Signs that your water heater needs servicing include lack of hot water, strange noises coming from the unit, leaks, or a sudden increase in your utility bill. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to call a professional for an inspection and necessary repairs.
It’s recommended to have your water heater serviced at least once a year to ensure it continues to function efficiently. Regular maintenance can help prevent unexpected breakdowns and extend the lifespan of your water heater.
A tank water heater stores and heats water in a tank, while a tankless water heater heats water on demand, providing hot water instantly. Both types have their advantages and it’s best to consult with a professional to determine which type is best for your specific needs.
While some minor maintenance tasks can be performed by homeowners, it’s generally recommended to have water heater installation and repairs done by a licensed professional. This ensures the work is done safely and up to code.
When choosing a new water heater, consider factors such as the size of your household, the fuel type available (electric, gas, or solar), energy efficiency, and the initial cost and long-term operating costs. Consulting with a professional can help you make an informed decision.

The water heater is essential for supplying hot water for showers, cooking, cleaning, bathing, laundry, and countless other household tasks. A broken water heater is extremely stressful and you may be wondering whether yours will need to be repaired or replaced. Usually, repair is best suited for water heaters that aren’t very old and just need a broken component replaced. However, not all problems can be solved with a simple repair.
Plumbers often recommend replacement when the water heater is:
Your plumber can inspect your water heater to identify the cause of the malfunction and assess the overall condition of the unit. Working with a reliable, honest, and licensed local plumbing company will ensure that you will have the most cost effective options and a job that is done right the first time.
When replacement is needed, the main options include gas or electric water heaters in tank and tankless models.
Traditional Water Heaters
The conventional model with a storage tank to hold heated water is the least expensive option. It is important to keep in mind that you are limited to the amount of hot water that can be held in the tank, so be sure to get a tank that is big enough for your needs.
The benefits of tankless water heaters include:
A tankless water heater works by providing hot water on demand, only creating heat when it is needed. This means that energy is not wasted in keeping a large tank of warm water heated all the time. Tankless water heaters use an electric heating element or gas burner to quickly heat cold incoming water as it passes through the unit’s exchanger. The heater can then provide a continuous stream of hot water without needing a storage tank or large amount of space.

Your plumber can help you explore the options, compare products, and select the ideal type and right size unit for your home.
