Water Heater FAQ's
Best water heater installs in the Houston area!
Most common plumbing questions.
What size water heater do I need?
On average, you want between 10-15 gallons of hot water per person. This number can change based on your lifestyle.
How long does a water heater typically last?
The average lifespan for a water heater is 12-15 years IF it is flushed at least once a year. The anode rod also needs to be replaced on a regular basis. It is also recommended that the T&P Valve be replaced at least once every 3 years. Water quality, plumbing quality, and usage play role in lifespan. We offer a program that takes care of all of this. Check out our Protection Plans.
How long does it take to install a water heater?
This answer depends upon the scope of work and level of difficulty. A simple swap in the garage will not take as long as an area that needs code required upgrades in the attic. Typically, it only takes 2-4 hours.
How long is the water heater warranty?
Most water heaters come with a manufacture warranty of 6 years, but the water heaters we install come with either a 10 or 12 year warranty. There are warranty kits available that can increase that time. We also provide a way for our water heaters to have lifetime warranties.
Can my water heater be repaired?
Repair is an option, but only if the unit is still in good enough condition. We use manufacture specific replacement parts to keep from voiding the existing warranty. Sometimes, the water heater is in too poor of a condition and needs to be replaced.
What are some of the most common residential models?
Fuel source: Natural Gas, Liquid Propane, and Electric.
Gallon Capacity: 30, 40, and 50.
Height: Short, Medium, and Tall.
How do I know what I currently have?
You can check the data tag on your unit. The sticker will look similar to the one in the image below. Copy the Model# and Serial, and go to the manufacture's website. Most websites have a way for you to Verify the Warranty. Find that option and input the required information.
