How Long Should a Water Heater Last?

Traditional tank-style water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years. Lifespan depends on usage, water quality, and regular servicing. If your unit is over a decade old and showing signs of wear, it may be time to consider replacement.

What Size Water Heater Do I Need?

The right size depends on your household size and daily hot water usage. A family of four, for example, may need a 50-gallon tank or a mid-size unit. We can assess your needs and recommend the best fit for your home.

Should I Repair or Replace My Water Heater?

If the unit is still fairly new and the issue is minor, a repair may be the best option. However, frequent problems, rising energy bills, or an aging system often point to replacement being more cost-effective. We will give you honest advice based on your specific situation.

Is Your Water Heater Showing These Signs? Schedule a Service!

Inconsistent Water Temperature

If your hot water runs out quickly or fluctuates between hot and cold, there may be an issue with the heating element or thermostat. These problems often get worse over time if left unchecked.

Strange Noises Coming from the Tank

Popping, banging, or rumbling sounds usually mean there is sediment buildup inside the tank. This reduces efficiency and puts extra strain on the unit.

Rust-Colored or Cloudy Water

Discolored water can be a sign of internal corrosion or rusting parts in your water heater. It may also indicate that the anode rod needs to be replaced.

Leaks Around the Base of the Heater

Moisture or puddles near the tank suggest a leak that could lead to water damage or complete tank failure. Leaks are always a sign to call a professional right away.

Water Takes Too Long to Heat Up

Slow recovery time can mean your system is aging or working harder than it should. It may be time for repairs or a more energy-efficient upgrade.

My Experience with PV Plumbing Resolving a Challenging Water Leak On a recent Sunday, I reached out to PC Plumbing, hoping to resolve a stubborn water leak under my sink. Despite it being a weekend, I was pleasantly surprised when I was assured that a technician could come by the very next day—Monday, which happened to be Labor Day. I appreciated the prompt response and willingness to accommodate me on holiday. True to their word, the technician, Aidin arrived right on time for the appointment. The leak had been particularly difficult to pinpoint, as water was draining beneath the sink, but its origin remained elusive. The technician began by thoroughly inspecting the P trap and other pipes connected to the sink. To get a clearer view and locate the exact source of the problem, he used a specialized camera, sending it down the pipe. The camera snaked its way through the plumbing, almost reaching out to the street. This thorough investigation helped ensure that nothing was overlooked. Ultimately, Aiden determined that the line was all clear, and there were no major blockages or issues extending to the street. His professionalism, punctuality, and methodical approach left me feeling reassured. It was found by Aiden that there was a splint in the fabric and plastic faucet line that only leaked when the sprayer was on. Thanks to Aiden at PV Plumbing, my persistent leak was addressed with diligence and expertise. I am grateful for their responsive service—even on a holiday—and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of plumbing help.

PV plumbing was excellent to work with. They communicated well, showed up on time, and did excellent work. We had them work on our tankless hot water heater, and they showed great knowledge. I would definitely use them again.

What's worse than needing a hot water tank replacement on a Friday of a three-day holiday weekend? PV Plumbing to the rescue! With low expectations about help before Tuesday, and days of cold showers, I spoke with AJ, who said, "We just had a cancellation and can be at your home in about 30 minutes." That's amazing, I thought. But how much will this cost? In summary, I received an excellent price from AJ, and outstanding service from Aiden. What more can anyone ask for? Thanks AJ! Thanks Aiden! My family has hot water once again thanks to you.

Excellent service/very knowledgeable! We initially had another plumber look at our water heater and they wouldn’t fix it and suggested replacing it. I called PV Plumbing and they were at our house that afternoon. Knew exactly what was going on and replaced the worn part quickly!
