Tankless water heaters are a perfect option to have the hot water you need exactly when you need it. A tankless water heater is different from a traditional water heater. Rather than utilizing a tank, the system heats up water on demand. The result is a more energy-efficient way to heat your water, which means lower energy bills. If this sounds like it might be a good option for you, our tankless water heater installation experts are at your service.

A water heater will provide several years of use. You can expect a well-maintained water heater to last about 10-12 years, depending on the type of unit you have (gas or electric). Water heater lifespan depends on your water quality. However, various issues can decrease a unit’s overall efficiency, which is why regular maintenance is essential. Besides maintenance, other factors can also affect a unit’s longevity: the level of installation, the unit’s design, and the general weather condition.
Is your water heater making popping sounds? A noisy water heater could be the symptom of many issues. The most likely issue is sediment build-up at the bottom of the tank and being burned by the heating element, or the heating element is starting to burn out.
You may smell a foul odor coming from your hot water supply. The smell is due to bacteria growth. Usually, this bacteria produces a rotten egg smell. A water heater contains hydrogen gas, and the bacteria feeds on this gas. Preventing this problem is tough because the anode rod generates the hydrogen gas. We can usually recommend a flush for your system, but depending on its age, you may consider replacement of the tank.

A leaky water tank is a sign that the water heater must be replaced. Unfortunately, your water heater has no remedy. These leaks could cause significant water damage in the home, so it is best to replace it with a new, energy efficient water heater immediately.
