"My wife and I just purchased our first home. We knew before we closed that the water heater seen better days and the previous owner put it in a really tight spot, also backwards. After taking two showers, the water heater set off our carbon monoxide detector, having two kids this worried us a bunch. Halter Plumbing & Heating came out at 8:00 pm to help us, got it all figured out, and stuck around for a while to make sure it would be safe for us. Upon fixing it, I decided to go with a new one, like I said in the beginning, the water heater was in a tough spot, a lot of bad pipes, and backwards. He came in with the best price regardless of all the extra things he would have to do to get it in there. Besides that his price was definitely worth it, his willingness to take on the challenge of a backwards, crammed between a wall, and a fernes"

"Very glad I did it. I need a new furnace. There's a lot wrong with it. Found out it's almost 15 years old and could die during winter. The tech will get me prices on different ones and will go from there."

"We hired Areti to completely gut and remodel our master bathroom, as well as repair several other aspects of our home (replacing the foyer tile and swapping the closet flooring from carpet to hardwood, installing a new water pump system, resealing skylights, etc). When we initially researched Areti, we learned that it is a young business, but I would encouraged people not to worry about that because they know what they're doing and their work is good. Throughout the process they always emphasized they wanted to make everything exactly the way we wanted it so we would love it--and we do LOVE it! ALL of their employees were VERY friendly and approachable, so I was at ease having them in our home when we weren't there. They were also very prompt at getting back to us with any questions/concerns via phone, text, email, and app. They were always on time when we had an appointment face to face, and we especially appreciate how quickly they came out to fix our water pump when it failed (and this was not part of the original scope of work; but they tackled the extra work without a problem). The quality of their work seems good, however there were a few things that weren't done quite right the first time and that they had to re-do. They do warranty their work, so it didn't cost us more for those hiccups. And Josh and Isaac (who managed our project) seem very thorough in checking the work after its done. Josh also looked over our whole house, basement to roof, and made some suggestions for minor repairs we could do on our own to make our house more functional, safe, and beautiful. We would definitely hire them again for our future home projects. We are very, very pleased with all the work Areti did on our home."

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

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.

No, you’ll need to drain the tank before changing a water heater element, as the water heater element sticks through the side of the tank and uses a gasket to prevent water from pouring out. However, you don’t always need to drain it completely. If you’re only replacing the upper heating element, you can drain the tank until the water line is below the element. If you’re replacing the lower element, you’ll need to drain the whole thing.

Choosing between an electric water heater vs. a gas water heater comes down to personal preference. Overall, electric heaters are more energy efficient than their gas competitors. They’re also quieter to operate, take up less room, and don’t come with a risk of gas leaks. 

The downside is that electric water heaters cost more to operate than gas. They might also struggle to heat water fast enough for households that use large amounts of hot water. Lastly, a power outage could cause your electric water heater to stop working, whereas gas water heaters may still function.

The average lifespan of a water heater is eight to 12 years. If your water heater is approaching its first decade of life and is giving you problems, talk to a plumber about your replacement options.

Keep in mind that certain parts of a water heater, such as the anode rod, may need replacement long before the heater itself. An anode rod often has a lifespan of three to five years.

A leaking water heater could potentially last for a few weeks or months before you need to repair it. However, it's not advisable to wait too long. Once your water heater starts leaking, it's likely that the underlying cause of the leak is getting worse as time goes on. Without immediate repair, your water heater could fail. Instead of using a leaky water heater, you should turn it off and call a pro to fix it.
