How Long Does a Water Heater Last

The lifespan of a water heater depends on a number of things, but can expect it to last between 7 to 13 years. Shall your water heater be within this range, it may be best to have a water heater replacement service so you are not constantly needing repair work.

What are The Signs of a Water Heater Going Bad?

Regardless of the quality of your water heater, your system is subject to fail eventually. This is especially true for units that are not appropriately maintained over the years. It is essential to keep an eye out for common indicators that your water heater may require repair.

Signs that your water heater may need to be repaired include:

  • No hot water
  • Insufficient hot water supply
  • Odd tasting or smelling water
  • Loud cracking or rumbling noises
  • Reddish-brown water
  • Leaking tank
  • Higher energy bills

Should a problem pop up on you, don’t worry! We are available to start heading your way anytime you need us—even if it is after hours or on the weekend. If the problem is minor, rest assured, we can fix it. Of course, if the repair costs more than half of the price of a new system, you may want to consider replacing your water heater.

How to Prepare Your Home for a Water Heater Inspection & Service

Water heater services can sometimes take long depending on what is discovered upon inspection. This is why it is always a great idea to prepare to allow the water heater plumber to do their job quick and effectively.

You can prepare by doing the following:

  • Move pets outdoors
  • Clean the surrounding area of the water heater
  • Move little children away from the working area
  • Find out the age of your water heater
  • Refrain from tampering with the unit prior to the visit

    "Excellent work"
    Our heat went out late Saturday night - We called Capitol Plumbing and the crew, two men, Xavier and Alex, were here early Sunday morning. The furnace was removed and by 6:00 pm the new furnace was up and working - The heat was on and the house warmed up quite fast. Xavier and Alex were friendly and worked very efficiently replacing the old furnace. They were very helpful and informative and explained everything about the new furnace and answered all our questions. When crew had completed the job, they waited until the temperature was up to the degrees necessary for furnace to work. Thank you for a job well-done and I would recommend Capitol Plumbing and Heating in Santa Fe to anyone who needs plumbing work done. Thank you, we are once again warm and cozy.

    "Emergency service was also quick and efficient and very Professional."
    Xavior, arrived at a much needed time to fix our leak. He was fast to detect the leak and addressed the situation in a professional manner. It was late and after hours but he was not hurried and explained what happened, what he did and what has yet to be done. If you are not using them or need good service we recommend them, they responded among the many we tried to reach, so they will have our business for some time to come. Thank you for relieving our problem and minds.

    "Service with humor!"
    After being stood up by another plumber we called Paul's Plumbing & Heating, Inc. They contacted Xavier and Beto from Capitol Plumbing and Heating who fixed our outdoor faucet, which would not turn off. Xavier explained everything and showed us the process. He was professional, witty, and patient with my questions. I highly recommend them and am also impressed Paul's Plumbing contacted them since they didn't have any available crews. Both companies have customers' best interests in mind.

    "Very happy with Xavior and Capitol"
    My kitchen sink x2 was hopelessly plugged up. Filthy water that had backed up was just sitting there. That is so unhealthy. I called Capitol this morning and they said they'd send out a serviceman in a couple of hours, which they did. Xavior came by and did a great job. He was polite, knowledgeable, smart and neat....no mess left behind for me! And best of all, the drains are running perfectly! Capitol has also installed my furnace and water tank, all within the last year or so (3/2021). And I am VERY pleased with that result as well....thanks to Adrian for that....great job.

    "$1200.00"
    Both Tomas and Xavier Martinez were prompt and courteous. They went beyond what was a leaking hot water valve. After replacing the valve and water line hose, they checked the boiler system and found it was not properly operating and took care of it for us. We were thankful for their thoroughness and quick service.

    "Excellent friendly knowledgeable service."
    Had them install a complete new system for heating water and and radiant heat system. Went to a tankless hot water system. They worked very efficiently and wasted no time installing the system. Workers were friendly and explained everything about the equipment and answered my questions since I was not familiar with the tankless hot water system and the radiant heat used in homes. They hauled away the old tank and boiler and a soft water system that was out dated. It took about two days but the water was only off for part of the first day and we had hot water that night for showering. Over all a very positive experience and I would highly recommend Capitol Plumbing & Heating of Santa Fe for all your plumbing needs.
