With proper maintenance, electric water heaters typically last 10-15 years. Factors affecting lifespan include water quality, usage, and maintenance frequency.
Generally: 30-40 gallons for 1-2 people, 40-50 gallons for 2-3 people, 50-80 gallons for 4+ people. We'll help you choose based on your usage patterns.
Common causes include tripped breaker, failed heating element (upper or lower), faulty thermostat, or tripped high-temperature cutoff. We diagnose and repair these issues.
If your water heater is under 8-10 years old and the repair is minor, repair makes sense. If it's older, has multiple problems, or is leaking from the tank, replacement is usually better.
We recommend flushing your water heater annually to remove sediment that reduces efficiency and shortens lifespan. This is especially important in areas with hard water.
