Expert Water Heater Solutions in California
A depleted hot water supply is something everyone hates. Why do so many Californians have to deal with this issue all too often?
Why Your California Home Runs Out of Hot Water
There are several reasons why the hot water might be running out too quickly, including:
- Multiple appliances using hot water
- Old, inefficient water heater
- Insufficiently sized unit
- Broken dip tube
- Thermostat issues
- Sediment buildup
In some cases, the best way to avoid running out of hot water is by installing a tankless water heater. Tankless models provide homeowners with access to an unlimited supply of hot water whenever they need it. Tankless users will also experience the benefits of a longer system lifespan and savings on energy bills.
Addressing Water Heater Leaks in Your Home
Why Does My Water Heater Keep Leaking?
Even a small amount of water leaking from a heater can cause significant damage to floors, walls, and more in a home. Instead of just cleaning up the puddle of water and moving on, it’s important to discover why the water heater is leaking and seek a quick solution. Some leak causes, such as faulty inlet and outlet connections or malfunctioning T/P valves, may require a simple fix. When the leak is the result of corrosion on the bottom of the tank, however, it’s time to call a professional plumber to replace the water heater.
Our water heater installers are here to advise homeowners on what systems will best suit their needs and budget. Once a quality model is selected, we make sure it’s installed correctly and set up for optimal performance.
Water Heater Life Expectancy
Water heaters typically last between 6 to 12 years. While water heater replacement is commonly recommended at the 10-year mark, the actual need for replacement may occur either before or after this depending on several factors.
Factors affecting the lifespan of a water heater include:
- Quality of the water heater
- Quality of the water
- Proper installation
- Frequency of usage
- Periodic maintenance and flushing
- Timely repairs
