Frequently Asked Questions

My water heater is making a popping noise. What does that mean?

Popping or banging sounds are typically caused by a buildup of sediment and mineral scale at the bottom of your water heater tank. As the burner heats the water, steam bubbles form under the sediment, causing the noise. This buildup reduces efficiency and can damage the tank over time.

How long should a water heater last?

 A conventional tank-style water heater typically lasts 8-12 years. Tankless water heaters can last 20 years or more with proper maintenance. If your unit is approaching the end of its expected lifespan and requires a major repair, replacement is often the more economical choice.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

This decision depends on the age of your unit, the type and cost of the required repair, and its overall condition. We will always provide an honest, professional recommendation. A minor repair on a newer unit is often worthwhile, while a major repair on a 10-year-old unit may mean replacement is the smarter investment.
