Water heaters we install

Tank Water Heater


The average lifespan for a traditional tank-style water heater is typically 8-12 years. Factors such as the fuel type (gas or electric) the quality of the unit, regular maintenance line tank flushing, and your local water conditions all influence how long it will last.

Tankless Water Heater


The average lifespan of a tankless water heater is 15-20 years, though this can be extended to 25 years or more with proper maintenance and care, such as regular descaling and system flushing to prevent mineral buildup. Factors like the quality of the unit, water hardness, and the frequency of use all influence how long a tankless water heater will last.

Point of Use Water Heater


Point-Of-Use (POU) water heaters are compact devices that heat water either on-demand (tankless) or in a small tank, typically for a single fixture like a sink. The average lifespan of a POU water heater depends on the type; traditional tank-style POU water heaters last 8-12 years, while tankless or on-demand units typically last 15-20 years or more. Factors like hard water, lack of maintenance, and the quality of the unit can reduce the lifespan.

FAQs

FOR WATER HEATERS

  • When is the right time to replace my water heater?

    Typically, tank water heaters last between 8 to 12 years while tankless heaters last anywhere from 15 to 20 years. If your heater is constantly leaking, produces rusty water or fails to provide you with hot water, it could be time for replacement.

  • Why is water heater maintenance important?

    Regular maintenance is key to keeping your water heater in top condition. Not only does it improve efficiency and help lower your energy bills, but it also extends the lifespan of your unit by preventing unnecessary wear and tear. In addition, routine inspections can detect potential hazards such as leaks or faulty pressure valves, ensuring your home stays safe and comfortable.

  • What’s the difference between tank and tankless water heaters?

    Tank water heaters heats heat and store water for later use while tankless heaters provide hot water on demand. Most homes have tank heaters but if you’re considering upgrading to tankless, it’s important to consult with a professional plumber to see what’s the best fit for your home.

  • Should I consider installing a point of service heater?

    If you’re constantly using hot water in one part of your home (e.g., your kitchen sink or shower), you could greatly benefit from a point-of-service heater. They provide instant hot water for specific fixtures, reducing wait times and minimizing water waste.
