"Fred from Streamline came the day after we contacted the company about a slow leak in our water heater. Since the appliance was 10 years old, we decided to replace it. Fred was friendly, efficient and effective. Within a few hours we had our new system in place."

Given their great service and the quality of their work, I thought their pricing was competitive. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again."

"We had to replace both heat pumps. We had a bit of a time crunch as 1 unit had died and the other was having trouble keeping up. David (Project Manager) made a point of walking us through everything we had to consider and made sure the new units we chose would meet our requirements. He did not push the larger, higher priced models. Everyone with the company was very professional and courteous, arranging their schedule to fit us in quickly. The workers were very thorough (job took 2 days) and made sure everything was cleaned up. We are glad we chose Cape Fear."

"I called in the morning and Chris came out in the afternoon, when I was available. He explained and showed me what the problem was. He didn't have a new water heater on his truck so Tim came about 45 mins. to bring one. Installation was fast and Chris was very professional. They will be the first ones I call if I have any other issues."

"In response to our request for an estimate to repair our hot water heater and to install a pressure reduction valve for the house, Mr. Parrish called promptly to schedule an appointment and then sent a plumber that day. He arrived on time, provided a very reasonable estimate, and was able to perform the work on the spot. We were very pleased."

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

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

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—such as higher energy bills, frequent repairs, or leaks—replacement is a smart investment. Tankless models last over 20 years, which can make them a longer-lasting alternative to traditional tank water heaters.

Installing a water heater without a permit can result in high fines—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.

If your water heater continues to have issues, you may wonder how long an electric water heat lasts. On average, these units last between 10 to 15 years. Following a proper maintenance schedule can help the water heater live to the end of its average lifespan or longer.

A tankless water heater with a flow rate of 10 GPM should replace a conventional 50-gallon water heater. To avoid a surprise cold shower or two and to keep your energy costs in check, it's important to replace a conventional tanked water heater with the equivalent tankless water heater. Your household size and the number of hot-water-using devices you use at once can help you determine the best-size tankless water heater.
