What to Consider Before Installing a New Water Heater?

If your water heater begins to leak, you’ll need to find a replacement quickly. While most water heaters will last 8 to 12 years, yours could run into problems at any point.

What Should I Look For When Buying a Water Heater?

• Do some research into the many high-efficiency models now on the market.
• Know your budget
• Understand the size of water heater you require
• Know the size of your home. For example, a small bathroom could make do with a small water heater. If you intend to heat water for the entire home, however, you’ll want a sizeable heater.
• Consider the power source—some water heaters use gas and others electricity

If you’re unsure about any of these specifics, don’t hesitate to speak with a Simi Valley water heater replacement professional at Dutton Plumbing.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Water Heater?

In some cases, a water heater is simply too old or too damaged to be repaired. In these instances, you’ll have to replace your existing unit with a new one. While this may seem like a big upfront cost, keep in mind that a newer, more efficient model can actually save you money in the long run by helping you avoid future breakdowns and by using water more efficiently, thereby cutting down your water bills.

How Do You Know When to Replace a Hot Water Heater?

Like all appliances in your Simi Valley home, your water heater will eventually break down due to age or internal issues. Ideally, you should replace your water heater before it stops working altogether. If you wait, you’ll end up with a cold shower—or something worse, like leaks and significant water damage.

Signs of Water Heater Failure:

• Your water heater is more than 10 to 15 years old -
  Most water heaters only last up to 15 years. As your water heater nears the end of it's lifespan it will break down more often and can end up costing your more on your utility bill. If you don't know the age of your water heater, check the serial number on the unit and look it up online to see if you can find a manufacture date.
• Your water heater breaks down often -
  As your water heater gets older, it's going to need more frequent repair. If you are having to have your water heater repaired more then twice every couple of months, it may be time to contact us for our professional Simi Valley Water Heater Installation services.
• Your water heaters tank has corroded -
  As water heaters near the end of their lifespan, they can rust or corrode on the inside of the tank. This corrosion can cause your home's water to have a red like tinge to it when you turn on a fuacet. If you notice this, contact us today for our expert water heater help.

Additionally, if the cost of a repair far outweighs the cost of a new water heater or you're looking for a more energy-efficient system, we recommend replacement as the ideal option.

How Much Does It Cost to Replace a Water Heater?

Traditional Water Heater

Installing a traditional water heater can be half the cost of a tankless water heater as there are usually fewer complications resulting in potentially fewer problems to handle.

Tankless Water Heater

Replacing a traditional water heater with a new tankless system is a bit more complicated, unfortunately, so such an installation will likely cost more. At the same time though, there are numerous benefits to going tankless.

If you are uncertain which system may benefit you the most, please do not hesitate to contact the professionals here at Dutton Plumbing. Our Ventura County water heater installation team strive to go above and beyond for our clients wherever possible—including advising you when requested.
