Frequently asked questions
Tank water-heater questions.
Project-specific requirements can vary.
What size tank water heater is right for my home?
A 50-gallon tank water heater will typically provide sufficient hot water for a household of three to five people. The appropriate size can vary with hot-water usage, number of bathrooms and appliances.
Should I choose a gas or electric tank water heater?
The choice largely depends on whether the home has gas service and the connections already available. Installation requirements, operating costs, available space and venting should also be considered.
How long does a tank water heater typically last?
A tank water heater typically lasts approximately six to ten years. Water quality, usage, maintenance, installation conditions and unit quality can all affect service life.
How long does it take to replace a tank water heater?
A standard tank water heater replacement takes approximately two hours on average. More time may be needed for plumbing, electrical, gas, venting or code-related modifications.
Does a water heater replacement require a permit?
Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction and property type. Some single-family replacements may not require a permit, while apartments, condominiums and certain municipalities may require permitting, inspections or property-management approval.
What maintenance does a tank water heater need?
Periodic flushing is recommended to help remove sediment buildup and support efficient operation. Maintenance needs can vary with manufacturer recommendations and water quality.
Should the new water heater include an expansion tank?
An approved thermal expansion control device may be required depending on the plumbing system and local code requirements. This can include an expansion tank or another code-compliant expansion-control device on the cold-water supply.
What warranties are available on tank water heaters?
Many standard tank water heaters include a six-year limited manufacturer warranty, with some extended options available. Manufacturer coverage varies by model and generally does not include installation labor. A. Plumbing Pro provides a one-year labor warranty on qualifying work.
Can the new water heater be installed in a different location?
Often, yes. Relocation may require changes to water piping, drainage, electrical wiring, gas piping or venting, and another licensed trade may be needed depending on the unit and new location.
