WHEN SHOULD I REPLACE MY WATER HEATER?
Most hot water heaters will last around eight to twelve years. Once they’ve been around for this long, they start to lose their efficiency and become more prone to failure. And while most people wait until their water heater has catastrophically failed before shopping around for a replacement water heater, there are benefits to upgrading your unit before it dies!
Water heaters are among the top energy users in your home—in many cases, they account for as much as 25% of your home’s energy use. As they get older and less efficient, this number climbs even higher, and the unit gets more and more expensive to operate.
Don’t wait until your water heater fails or becomes inefficient before you consider a replacement. Many options exist today that will keep your home running comfortably and also save you money.
Do Tankless Water Heaters Save Money?
One solution for saving energy (and money) on hot water is to install a tankless water heater. Because tankless water heaters don’t store heated water, they use less energy and save you money on your utility bills. Plus, they save space, eliminate the risk of water damage due to a leaking water storage tank, and last up to twice as long as a conventional water heater.
Don’t DIY Your Water Heater Installation!
You may have looked up videos about how to install a water heater yourself, but our team cautions strongly against trying to DIY anything related to water heaters—particularly ones fueled by natural gas. Hooking up gas lines should always be done by a professional. Plumbers must get a special certification in order to perform gas plumbing services, and the average homeowner simply doesn’t have the knowledge to do these tasks safely.
Gas leaks can make your family sick from carbon monoxide poisoning and even cause dangerous house fires. Plus, improperly installed electric water heaters can leak steam that causes mold growth and water damage. Save yourself the frustration and cost of necessary repairs (or even replacement) down the line and hire a professional to begin with.

WATER HEATER REPAIR FAQS
The most common thing that affects water heaters is sediment buildup, especially as the water heater gets older. When water is heated, minerals like calcium and magnesium collect along the sides of the tank and the burner. If these minerals are not filtered out of the water heater, they form a sediment barrier that will settle on the burner and seriously affect your water heater’s performance. The best way to keep your water heater safe? Call Crown Plumber for water heater inspection or water filtration!
Well pump replacement services range in cost depending on the well size, materials used, and installation complexity. In most cases, it’s less expensive to replace a shallow well pump than one that is submerged in a deep well. At Crown Plumber, we have financing solutions to help qualifying homeowners afford the cost of well pump replacement.
The flame should be blue with yellow tips. If it appears more yellow-orange, this is a sign of incomplete burning, which could lead to not only poor water heater performance but also the production of deadly carbon monoxide! Check your burner every now and then, particularly if you’re experiencing problems with your hot water.
That depends on the cause of the problem. If the temperature and pressure (T&P) valve fails to turn off your water heater when the temperature or pressure is too high, your water heater could explode. However, many water heater leaks are caused by other issues (such as sediment buildup that leads to corrosion), so the explosion of your tank isn’t the top concern. In any case, you should call a plumber if you notice any type of leak around your water heater.
A standard water heater is comprised of a large tank that holds around 60 to 100 gallons of water. The appliance must store the water between 120 and 140 degrees F at all times so it’s ready at a moment’s notice. This requires a great deal of energy and puts incredible strain on the unit, which is why storage water heaters wear out after only eight to 12 years.
Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, generate hot water on demand. Powerful electric elements or gas burners create an impressive temperature rise when you call for hot water. Once the water turns off, so does the tankless unit, saving energy and reducing wear and tear.Learn more about the difference between a traditional and tankless water heater.
Yes. Just like your furnace and air conditioner, your water heater needs regular tune-ups to perform at its peak. The main reasons to schedule water heater maintenance include:
- Increased efficiency
- Lower utility bills
- Fewer breakdowns
- Lower repair costs
- Longer life span
When you turn on a hot water faucet for the first time in a few hours, you may find yourself waiting impatiently for 30 seconds or more for the water to heat up. Once it starts coming out hot, it stays that way for a while. This happens because several feet of pipes separate the faucet from the water heater, and the water cools as it sits unused in the pipes. The further away a fixture is from the water heater, the longer it takes for the water to heat up.
Of course, if you keep running out of hot water, your water heater could be failing, or there might be sediment buildup that needs to be flushed out of the tank.
It’s important to understand a phenomenon that occurs with tankless water heaters called the cold-water sandwich effect. This is when hot water flows from the tap followed by a few seconds of cold water before the water gets hot again. Cold-water sandwiches happen because tankless units turn off while not in use. It takes a moment for the burner or heating element to kick on when you call for hot water again, so a bit of cold water enters the pipe. This is normal and doesn’t require tankless water heater repair
The most common causes of a leaky water heater include:
- Broken drain valves
- Corrosion on the bottom of the tank
- Loose water line connections
- Broken temperature/pressure relief valves
The best way to diagnose and repair a water heater leak is to call a trusted plumbing company.
