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

Electric water heaters use heating elements inside the tank to warm your water. If your unit stops heating, we typically check the thermostat, the heating elements, and the electrical breakers. You need service if you are getting cold water or if the breaker keeps tripping. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

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 Lubbock

How long do hot water heaters typically last?

Electric water heaters typically last between 8 to 12 years. Factors like water quality and maintenance in Lubbock can influence this lifespan. If your unit is approaching this age, it's a good idea to have a professional inspect it to prevent unexpected failures and ensure you continue to have hot water.

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

What is the most efficient type of water heater?

Tankless electric water heaters are generally considered the most efficient for providing a continuous supply of hot water. Traditional tank models can also be efficient if properly sized and maintained. The best choice for your Lubbock home will depend on your hot water usage patterns and installation requirements.

What are signs I need a new water heater?

Signs you might need a new electric water heater include a significant decrease in hot water supply, unusual noises like popping or rumbling, visible rust on the tank, or water leaks. If your unit is over 10-12 years old, it's approaching the end of its typical lifespan and may need replacement.

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

Sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank is a frequent issue with electric water heaters, leading to reduced efficiency and noise. Another common problem involves the failure of heating elements or thermostats. These issues typically require professional diagnosis and repair for effective resolution.

Is it worth it to repair a water heater?

Repairing a water heater is often worthwhile for newer units with minor issues, like a faulty thermostat or heating element. However, if the tank is leaking or showing significant corrosion, or if multiple expensive repairs are needed, replacing the unit might be more economical in the long run. A professional can help you decide.
