What affects the price

When you are looking at the price of a new water heater, a few main things shift the final number. The type of unit you choose—whether it is a tank model or a tankless system—is the biggest factor. You also have to consider the fuel source, like gas or electric, and the physical space where the heater sits. If your home needs new venting, updated piping, or a different hookup to meet current safety codes, that adds labor time to the project.

About this service

Even though it is warm outside, your water heater is still working daily. Summer is a great time to adjust your settings, as the incoming water isn't as cold, which can actually help extend the life of your unit. If you are planning a home renovation or just want to upgrade to a more efficient model, call us to talk through your options.

Frequently asked in Greensboro

How long do hot water heaters typically last?

Most traditional tank water heaters generally last between 10 to 15 years. The quality of your local water and how well the unit is maintained can significantly impact its lifespan. If your Greensboro home's unit is approaching this age, it's wise to monitor its performance. Call us for an evaluation.

What is the average cost of putting in a water heater?

What is the most efficient type of water heater?

Tankless water heaters are highly efficient because they heat water only when you need it, eliminating standby energy loss. Heat pump water heaters are also a very energy-efficient option for tank-style systems. Discuss the best solution for your household with a specialist.

What are signs I need a new water heater?

Watch out for signs like discolored or rusty water, frequent leaks from the tank, or a significant reduction in hot water. If your unit is making unusual noises like rumbling or popping, it's another indicator that a replacement might be needed. Call us to check.

What is the most common problem with a hot water heater?

Sediment buildup in the tank is a frequent issue that can lead to noise and decreased heating efficiency. Another common problem involves the thermostat or heating elements failing, resulting in inconsistent water temperatures. Professional assessment can identify these issues.

Is it worth it to repair a water heater?

Repairing a water heater can be cost-effective for smaller issues, particularly if the unit is still relatively new. However, for major repairs or on older units, investing in a new water heater might be more economical over time. We can help you weigh the options.
