Life Expectancy

A conventional water heater should last about 11 years, tankless heaters have a life expectancy of 15-20 years. Hard water will shorten the life, regular maintenance will prolong it.

Efficiency

Tankless heaters are considered more energy efficient than conventional heaters because they don’t have to continually heat a tank of water. Tankless heaters heat water instantly whenever a hot water tap is opened. Convention heaters as well as tankless water heaters are way more efficient and safer than they have ever been.

Is your water heater too hot?

To reduce the risk of scalding and to avoid the risk of running out of hot water, most plumbing companies, including Roto-Rooter recommend a temperature setting of 120°-125° F.

Be safe

Always keep safety in mind when it comes to water heaters. Never store paints, solvents or combustibles near the unit due to the obvious risk of fire.
