Our Water Heater FAQ

  • Should I get a traditional or tankless water heater?

    There’s no one-size-fits-all answer for whether you should choose traditional or tankless water heaters, as each type of water heater has its own pros and cons. Tankless water heaters cost less to operate, last longer, and can’t run out of hot water, but they trade this for a different set of limitations. They can cost more for the initial installation, need to be adequately sized for however much water you intend to run at once, and might need additional equipment for water softening.

  • How often should my water heater have maintenance?

    You want your water heater professionally maintained at least once a year, ideally. This will make sure you have minimal exposure to the risk of needing major repairs, keep your system running as efficiently as possible, and keep your water heater running healthy to the end of its normal life span. If you don’t maintain your water heater, you’re wasting money on energy inefficiency, more frequent repairs, and an earlier replacement.

  • Can I do maintenance myself?

    Some maintenance can be learned easily, if you’re comfortable with tools, such as draining your water heater, but to get the best results and minimize the risk of mistakes you’ll want a professional who knows the ins and outs of water heaters to make the most of yours if you want to avoid the need for frequent repairs.

  • Should I repair or replace my water heater?

    There are a few things to consider when facing this question. How much are the repairs going to cost? If it’s a lot, replacing while you can makes sense. If you’re seeing more frequent repairs or efficiency is dropping due to the age or wear on your water heater, replacement makes sense. And if your unit is measuring its age in decades, replacement instead of repair makes sense even if everything still seems to run fine.

  • Are gas water heaters safe?

    Uses correctly, with a carbon monoxide detector in your house, you should feel safe using gas appliances. Numerous failsafes exist to ensure safe operation of a gas water heater, as long as it is installed correctly by a professional.
