Is It Time to Replace Your Water Heater?
Most water heaters don’t quit all at once. Instead, they show warning signs. If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, water heater replacement may be the best solution:
- Inconsistent Hot Water: If you’re often running out of hot water or notice fluctuating temperatures, your system may be struggling to keep up.
- Old Age: Traditional tank-style water heaters usually last about 8–12 years. If yours is pushing that limit, consider upgrading before a breakdown catches you off guard.
- Leaks or Rusty Water: Leaks around the base or rust-colored water coming from your faucets are red flags.
- Strange Noises: Rumbling or banging sounds often indicate sediment buildup, which affects efficiency and can lead to tank damage.
- Rising Energy Bills: An aging water heater has to work harder, which drives up your monthly costs.
If these symptoms sound familiar, don’t wait. Call T&T Plumbing & Heating, Inc. for a free in-home consultation and personalized water heater replacement estimate.
Choosing the Right Tank Water Heater for Your Home
If you’re replacing a traditional tank-style water heater, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel—but it is the perfect time to choose a model that fits your current lifestyle, family size, and energy needs. At T&T Plumbing & Heating, Inc., we’re here to guide you through every factor that matters, so your next water heater is reliable, efficient, and built to last.
Choose the Right Tank Size
Tank water heaters come in a variety of sizes, typically ranging from 30 to 80 gallons. The right size depends on your household size and daily hot water usage. Here’s a general guideline:
- 30–40 gallons: Best for 1–2 people
- 40–50 gallons: Best for 2–4 people
- 50–60 gallons: Best for 4–5 people
- 80+ gallons: Best for large families or homes with high hot water demands (e.g., large tubs, multiple bathrooms)
If your current tank runs out of hot water too quickly, it may be undersized. Our team will help you select the ideal capacity to meet your needs without wasting energy.
Select Your Fuel Type
Most tank water heaters run on either natural gas or electricity. If you’re replacing an existing unit, it’s usually most cost-effective to stick with your current fuel source. That said, if your energy bills are rising or you’re remodeling, a switch might make sense.
- Gas Water Heaters: Heat water quickly, ideal for large households, typically more cost-effective over time.
- Electric Water Heaters: Lower upfront cost, great for homes without natural gas lines.
We’ll help you compare both options based on your home’s setup and utility rates.
Consider Energy Efficiency
Today’s tank water heaters are more energy-efficient than older models, thanks to better insulation and design improvements. Look for units with:
- High Energy Factor (EF) ratings
- ENERGY STAR® certification
- Improved tank insulation to minimize standby heat loss
Even among basic tank models, small upgrades in efficiency can mean big savings on your monthly utility bill.
Evaluate Recovery Rate
Recovery rate refers to how quickly the unit can reheat water after the hot water has been depleted. If your current water heater can’t keep up during back-to-back showers or morning routines, a higher recovery rate may solve that frustration.
Gas models typically offer faster recovery rates than electric models. If speed is a priority in your household, this is an important metric to discuss with our installation team.
Choose a Reputable Brand and Warranty
At T&T Plumbing & Heating, Inc., we only install water heaters from trusted brands known for quality and durability. We’ll also help you choose a warranty that gives you long-term coverage.
