Water Heater Installation FAQs
When should I replace my water heater?
Most traditional tank water heaters last 6-8 years, while tankless models can last up to 10-12 years with proper upkeep. If your unit is approaching this age—or showing signs like rusty or discolored water, noises (e.g. rumbling), frequent repairs, or decreased hot water capacity—it’s time to consider replacement for safety and reliability.
What are the benefits of tankless vs. tank water heaters?
Traditional tank water heaters store a set amount of hot water and are typically more affordable to install. However, they take up more space and can waste energy by reheating water throughout the day (standby loss).
Tankless water heaters heat water only when you need it, which can reduce energy usage and provide continuous hot water. They also take up less space and may qualify for energy rebates. However, they usually cost more upfront and may require gas or electrical upgrades during installation.
How long does installation take and what does it cost?
A standard tank water heater installation usually takes 2–3 hours, while a tankless unit or complex replacement (with venting or system upgrades) may take longer. Costs range from approximately $600 to $3,500—tank units on the lower end ($600–2,500), tankless on the higher end ($1,200–3,500). Add-ons like permits, gas‑line work, or electrical upgrades can raise the total.
What are the common signs that a water heater is failing?
Watch for:
- Leaks or pooling water around the heater
- Rusty, cloudy, or metallic water
- Strange noises like rumbling or banging (sediment buildup)
- Inconsistent water temperature or reduced flow
- Rising energy bills or increased repair frequency
These symptoms often mean your heater is aging or failing, especially if it’s over 10 years old.
Are there rebates or energy incentives for new water heaters?
Yes. Many tankless and ENERGY STAR® water heaters qualify for federal, state, or utility rebates, which can reduce total cost by 10–30%. Rebates vary by location and utility provider—ask your installer to check available local incentives before purchasing.
