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: Is a hot water recirculating system worth it?

• <div><p>If you want instant hot water and to reduce water waste while improving convenience, a hot water recirculating system is worth it, especially if you find your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/water-heater-not-heating-water-luke-warm-water-comes-shower.htm">hot water heater is not hot enough</a>. These systems can save thousands of gallons of water each year so you don't have to wait for hot water at faucets and showers. The upfront investment can be high, especially for systems requiring additional plumbing, but the long-term savings on water bills and added comfort make them a worthwhile upgrade. </p></div>

Q: What is the proper vent pipe for a water heater?

• <div><p>Due to the high temperature, using stainless steel vent pipes for your tankless water heater&rsquo;s exhaust vent is best. Also, it is safe to use a flexible vent duct as the exhaust fan. If installing the exhaust fan yourself, make sure you are using heat-resistant silicon to connect the exhaust vent and the duct on your water heater.</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: Can you switch to a tankless water heater from a heater with a tank?

• <div><p>Yes, you can replace a current tank water heater with a tankless model or vice versa. If you&rsquo;re maintaining the same fuel source&mdash;gas or electricity&mdash;the switchover should be smooth. A conventional tank requires open floor space, while a tankless model can be wall-mounted. If you&rsquo;re switching to a tank water heater, you might need to clear space for it. Gas-powered tankless water heaters need a large volume of gas when they start running to heat the water instantly. You might need to increase the size of the gas line when going from a tank to a tankless model.</p></div>

What a relief! We just bought an older home and knew the ac/heating unit was older. Even in icy weather, the owner of the company made it to my house! Our heater is now working great and he took the time to rewire some things and install our new thermostat we had not put on yet. Thanks so much!
