Importance of Professional Installation

Water heater installation is definitely not a do-it-yourself job. For one thing, the connections need to be correctly made, especially if you'll be using a gas water heater. Additionally, a water heater needs to be correctly sized based on what's appropriate for the size of your home and typical hot water needs. Our water heater professionals can provide the advice and information needed to make a well-informed decision.

Signs You Need Water Heater Repair

It's not always easy to tell if you need water heater replacement or repair. Granted, a leaking tank is fairly noticeable. However, it's just as important to give us a call if any of the following signs are noticed:

  • Water that smells or tastes bad
  • Crackling or other unusual sounds
  • Heated water that runs out too soon on a recurring basis
  • Inconsistent temperatures

Replacement is worth considering if you have an existing water heater that's needing repairs from your plumber in Richardson, TX, more often. If you have an older unit, a replacement can be beneficial if it's older - even if it's still working. Today's water heaters, including conventional water heaters, are designed with improved efficiency in mind. Another time to consider replacing your water heater is if the tank has developed a serious leak, especially if the anode rod is already completely worn away.

Benefits of Regular Maintenance

Water heater maintenance extends the life of your current water heater. This fact alone can add up to significant savings. Routine maintenance that includes flushing, checking the pressure relief valve, and making sure all internal parts and connections are fine improves the overall efficiency of your water heater, which means more savings for you!

Water Heater FAQs

How long can I expect my water heater to last?

A conventional water heater with a tank lasts, on average, anywhere from 7 to 15 years, depending on how well it's maintained. A tankless water heater, on the other hand, has the potential to last for 20 years or more since it has fewer parts and no tank.

How do I know what size water heater I need?

A good rule of thumb is to go by the number of people in your household. A 50-60 gallon water heater, for example, is generally sufficient for a home with 1-3 people.

Should I consider a tankless system for my home?

Tankless water heaters are certainly a smart investment for many homeowners since hot water is only produced when it's needed. What's more, tankless water heaters have a long lifespan - and your savings can really add up over time and more than justify your initial investment.

Does my homeowner's insurance cover water heater repairs?

Typically, water heater repairs aren't covered by a standard policy. However, please do check to see which plumbing services are included with your own coverage and policy.

What should I do while waiting for a plumber if I have a leaking tank?

Turn off the valve that's near the top of your water heater. It's usually on one of the pipes that's near your water heater. In addition, soak up as much water as possible to reduce the risk of damage to your floor and any nearby belongings or appliances.
