Fixing Vs. Replacing Your Water Heater

Our team of experienced Master Plumbers is equipped to assess and address issues with all major brands of electric, gas, and tankless water heaters. We operate on a transparent pricing model, charging by the job rather than the hour, so you’ll know the cost upfront.
With a 1-year warranty on all repairs, we stand behind the quality of our work. Sometimes, a repair is all that’s needed to restore your water heater to optimal function.

Common Water Heater Questions and Problems
The lifespan of a water heater can vary, but on average, a traditional tank-style water heater lasts around 10-15 years. Regular maintenance and proper care can contribute to extending its longevity.
The size of the water heater depends on factors such as the number of people in your household and your daily hot water usage. A general guideline is that a family of four may require a 40-50-gallon tank, but individual needs may vary. Consulting with Rob Bertolino Plumbing & Heating can help determine the optimal size for your specific requirements.
To enhance energy efficiency, consider setting the water heater thermostat to 120°F, insulating the hot water pipes, and draining a small amount of water from the tank annually to remove sediment. Additionally, investing in a newer, more energy-efficient model or exploring alternative options like tankless water heaters can significantly improve overall efficiency. Regular maintenance also contributes to optimal performance.
