Frequently asked questions
How long does a water heater last?
Tank water heaters often last around 8 to 12 years, while tankless units can last longer with proper maintenance. Water quality, usage, and installation affect the actual lifespan.
Should I repair or replace a leaking water heater?
A leak from the tank itself usually cannot be repaired safely. A leak from a fitting, valve, or drain may be fixable. A local professional can confirm the source.
Can I get help with a tankless unit?
Yes. Local water heater professionals can service tankless units, including descaling, ignition problems, error codes, and installation questions.
What should I do if the heater is leaking?
If water is actively pooling, shut off the water supply and power or gas to the unit if it is safe to do so, then call for help.
