"I had power go out in my room, I call Just Better Home Services, they were quick to respond and send an electrician out. They ended up charging me $441 for several hours of troubleshooting. and I still did not have power in my room. They did quote me over $3000 to run new circuits to 2 of my rooms. I had another electrician come out a few days later. He found the issue in less than 30 minutes and charged me significate less. I do not recommend Just Better Services electrician services."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Flushing biannually, checking the anode rod, and temperature settings maximize equipment lifespan while reducing surprise costs.

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.

Every type of water heater has its advantages and disadvantages. Understanding those can help you decide the best type for your situation and budget. 

Pros

  • Safer than gas or propane

  • Doesn’t require extensive venting systems

  • Lower upfront costs

  • Simpler to operate

  • No pilot light

  • Easier installation

  • More efficient heating than gas models

  • Available as point-of-use (POU) and whole-house units

Cons

  • Slower to heat water

  • Longer recovery time

  • Possibly higher operating costs

  • Doesn’t work during a power outage

  • Costs can increase without a 240-volt connection

How long do water heaters last? The average tank-style hot water heater will last 8 to 12 years, while a tankless water heater may last up to 20 years. Large families that use a lot of hot water will put more stress on the unit, potentially shortening its lifespan. Regular maintenance and repairs can lengthen the unit’s lifespan.

Tankless water heaters are more expensive than those with a storage tank, but they come with some impressive benefits that most homeowners find worth the higher investment. Most importantly, they provide unlimited hot water, so you’ll never run out like you would with a storage tank. Tankless heaters are also more efficient, so comparing gallon-for-gallon, you’ll spend less on hot water with a tankless heater. Tankless water heaters are also smaller, require less maintenance, and tend to last longer than storage tank water heaters.
