"I hired Posiden to convert my traditional water heater to a new tankless water heater. David was quick to respond, offered great prices, and completed the work when he said he would. Itâ s difficult to find reliable work but Poseidon Plumbing went above and beyond and did a great job. Iâ ll be calling them for all my needs in the future."

"Gabriel and his crew showed up when they said they would, and finished the work on schedule (new water heater installation). He came out the following day to look into an issue with the how water pipe going into the kitchen and didn't charge me, which I appreciated. I would call on them again for other plumbing work."

"Trio Heating and Air was an amazing company to work with! About a month ago I had Adrian come out and give me a quote on a new furnace for my home and he was so knowledgeable and easy to understand on what type of system I was needing for my home to lower my bill. We went with Trio and they scheduled the install to be done the very next day! Ever since then the furnace has been working so good they set the thermostat up just right I barely had to change it when it become cold outside. It was such an easy and fast process. I would defiantly recommend Trio Heating and Air for any for your heating and cooling needs!"

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

Replacing facilitates energy savings, decreases repair frequency, and aligns with modern safety regulations, maximizing safety.

The time it takes to install or replace a water heater depends on the type of heater and the complexity of the job. A professional can typically replace a standard tank-style water heater in one to three hours. However, if the work area is tight, such as a small closet or crawl space, the job could take four to five hours. Replacing an existing tankless unit takes about two to three hours, while upgrading from a tank-style to a tankless water heater is more complex and can take four to six hours. The project will take longer if you are switching fuel sources, such as installing a gas heater which can add about an hour to the timeline, or if the unit needs to be relocated.

The average water heater holds between 40 and 60 gallons, but the exact amount of water that comes out during draining will depend on your unit’s capacity. The amount of time it takes to drain a water heater averages from 10 to 30 minutes.

Any item that can hold on to moisture and encourage mold growth should be discarded and replaced following water damage. Upholstered items, such as armchairs and couches, and soft items, such as mattresses, usually must be thrown away once they've taken on a lot of water. Soft furniture is difficult to dry out, creating an inviting environment for mold.

You may also need to replace hardwood furniture following water damage if you're unable to fully dry it out. If you have appliances and electronics that have been fully submerged in water, particularly sewage, you'll need to replace those, too.

The lifespan of a water heater depends on its type, usage, and maintenance schedule. Traditional tank-style water heaters typically last between 8 and 12 years, though the range can be as wide as 6 to 15 years. Within this category, gas models often last 8-12 years, while electric models may last 10-15 years. In contrast, tankless water heaters have a significantly longer lifespan, often lasting up to 20 years or more. Factors like heavy usage, hard water, and sediment buildup can shorten a unit's life. To extend its lifespan, it is crucial to perform regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank annually and scheduling professional inspections. If your unit is over a decade old and shows signs of rust, leaks, strange noises, or inconsistent heating, it is likely time for a replacement.
