How To Know Your Houston Water Heater Needs Replacement

Properly serviced water heaters can last for decades, but the average service life is 10 years for typical tank-style water heaters, while tankless models may last up to 25 years. Here are some of the most common signs that it may be time to replace your water heater:

• You run out of hot water too quickly.
• The water never gets hot enough.
• The temperature fluctuates widely.
• The water heater is making tapping or knocking sounds.
• The water is rusty, cloudy, or foul-smelling.
• Repairs are needed too often.
• The tank or heat exchanger is leaking.

Some problems like uneven heating or temperature fluctuations can be fixed by cleaning the burners or gas water heaters, replacing heating elements on electric models, replacing the thermostat, or removing scale and sediment.

Water heater repairs make sense if the problem is simple, the water heater is in good condition otherwise, and it’s less than 10 years old for standard models or less than 20 years old for tankless water heaters.

If your water heater is older, needs frequent repairs, or has major problems like extensive corrosion, a leaking tank, or a damaged heat exchanger, it’s likely best to replace it.

Tank-Style Water Heaters vs. Tankless Water Heaters for Houston Homes

Conventional tank-style water heaters keep a large volume of water at all times, so it’s always ready for use. They can be powered by natural gas, propane, or electricity and are vulnerable to corrosion and leaks in the tank.

Tankless water heaters use large amounts of energy for short periods to heat water on demand, shortly after a hot water tap is opened. They’re vulnerable to limescale and sediment accumulations in the heat exchanger, and both gas and electric models are available.

Tank-Style Water Heaters: Pros & Cons for Cypress & Bellaire Homes

Tank-style water heaters offer proven, cost-effective performance, and when they’re sized properly for your home, they rarely run out of hot water. They are available nearly anywhere and are less expensive to buy and install than tankless water heaters. Repairs also tend to be less expensive.

Tank-style water heaters do have a limited water supply, the tank takes up plenty of room, and it has about half the service life of a tankless water heater.

Tankless Water Heaters: Pros & Cons for Cypress & Bellaire Homes

Tankless water heaters offer a nearly unlimited hot water supply when installed correctly, and because they don’t constantly heat water in a tank, they tend to be significantly more efficient. This can translate into lower utility costs, as long as you don’t use more hot water, thanks to the unlimited supply.

Tankless water heaters are also significantly smaller, increasing your installation options, and they last about twice as long as tank-style water heaters.

Tankless water heaters are significantly more expensive, however, and they may need costly upgrades to your electrical or gas service to function correctly. They’re also not as easy to repair as conventional water heaters, and they’re more vulnerable to hard water and other water quality issues.

Why Hire a Pro To Install Your Water Heater?

A standard or tankless water heater replacement takes skill and experience to complete safely, as it involves working with plumbing, natural gas, and electrical systems. It’s not something a typical homeowner should try, plus many local codes require a licensed contractor to perform water heater replacement.
