"I don't live here, but was in town, and they accommodated my schedule. The design specialist John came with the crew in the morning to get everything started. The crew was exceptional too and left everything clean and neat, and showed me how to use the new thermostat before they left. Great job!"

"Experienced, knowledgeable, courteous, and was able to complete the job in 1 afternoon... Joey had everything to complete the task the first time and was quite focused in the de-install of old water heater and replaced it with a tankless unit and after he installed it, showed me how to operate it and what to look for if any issues. He submitted the warranty for me and will provide free inspection in 1 year... His boss also called me the next day asking about the install and if any issues and if his employee performed as expected.. I'm very happy with the results and would recommend Payless Water Heaters to my neighbors and friends.."

"Showed up onsite quickly to review the work, discuss options, & provide quote. Expensive, but rep'd a quality brand, worked quickly, & quality work. I wish the electrician they pulled in would have talked it over with me before doing their portion, I was not happy with that part."

Pablo even went on roof to inspect my panels and noted missing flashing over roof penetration, assisting me to visually inspect the issue. Would highly recommend."

"From the introduction of the product and discussion by Alexander Hall to communicating with scheduling it was wonderful. Installation by their team was clean, thorough and they were truly knowledgeable. The unit works well with a quiet compressor and maintains a wonderfully comfortable home environment. Their follow up and service is truly very nice . I highly recommend the entire team if you are looking for an AC and Heater replacement"

Water Heaters questions, 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.

If you're replacing a broken water heater, now is a great time to make sure you're selecting a unit that has the right capacity for your household. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a small 50-gallon to 60-gallon tank is sufficient for households with one to three people. A medium-sized 80-gallon tank is considered ideal for three to four people. A larger tank may be needed if your household has four to six people.

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.

You should replace your gas water heater when it’s reached the end of its lifespan, which is a maximum of 12 years in most cases. If your unit is over a decade old and showing signs of inefficiency, leaks, or frequent malfunctions, it may be time to replace your water heater. Research how to best maintain your gas water heater to help extend its lifespan.

Signs your electric water heater is failing include inconsistent water temperature, reduced hot water supply, longer heating times, or discolored water (rusty or cloudy). Unusual noises like popping or rumbling suggest sediment buildup, while leaks or corrosion around the tank signal structural damage. If your unit is over 10 to 15 years old and experiencing frequent issues, it may be time to replace it.
