Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heater Repair and Installation

Below are expanded answers to the most common questions homeowners ask our expert technicians when they need water heater repair, replacement, or installation in Colorado Springs, CO.

How long should a water heater last?

Most traditional storage tank water heaters last 8–12 years, depending on water quality, usage, and regular maintenance. Tankless water heaters typically last 15–20 years, thanks to their on-demand heating design and improved energy efficiency.
If your old water heater is nearing these age ranges, it’s wise to schedule an inspection to prevent sudden failure.

If your system is under eight years old and experiencing minor issues like thermostat problems, pilot light failure, or sediment buildup, timely repairs can extend its life.
You likely need a water heater replacement if:

  • Your tank is leaking
  • You experience frequent repairs
  • The unit no longer heats water consistently
  • Rusty water is coming from your taps
  • Energy bills have increased due to declining efficiency

Our expert technicians evaluate your system honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Call us if you notice:

  • Popping sounds or strange noises
  • Lukewarm or inconsistent water temperature
  • Water that smells bad or appears rusty
  • Pooling water around the tank
  • Unexplained increases in utility bills

These are all symptoms that your water heater breaks or is close to failing. Addressing problems early prevents major damage and helps maintain energy efficiency.

A tankless model is a great option if you want:

  • Endless hot water
  • Lower energy costs
  • A longer system lifespan
  • Space savings
  • Better performance for high-use households

Tankless units are ideal for homeowners looking to meet higher efficiency goals or eliminate the need for a bulky storage tank. We can compare both options and recommend the ideal system for your home.

Yes. We install:

  • High-efficiency storage tank units
  • Hybrid heat pump water heaters
  • Energy-efficient tankless systems
  • Solar-assisted water heating systems

If you want to reduce environmental impact and utility bills, we’ll help you choose a new water heater installation that fits your budget and saving goals.

Most new water heater installations take 2–4 hours, depending on:

  • The type of system (tankless vs tank)
  • Whether additional venting or plumbing adjustments are needed
  • Local code requirements in Colorado Springs

Tankless installations may take a little longer due to upgraded gas lines or venting.

Absolutely. Modern units are designed to heat water more efficiently, especially:

  • Tankless water heaters
  • Hybrid heat pump systems
  • High-efficiency gas or electric units

A water heater that runs efficiently wastes less energy, which leads to noticeable monthly savings.

Yes — we provide 24/7 emergency water heater repair throughout Colorado Springs, CO.
Call us anytime if:

  • Your tank bursts
  • You suddenly lose hot water
  • A leak begins spreading
  • You hear popping sounds or smell burning
  • Your basement or utility area starts flooding

We dispatch technicians quickly to prevent further damage.

We work with all major brands, including:

  • Bradford White
  • Rheem
  • AO Smith
  • Navien
  • Rinnai
  • Noritz
  • State

If you’re unsure which brand fits your needs, we’ll guide you to the best option for long-term durability and reliable service.

Sizing depends on your household’s hot water demands. In general:

  • 1–2 people: 30–40 gallon tank
  • 3–4 people: 40–50 gallon tank
  • 5+ people: 50–80 gallon tank or tankless system

For exact sizing, our technicians calculate peak demand, usage habits, and plumbing system design.

We recommend annual maintenance, which includes:

  • Flushing sediment
  • Checking the anode rod
  • Inspecting valves and connections
  • Testing safety and temperature controls

Regular maintenance extends the life of your system, prevents breakdowns, and supports efficient service.

Popping sounds often mean sediment has built up inside the tank. As the water heats, that sediment traps steam and creates the noise.
This can lead to:

  • Reduced heating efficiency
  • Overheating
  • Premature tank failure

A quick professional flush can restore performance.
