Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8-12 years, while tankless models can last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. Factors affecting lifespan include water quality, usage patterns, and maintenance frequency. Regular annual maintenance can extend your water heater's life significantly.
Generally, if your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair is minor (like a thermostat or heating element), repair makes sense. If it's over 10 years old, leaking from the tank, or repair costs exceed 50% of replacement cost, it's usually more economical to replace. We'll give you an honest assessment.
For tank water heaters: 1-2 people typically need 30-40 gallons, 2-3 people need 40-50 gallons, 3-4 people need 50-60 gallons, and 5+ people need 60-80 gallons. For tankless, we calculate based on flow rate (GPM) and temperature rise needed. We'll assess your specific needs during our visit.
Tankless water heaters cost more upfront but offer benefits: 20-30% energy savings, endless hot water, longer lifespan (15-20 years), and space savings. They're ideal for larger families or homes with high hot water demand. The payback period is typically 5-10 years depending on usage.
Water heater installation costs vary based on the type and complexity. We provide free, detailed quotes before any work begins. Our pricing includes the unit, installation labor, permits, disposal of the old unit, and our 1-year workmanship warranty. Contact us for a no-obligation estimate.
