Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a water heater typically last?
Most standard tank water heaters last between 8 and 12 years. If your heater is over a decade old or starting to rust, it may be time to consider a professional replacement in Palo Alto.
What are the signs that my water heater is failing?
Common warning signs include rusty or discolored hot water, banging noises from the tank, slow heating times, or pooling water around the base of the heater.
Should I get a tankless water heater?
Tankless water heaters provide endless hot water and save space, but they require a higher initial installation cost. A standard tank heater is typically more cost-effective upfront.
