"We have had Manwill out to our home in Draper several times over the last 8 years or so, for furnace and plumbing repair work. This most recent time was to repair a bathtub faucet, repair a leaking ac/furnace drain, and replace a 50 gal water heater that was 19 years old and starting to leak badly. As always, the Manwill repair guys were punctual, thorough, professional, & friendly. Can't recommend these guys highly enough. Thanks Martin, Jim, & Steve!"

"Jason H from Humphrey Plumbing Heating and Air came right when he said he would. He installed the new ducting the same day as when he first came to give us a bid. The repairs were done professionally. We would use Humphreys again if we need hvac work done."

"Wes was very knowledgeable and was able to diagnose the problem with my water heater. We went through my options and Wes educated me along the way to help me make the decision on what I should do. He even showed me what was wrong so I knew I could trust him. Iâ ve already scheduled Plumbing and Company to come back and install a new vanity sink in my bathroom. Glad to have found a plumber I can trust."

"Salt City Plumbing were quick to come out for a quote for a new water heater. Their price was reasonable and they were quick to do the work. They even went the extra mile helping get the water out of the tank before they even got the job. DJ was knowledgeable, friendly and did an amazing job!"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

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.

Electric water heaters do not need an attached vent, but the location of the water heater should allow for roughly 12 inches of clearance around it. This allows cool air to flow around the appliance and allows repair technicians to work on its components safely. The exact amount of clearance space required depends on your local building codes.

A larger heater requires a larger breaker—unless there’s one already installed. The longer answer to this question is more nuanced. Do you place demands on the heater at the same time as running other heavy-duty appliances like ovens and washing machines? Do you live in an older home that may not have considered the higher electrical demands we have now? Breakers need to be sized at 125% of the load. To find that load, you should call a local electrical pro.

If your water heater is about to celebrate the big 2-0, you may want to consider sending it off to greener pastures. While the water heater may seem to be working well, any conventional, tanked water heater over 10 years of age is at risk of failure. If your water heater is 20 years or older, your best move is to replace your aging heater before it completely breaks down.

Newer models are packed with newer technologies that decrease energy consumption and increase output, giving you more bang for your buck in more bills than one. 

If you’re trying to decide whether you want to repair or replace your new heater, consider factors like your utility bills, repair costs, and even your carbon footprint to help you decide whether it makes sense to buy a new one instead.
