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.

The staff from first contact to the two guys that came out were friendly and knowledgeable. Jack is a nice young man and he knew his job and did it well. Korey did the camera inspection and explained everything clearly to me. I need some more work done tomorrow beyond the drain cleaning done today so someone else is coming out to do that. I'm confident they will do the job well. I would recommend Hoover to anyone.

During a wind storm we recently had our gfi ruined in our bathroom. Hoover sent Greg D out the same day (literally within 2 hours) to look at our issue. He was able to quickly fix it and also suggested a surge protector on our box. Somehow we never thought of that and have had two power surges in the past two years (due to weather) and had previously lost a lot of electronics. He was able to install that as well while at our house, at a great price. In addition, he checked our other outlets while at the house to make sure they were all working properly. Highly recommend them for any electrical, plumbing, hvac or ac needs. My father recommened them to me and I'm glad he did!

Byron Sanders did an excellent job explaining the service he was performing today and walked me through showing me what he was seeing during his inspection. His explanations regarding what he saw were detailed, while ensuring I understood what was being said. Following his visit an email was sent thanking me for being a customer. The email also contained pictures of what he inspected. Thanks again to Byron Sanders for a positive inspection.

I haven’t had the work completed yet, but I wanted to share my experience so far. Hoover Plumbing has been very conscientious and thorough in the planning stage. Before moving forward, they are taking the time to consult with the inspector to ensure everything is done correctly and up to code, which I really appreciate. Aaron, in particular, was excellent. He took his time during the visit, was very conscientious, and didn’t rush through anything. It felt like he genuinely wanted to understand the situation and make sure everything was handled properly. I had multiple rooms that needed workmanship reviewed, and he went through each one carefully, giving each space the time and attention it required. He also made it clear that if the job moves forward, his goal is to make sure it’s done right the first time. So far I’m impressed, and I’m looking forward to receiving the quote and understanding what needs to be done. I also really value that he is coordinating with the inspector to ensure everything is handled properly from the start.
