How long does a standard water heater last?
symbol

The average lifespan of a traditional water heater is between 6 to 10 years. This can vary based on usage, water quality, and maintenance. Regular flushing and inspections can help extend its lifespan.  Better quality tanks last longer.

How can I tell if my water heater needs to be replaced?
symbol

Signs that you may need a replacement include rusty water, strange noises, inconsistent water temperature, and leaks around the tank. If your unit is over 10 years old and showing these issues, it may be time for a new water heater.

What size water heater do I need for my home?
symbol

The right size depends on your household’s hot water usage. For a family of four, a 40-50 gallon water heater is typically sufficient. For larger households, a larger capacity unit may be more appropriate. Consulting with a professional can help you choose the right size.

How can I improve my water heater’s energy efficiency?
symbol

You can improve efficiency by lowering the thermostat to 120°F, insulating the tank, and flushing the tank annually to remove sediment buildup. These steps reduce energy use and improve performance.

Why is my water heater making strange noises?
symbol

Banging or rumbling noises are often caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. As water heats up, the sediment can trap air bubbles, causing these sounds. Flushing the tank can usually resolve this issue.
