Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heaters

What’s the difference between tankless and storage tank water heaters?

A tank-style water heater stores up to 40 gallons of water (depending on the capacity of your tank) and keeps that water heated and readily available for use throughout your home. It will continually refill and reheat water in the tank as needed, which can lead to decreased energy efficiency and the common problem of running out of hot water (and having to wait for the tank to refill).

Tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand, heating water instantly through an electric or gas component. Tankless water heaters are considered much more energy-efficient since they don’t need to continuously heat and store water while it isn’t being used. They have higher costs initially, but they last longer and will save you significant money on your energy bill.

Do water heaters need regular maintenance?

Yes, regular water heater maintenance ensures it’s running efficiently and effectively. One common aspect of maintenance is draining your tank once or twice a year to remove sediment buildup that can contribute to several problems over time. Our Northern Virginia water heater experts can provide comprehensive maintenance to guarantee great performance while alerting you to any minor issues before they get worse.

Why does it take so long for my water to get hot?

You may simply need water heater repairs, but there could be several underlying issues. If you have a tank water heater that hasn’t been drained at least once in recent years, you likely have sediment buildup in the tank, which limits the overall water capacity and can affect the heating ability. Draining your water heater at least once a year is an important maintenance practice, and we can help. We’ll quickly diagnose the problem and provide the necessary fix.

What is the average service life of a water heater?

Traditional, tank-style water heaters typically last about eight to 12 years, and tankless water heaters have a service life of 15 to 20 years. No matter the system you have in your Northern Virginia home, proper maintenance is the most important factor in prolonging the life of your water heater.

What could cause my water heater to leak?

If you’re dealing with a leaky water heater in your Northern Virginia home, chances are you’ve tried to diagnose the problem yourself with no success. A leaky water heater can have a variety of underlying causes, including:

  • A crack in your storage tank
  • Excess pressure buildup
  • Improper draining
  • Loose fixtures
  • The age of your water heater

Whatever the cause, our seasoned pros can identify it quickly and provide effective solutions that will remedy your water heater’s leak right away.
