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.

Extremely satisfied with Hoover and this time specifically with the work Jason did. He was knowledgeable and gave me options about the leak. He also took care of some other plumbing issues that he noticed. He did not push me to do work but showed me and explained it. Some of the issues I had put off already but I had total confidence in him and had the work done. No plumbing work is free, but I felt the price was fair. I’ve had Hoover covering me on electrical, plumbing and ac work (Nolan was awesome with the ac work). Hoover must treat its employees well because I have never been disappointed with any of them.

I had an electrical issue where the lights in some rooms went off all of a sudden. Someone from DTE came to take a look at the issue and asked me to contact an electrician. I reached out to Hoover and Jared was sent to help with the issue. Jared was extremely methodical in his approach of finding the root cause for the problem and replacing the wiring which had been damaged. He also explained his work flow clearly and got the power restored in the rooms as quick as possible.

Update: I had Jason D stop by for a plumbing inspection and a water heater flush and he did a great job with explaining things to look out for immediately and long term.

We have had plumbing work and a new hot water tank put in by them. Very nice and thorough. Had a few hiccups, but they took care of it quickly and efficiently. Today we had a furnace inspection by Jordan and he was fantastic. Very personable, polite, and knowledgeable.

We also had electrical work, which was fantastic.

We also had them put waterlines to our fridge.

They inspected and did some repairs on our air conditioner.

Today we had a new furnace installed by Dee Algahmi and his assistant David. They were both respectful and Dee was so thorough. It Is never pleasurable to have a lot of work done in your home, but they were very respectful of our house, did a fabulous job, and we look forward to using our new furnace. Thanks Dee!!!

We’ve been using them for a few years and are very happy with their work. They’re not the cheapest but they standby what they do and always come through for you.

D was awesome! What a hard worker! We did not expect our furnace to go out during the coldest part of winter. Dee and team got it done! He explained everything simply and showed us all the work done. Showed us how to change the filter (hands on). He went over the humidifier, where the lines go, on/off etc. Explained how the model of furnace we choose works and sounds (and he was spot on!). Told us we would get a call to set up inspection date and time (we did). D was very thorough, super friendly, polite, and a super worker! Great job! Highly recommend D and Hoover!
