Regular hot water heater maintenance extends your system's lifespan and helps prevent unexpected failures during inconvenient times. Annual service includes checking anode rods, testing relief valves, draining sediment buildup for tank systems, and descaling for tankless units to prevent mineral buildup that causes efficiency loss and system failures. When repairs become necessary, addressing issues early prevents minor problems like failing thermostats or heating elements from turning into complete system failures requiring costly emergency replacements. Whatever your hot water heater needs, Eaton's Heating provides professional service, honest recommendations about repair versus replacement, and quality workmanship you can count on—contact us today to schedule maintenance, request a repair, or get a free estimate on a new installation.
Common warning signs include no hot water or inconsistent water temperature, unusual noises like rumbling or popping, visible leaks around the tank or connections, rusty or discolored water, frequent pressure relief valve discharge, or hot water running out much faster than normal. For tankless systems, error codes on the display often indicate specific issues. If your hot water heater is over 10 years old and showing these symptoms, replacement may be more cost-effective than repair.
Traditional tank hot water heaters store 40 to 80 gallons of heated water ready for use, providing consistent supply for multiple fixtures but consuming energy to maintain temperature around the clock. Tankless hot water heaters heat water on demand as it flows through the unit, providing endless hot water without storage limitations but requiring higher upfront costs and potentially needing electrical upgrades. Tankless systems are more energy-efficient and last longer, while tank systems cost less to install and work well for most households. We help you choose the right system based on your hot water usage, budget, and home infrastructure.
Traditional tank hot water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years with proper maintenance, while tankless systems can last 15 to 20 years or longer. Factors affecting lifespan include water quality, maintenance frequency, and usage patterns. Annual maintenance significantly extends system life by addressing sediment buildup in tanks and mineral scaling in tankless units. If your hot water heater is approaching or exceeding these age ranges, it's wise to start planning for replacement rather than waiting for an emergency failure.
Hot water heater installation costs vary based on system type, capacity, and installation complexity. A standard tank replacement with similar sizing typically costs less than upgrading to a tankless system, which may require gas line upgrades, electrical work, and different venting. We provide free written estimates that break down all costs clearly, including equipment, labor, permits, and any necessary modifications. Flexible financing options are available to make installations more affordable.
