Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions our Orange County neighbors ask about water heater repair & maintenance services
Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8–12 years. Tankless units can last up to 20 years with proper annual maintenance.
If your tank is leaking, rusty, or over 10 years old, replacement is usually the most economical option. If it's a minor part failure and the unit is under 8 years old, repair is often the best choice. We'll give you an honest recommendation.
Tankless units save energy by only heating water on demand, provide endless hot water, and take up significantly less space than a traditional tank.
Yes. Our service includes the safe removal and environmentally responsible disposal of your old unit.
Most water heaters should be professionally serviced once a year. Annual maintenance helps remove sediment buildup, improve efficiency, extend the unit’s lifespan, and catch small issues before they turn into costly repairs.
