Types of Water Heaters

If you need a new water heater, you can get a tank-style or tankless model. A tank water heater has a large tank designed to hold water. When you turn on the hot water tap, cold water enters the bottom of the tank. This forces heated water to the top.

In contrast, tankless water heaters don’t store warm water. They produce it as you need it, ensuring you always have enough hot water to meet your needs. Because there’s no tank, this type of water heater usually has a longer lifespan than tank-style models. However, tankless heaters are more expensive up front.

Here are some of the benefits of replacing an old water heater:
  • Reduced home energy usage
  • Lower repair costs over time
  • Increased availability of hot water
  • Advanced safety features

Installation and Replacement

At Haley Comfort Systems, we strive to make your installation or replacement completely stress-free. If you’re not sure which type of water heater to get, we’re here to help. Our team can assess your current system and make appropriate recommendations. We also provide upfront pricing, which helps you avoid surprises later.

Once you select a water heater, we’ll disconnect the old unit, drain it and remove it. If you need a water heater for a new build in Rochester, we’ll prepare the installation site. Then we install the new system, test it and perform a final safety check.

You may need a new water heater if you notice any of the following:
  • Hot water runs out quickly
  • Popping or rumbling noises
  • Visible corrosion on tank
  • Unusual water taste or color

Signs You Need a New Unit

If you already have a water heater, it may need to be replaced at some point. One warning sign is that it takes longer than usual to heat water. You may also notice unusual temperature fluctuations. Another warning sign is that your water tastes or smells funny. Bad tastes and odors can occur due to the presence of bacteria or metals from corrosion.

Visible corrosion can cause flaky material to build up on the outside of the tank. You may also notice rust-colored water. Finally, you should replace your water heater if your current unit is near the end of its lifespan, or more than 10 to 15 years old.

Frequently Asked Questions

We want you to have all the facts before you book a service call. Here are answers to questions we’ve received from multiple customers.

What’s the difference between tank and tankless water heaters?

The main difference is that a tankless water heater doesn’t have a tank. Instead, it heats water on demand. This makes tankless models more efficient than tank-style ones.

How long should a water heater last?

It depends on what type of unit you have. Tank-style models usually last for 8 to 12 years. The tankless version lasts for 20 years or more with proper maintenance.

How do I know when to replace mine?

You should replace the water heater in your Rochester home if it isn’t heating water efficiently. You may also need a new unit if you notice foul odors, bad-tasting water or visible corrosion on the tank.
