How long does it take to install a water heater?

It depends on the complexity of the job and the type of system. It could be as little as an hour, but some jobs require up to 8 hours.

Are tank or tankless water heaters better?

Tankless units are more energy efficient and require less space, but if you want lower initial costs, tank water heaters may be better. We can discuss these options with you in advance.

What’s the average lifespan of water heaters?

Most units last for between 8 and 12 years, but it depends on the specific model and how often it’s serviced. Schedule a regular gas or electric water heater service with Mr. Rooter® to keep your water heater in optimal condition.

When Does Your Water Heater Need to be Repaired or Replaced?

A complete lack of hot water could be the result of a tripped circuit breaker, a broken thermostat, or limescale buildup. Most issues are minor, and repairs are quick and easy. For heavily damaged units, we offer a hot water heater replacement service.
Inconsistent temperatures are a common issue, usually caused by a buildup of sediment or faulty heating units. A quick diagnosis will tell us the problem, and we can then repair the unit and replace parts as needed.
If your unit is over 10 years old, there’s a higher risk of corrosion. You may need to schedule regular emergency water heater repair services as it struggles to stay running. We can check the unit, diagnose any current or potential issues, and ensure it is fully functional, clean, and well-maintained.
