How long do water heaters usually last?

Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years, while tankless models can last 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. Factors like water quality, usage, and regular care affect their lifespan. Scheduling annual maintenance helps extend the life of your system.

What are signs my water heater needs repair?

Common warning signs include inconsistent hot water, strange noises coming from the tank, rusty water, or visible leaks. Higher energy bills can also indicate your unit is working harder than it should. Addressing problems early often prevents full breakdowns.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

Repairs are usually best for newer units with minor issues, while older or heavily damaged systems are often more cost-effective to replace. We evaluate the condition, age, and efficiency of your unit before making a recommendation. Our goal is always to provide the smartest long-term solution.

Do tankless water heaters really save money?

Yes, tankless models heat water only when you need it, which reduces energy use compared to traditional tanks that keep water hot all day. While the upfront cost is higher, many homeowners save on monthly utility bills. Over time, the efficiency and longer lifespan often make tankless systems a worthwhile investment.

How often should I schedule water heater maintenance?

Annual maintenance is recommended for both tank and tankless models. Flushing the tank, checking components, and removing sediment buildup help keep your unit efficient and extend its life. Regular service also reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns.

Choosing Between Tankless and Traditional Water Heaters

Traditional water heaters store hot water in a tank, keeping it ready for use throughout the day. While reliable, they can run out of hot water during heavy demand and often take up more space. Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, heat water on demand, providing a continuous supply without the need for storage. They are compact and energy-efficient, but may require a larger upfront investment. At Hoover Electric, Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, we install and service both types, helping you choose the best option for your home’s needs and budget.

We needed a new Panel. Sean came out and took a look. We had the original panel was Pushmadic breakers Sean explained Google that they were discontinued around 1984. Sean was very down to earth, Our DTE lines coming in were also outdated I sulation was wide open. The next Day Michael came out with two workers, The entire job was completed in one day. They also installed two can lights in out living room. These Folks did a outstanding job. Michael explained that code now requires a outside disconnect just incase of a emergency people can shut off the whole house. I Would say if you need of this service you would be foolish to call anyone else.

Very good workmanship and customer service. Steven replaced a toilet and toilet flange. I was concerned because my house is 1960s, so old cast-iron sewage pipes. Steven did get the new flange to seat properly, with a very clean caulk line at the base of the toilet. I’m a very satisfied customer!

Hoover did an excellent job with our underground sewer repair and refurbishment. Needed to replace a section of pipe which collapsed and then a follow-up with trenchless liner install (CIPP) from the house, out to the connection with the city main. An expensive repair, but it would be with any company. They were able to help us out and reduce from their original estimate. The cost is in the equipment for the UV light cured pipe liner. Hoover’s technicians were all friendly and professional and answered all my many questions. Would recommend them to anyone facing similar circumstances.

Tyler came out and was completely professional and personable. I assumed I was just looking for an unclogging, however Tyler was able to find what the real problem and was able to get me scheduled for a repair because unfortunately it wasn't a simple unclogging. From the first phone call to their main office to the end result has been great!
