
A: That’s the million-dollar question! If your water heater is relatively new and the problem is minor, a repair might be the best option. But if it’s old, rusty, or constantly breaking down, a replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. We’ll give you an honest assessment and help you make the best decision for your home.
