"Jeremy was very responsive and informative. I had a couple of other quotes that involved various iterations of "replace the old water heater and add these other features at the same time", and we were able to talk through the suggestions and determine what was really necessary. The final quote was very competitive, the new water heater is working great, and the installation itself was fast and without any problems that they couldn't solve without me!"

"Such great service!! My water heater went out in my rental property and they were able to hop on the phone with me right away and offer me a quote. Within the next 2 hours someone was at the property - they removed the old water heater and installed a brand new one and were on there way. Cobra Rooter & Plumbing was professional and quick! Will use again in the future."

"My husband is ill and I needed help. My water heater wasn't working so I called High Speed Plumbing. Donald was wonderful ! He arrived earlier than expected and was very personable. He found the problem quickly and replaced the water heater and some electrical problems. I had smelled plastic burning so I was very concerned. I now have hot water and am not concerned about a fire hazard. I would recommend this company and will call Donald the next time I have an issue. Great experience !!"

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

Several signs indicate your water heater may be failing or in need of replacement. Key indicators include:

  • Age: A water heater older than ten years is approaching the end of its typical lifespan.

  • Water Quality: If you notice rusty or discolored water from your hot water faucets, or a foul odor similar to rotten eggs or sulfur, it can signal internal corrosion.

  • Unusual Noises: Banging, rumbling, or popping sounds from the tank often mean sediment has built up, causing the unit to overheat.

  • Leaks: Any water pooling around the base of the tank or visible leaks are clear signs of failure.

  • Performance Issues: A decline in performance, such as water not getting hot enough, taking longer to heat up, low water pressure, or decreased efficiency, suggests the unit is struggling.

  • Visible Damage: Obvious rust and corrosion on the exterior of the tank can indicate a more serious internal problem.

While these signs often point to replacement, some issues may be fixable. It's best to consult a professional plumber to diagnose the problem before investing in a new unit.

Gas water heaters last between eight and 12 years on average. You can help them reach their maximum lifespan with regular cleanings, maintenance, and professional checkups, though don’t hesitate to swing for a full replacement if the total cost of repairs is greater than that of purchasing and installing a new unit. 

Unless you have previous plumbing experience or extensive experience with water heaters, you should avoid replacing your electric water heater yourself. This process involves disconnecting wiring and parts from the old water heater and reinstalling them onto the new one, among other difficult tasks. This job is best left to the pros to make sure that everything is connected correctly to avoid serious leaks or malfunctions.

Most hot water heater manufacturers recommend replacing the anode rod about once every three to five years. Anode rods sacrifice themselves by collecting iron, limestone, and other minerals that would otherwise corrode your hot water heater tank. This abuse wears them out long before your water heater does. Check the rod when you remove it and replace it if more than 50% of the metal has been consumed. Check the rod more frequently if you have hard water or use a water softener. 

While heat pump water heaters are more expensive than gas-powered water heaters, the ROI is higher for heat pump units. Not only are heat pump water heaters more energy efficient, meaning immediate savings on your energy bill, but they also last longer than traditional gas versions, meaning you won't have to buy them as often.
