Q: How long does it take to replace an electric water heater?

• <div><p>The amount of time it takes to replace an electric water heater will depend on the skill level of the individual who is replacing it. For example, if you replace it yourself&ndash;and you don&rsquo;t have much experience&ndash;you can expect the project to take a full day. </p><p>However, if you have a certified plumber or water heater contractor install your new water heater, it can take as little as 2 to 3 hours.</p></div>

Q: What size breaker does a hot water heater need?

• <div><p>When wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-breaker-for-water-heater.htm">what size of breaker for a water heater</a> is appropriate, the majority of hot water heaters need a 30-amp, two-pole breaker. Most residential water heaters use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts. If your appliance matches these measurements, a 30-amp breaker is likely perfect. Owners of point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts often find that a 30-amp breaker is adequate. Water heaters that use more watts than average may need a 40-amp breaker. Smaller units that use fewer watts could potentially use a 20-amp breaker.</p></div>

Q: How long do heat pump water heaters last?

• <div><p>Traditional gas or electric water heaters last an average of six to 11 years. However, with excellent maintenance, they can last up to 15 years. Heat pump water heaters, on the other hand, last an average of between 12 and 15 years and potentially longer with proper maintenance. In both cases, your home's water quality can be a determining factor regarding the lifespan of your water heater.</p></div>

Q: What are signs your water heater is going to explode?

• <div><p>Signs that your water heater may explode include rust-colored water coming from hot water taps, the smell of sulfur or rotten eggs coming from the water, shaking or rumbling in the tank, and a leaky temperature and pressure valve. If the water heater feels excessively hot to the touch, it could also indicate the prospect of an explosion. If you suspect your water heater might explode, call a pro immediately to address the problem.</p></div>

Q: When should I replace my water heater?

• <div><p>Replacement should be considered when repair costs exceed half the price of a new unit, if the heater is more than 10-15 years old, or if consistent issues hinder its effective functioning despite multiple repairs.</p></div>
