When to Replace Your Water Heater
Having consistent access to enough hot water is a significant cost for the average California resident. A problem with older water heaters is that they lose efficiency as they age. Another consideration is that water heater technologies are far better than the previous models.
- Slow recovery times
- Low hot water pressure
- Reduced hot water volume
- Visible corrosion or other damage
- Frequently tripping circuit breakers
- Discolored and/or smelly hot water
- Tea kettling or other unusual noises
Frequent Repairs or Leaks
We’ll generally recommend replacing a leaking water heater. The exception would be when the problem is simply a bad valve that we can easily replace. That said, frequent small repairs are another way that homeowners spend unnecessarily. Those small repairs really add up, and you often can save money long term by replacing your unit.
Inconsistent Hot Water or Aging Unit
The average lifespan of a traditional tank water heater is between 8 and 12 years. We’ll often advise replacement after six years if a unit needs a major repair. After 10 years, it’s time to begin considering replacing your water heater proactively. It may also be time if your water heater’s capacity no longer meets your needs. Perhaps your family has grown, or the unit has simply lost recovery capabilities through high usage over the years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the most common questions about water heater installation and replacement services in Bakersfield. Contact us at your convenience with any additional questions.
How Long Does A Water Heater Replacement Take?
The typical replacement process in Bakersfield takes between two and four hours. That involves the direct replacement of an old tank water heater with a new one. Even with more complex installations, we complete most replacements within a day. Those that take longer often involve significant conversions, such as from gas to electric or vice versa.
Should I Switch To A Tankless Water Heater?
Tankless water heaters provide a virtually unlimited hot water supply and are better for the environment because they don’t waste energy. Those benefits aside, the decision, for many homeowners, comes down to weighing the initial added costs against the long-term savings. We recommend scheduling an on-site consultation appointment. We’ll help you explore all those factors and determine if the switch is right for your home.
What Are The Signs That My Water Heater Is Failing?
Failing water heaters will often consume considerably more electricity or fuel. You may notice you have less hot water volume, and your water heater isn’t recovering as quickly. Older water heaters may have rust or other corrosion on the tank and at connections. Other signs to watch for include discolored hot water, smelly hot water, unusual noises, low water pressure, and excess condensation.
