Lifespan of a Residential Water Heater

  • Maintenance of your water heater
  • The quality of the repairs and maintenance done over the years
  • Whether it was installed correctly
  • Where it was installed (when a hot water heater is installed outside or on a roof, it may not last as long)
  • Your local weather and climate
  • Amount of use since being installed

Finding the Right Replacement Water Heater

Finding the right replacement water heater for your needs is a quick, easy process when you have our help. Here is what we will consider when we’re helping you pick out an energy-efficient, eco-friendly hot water heater for your home:

  • The Best Water Heater Size for Your Needs - If you have a large household or need hot water for many different appliances, you’ll want a water heater with a large tank that can quickly supply hot water on demand.
  • The Energy-Efficiency of the Water Heater - If you’re eco-conscious and want to save money on your home water heating, you can choose an energy-efficient hot water heater.
  • Your Budget - Your budget will give us a sense of the minimum and maximum you can spend on a new hot water heater.
  • The Availability and Cost of Fuel - The availability and cost of fuel in your area will affect the cost of running your hot water heater. You can choose between an electric, natural gas, propane, solar, fuel oil, or geothermal energy hot water heater.

Common Types of Residential Water Heaters

If the age and efficiency of your current water heater mean you are considering hot water heater replacement, you can choose between a few different types of residential water heaters. Our service professionals have years of experience installing each of these types of water heaters for homes in New Jersey:

  • Conventional - A conventional water heater stores water in a large tank so it’s ready when you need it and heats the water up using electricity or natural gas. If you install an energy-efficient water heater, you can reduce your water heating costs by up to 7%.
  • Tankless - A tankless water heater doesn’t store hot water. Instead, it heats water up on demand, only when needed. This can reduce your water heating bills by up to 30%.
  • Hybrid - A hybrid hot water heater combines conventional tank storage with a heat pump. It uses existing water and electrical connections to power the heat pump. A hybrid water heater can reduce your water heating costs by up to 60%.
