Water Heater Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
What are the signs of a bad water heater?
Common symptoms include inconsistent water temperature, water pooling at the base of the tank, popping noises, rusty water, or hot water running out too fast.
How long do water heaters last in Santa Clara County?
Most standard tank water heaters last 8–12 years, depending on water quality and maintenance. If yours is older than that, replacement may be more cost-effective than repairs.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
If the unit is less than 7 years old and the issue is minor (like a failed thermostat or element), repair often makes sense. If it’s leaking or over 10 years old, replacement is usually the better choice.
How much does it cost to replace a water heater?
Installation costs vary based on unit size, type (gas or electric), and accessibility. Most homeowners can expect to spend between $1,200 and $2,500. We offer financing for qualifying upgrades.
Do you install energy-efficient water heaters?
Yes. We offer high-efficiency tank models and tankless upgrades, and we’ll help you understand your energy savings and rebate options.
