How Long Does a Water Heater Last?
Having a household water heater last for your home’s entire lifetime would be nice, but that simply isn’t a realistic scenario. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of red-deer recommends hiring our technicians to perform preventative maintenance. This routine service can potentially help you extend your plumbing appliance’s lifespan for years. Manufacturers design most residential water heaters with a lifespan of 11 to 20 years before homeowners need to replace them. Professional repairs can ensure your home’s water heater stays in optimal working condition, but your model probably won’t last longer than a couple of decades. You can trust our professionals’ extensive training and years of experience to help you determine if we can repair your water heater or if your best option is to invest in an upgrade. Water heater replacement isn’t always a bad move since our company offers installation services at competitive prices. Furthermore, upgrading your old appliance to a newer model with better energy efficiency can reduce your energy bills every month.
The Benefits of a Home Water Heater Upgrade
While our technicians can repair any residential water heater make and model, replacing your current appliance sometimes makes better sense. Frequent and escalating repairs might be costing too much money, or your water heater might simply be past its useful lifespan and fail to support your hot water needs. A new water heater model will offer more efficiency than your last appliance and help you spend less on your monthly utility costs. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of red-deer is available to replace your old model with a new appliance and verify it adheres to federally mandated standards. If you have an outdated water heater that produces lukewarm water at best, it’s time to invest in an upgrade. Our technicians will work with you to recommend the best water heater option for your home by considering factors like how much water your household needs and any space limitations. Let us replace your current failing water heater with any of the following plumbing fixture types:
- Conventional Water Heaters – Traditional water heaters have large tanks to store water, and they heat this water using gas or electrical energy. Our team can install many sizes of traditional or conventional tanks based on your space limitations and how much hot water you need. Installing an efficient conventional water heater could give you up to 7% savings on your heating bills.
- Tankless Water Heaters – This newer water heater version is more compact than other options and doesn’t occupy much space. Tankless water heaters give you instant hot water whenever you need it. Homes with space limitations or households that can’t wait for an appliance to heat their water choose tankless water heaters. Your investment can drop your heating bill by up to 30%.
- Hybrid Water Heaters – Your monthly energy costs can drop by as much as 60% by upgrading to a combination water heater. Hybrid water heaters combine heat pumps with conventional tank storage water heaters.
