Get matched with top water heater pros in Jackson, NC

Q: Is a tankless water heater better than a storage tank water heater?

• <div><p>Tankless water heaters are more expensive than those with a storage tank, but they come with some impressive benefits that most homeowners find worth the higher investment. Most importantly, they provide unlimited hot water, so you&rsquo;ll never run out like you would with a storage tank. Tankless heaters are also more efficient, so comparing gallon-for-gallon, you&rsquo;ll spend less on hot water with a tankless heater. Tankless water heaters are also smaller, require less maintenance, and tend to last longer than storage tank water heaters.</p></div>

Q: Is it hard to install your own water heater?

• <div><p>It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you&rsquo;ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don&rsquo;t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.</p></div>

Q: How often should electric water heaters be replaced?

• <div><p>Electric water heaters typically last 10 to 20 years, though proper maintenance can extend their lifespan. If your unit is over a decade old and showing signs of inefficiency&mdash;such as higher energy bills, frequent repairs, or leaks&mdash;replacement is a smart investment. Tankless models last over 20 years, which can make them a longer-lasting alternative to traditional tank water heaters.</p></div>

Q: Can a heat pump water heater work in colder climates?

• <div><p>Yes, a heat pump water heater can work in colder climates but it&rsquo;s much more effective where it&rsquo;s warm. The reason is that the heat pump needs ambient warmth in the air to compress. The less warmth, the more compression required, thus using more electricity and offsetting the energy-efficient benefits. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you install a water heater without a permit?

• <div><p>Installing a water heater without a permit can result in high fines&mdash;as much as hundreds of dollars per day, in some areas. It can also void your homeowners' insurance and cause problems when selling your home because it violates local building codes and safety regulations.</p></div>
