Water heater FAQ
Most tank water heaters last 8–12 years with proper maintenance. Tankless units can last 15–20 years. If your unit is older, leaking, or noisy, replacement is usually the most reliable option.
If the repair is minor and the unit is under 8 years old, repair often makes sense. If the tank is leaking, rusty, or over 10 years old, replacement is usually the safer long-term choice.
Yes. We install tankless water heaters and can help you decide whether a tankless model is right for your household and your gas or electrical setup.
Most water heater replacements can be completed in a few hours. If gas lines, venting, or electrical needs to be upgraded, the job may take longer. We will confirm timing before we start.
We handle required permits and code-compliant installation. We can also dispose of the old unit so you do not have to.
