Q: Does homeowners insurance cover a water heater?

• <div><p>Homeowners' insurance covers water heaters under certain circumstances. If your water heater is damaged due to a covered event, like a fire or burst pipe, your policy may pay for repairs or replacement. However, insurance won&rsquo;t cover wear and tear, old age, or neglect. If a malfunctioning water heater causes water damage, your policy may help with cleanup and repairs, but not fixing or replacing the heater itself unless the damage resulted from a covered event.</p></div>

Q: Does installing a water heater yourself void the warranty?

• <div><p>Several things can void the warranty for your water heater. Many water heater manufacturers state that installing your own will void the warranty. However, even if you get away with performing the task yourself, incorrect installation, lack of a building permit, and improper repair work, regardless of licensing status, can all render your water heater unprotected by both the manufacturer's warranty and any installation warranties. </p></div>

Q: Are water heater pans required by code?

• <div><p>Yes, most municipalities have codes that require water heaters to have pans. A pan is necessary when a water heater or hot water storage tank is installed in an area where water leakage could cause damage, such as an attic, second floor, or finished basement. Tankless water heaters are not required to have a pan since there is no storage tank.</p></div>

Q: How long do water heaters last?

• <div><p>The lifespan of your water heater depends on the type of water. For traditional water heaters, you can expect it to last between <b>8 and 12 years</b> if gas or <b>10 to 15 years</b> if electric. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-pros-and-cons-tankless-water-heaters.htm">Tankless water heaters</a> can last up to <b>20 years</b> with proper maintenance. The total number of years you&rsquo;ll get out of your water heater depends on the maintenance it receives and how much it&rsquo;s used.</p></div>

Q: Can I run a 30-amp water heater on a 40-amp breaker?

• <div><p>Yes, this would be an appropriate choice. In order to comply with the National Electric Code&rsquo;s rules, you'll need to install a circuit breaker that's 125% larger than the intended load. In this case, you'll multiply 30 amps by 1.25 to find the necessary breaker size. Plugging that equation in for your 30-amp water heater will leave you with a 37.6-amp breaker. If your current <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/water-heater-keeps-tripping-breaker.htm">water heater keeps tripping the breaker</a>, it might be time to talk to a plumber or electrician about upgrading your water heater's setup.</p></div>

"Repair Clinic sent me a water intake valve that had some scuff marks and an unnecessary fixture (which I thought nothing of, assuming it had been removed from a new dishwasher). When the part did not fix my dishwasher's issue, I ordered a circulation pump, which also failed to fix the issue, so I decided to return both parts. Repair Clinic blamed me for the scuff marks and extra fixture, which is unacceptable. They referenced their return policy which states that parts which have been installed cannot be returned, and denied me any form of refund. For all I know, the water intake valve was defective, and I have no recourse. Don't put any stock in the "No-Hassle 365-Day Returns" they proudly tout on their homepage. Instead, expect finger-pointing and uncaring dismissal. You are better off with one of their many competitors."
