Selected Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes—most installations or replacements require a plumbing permit and inspection.
Typically 2–4 hours for a tank-style heater, depending on hookups, venting, and whether old equipment needs removal.
That depends on your energy costs, availability of gas, usage patterns, and recovery rate. We’ll help you choose the best fit.
Consider replacing if you notice leaks, rust, inconsistent hot water, rumbling sounds, or your heater is over 10 years old.
The T&P valve prevents dangerous overpressure or temperature. It’s a required safety device and should be tested or replaced whenever you service your heater.
Small leaks may sometimes be repaired, but leaks at the base of the tank usually mean it’s time for replacement to avoid failure.
Often yes—especially if your home has a check valve or backflow preventer. An expansion tank handles pressure surges caused by heated water.
We recommend flushing once a year to remove sediment buildup, which helps extend the tank’s life and improves efficiency.
No—it’s strongly recommended to hire a licensed plumber. Water heater installation involves gas or high-voltage connections, permit work, and safety components.
We’ll assess the issue, test for leaks or pressure problems, repair or replace faulty parts (like valves or heating elements), then test the unit again for safety and performance.
