Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about water heater services

Tank water heaters typically last 8-12 years, while tankless units can last 20+ years. Regular maintenance including annual flushing and anode rod checks can significantly extend lifespan.

It depends on your needs. Tank heaters cost less upfront ($800-$1,500) and work for most homes. Tankless units cost more ($1,500-$4,500) but provide endless hot water and 24-34% energy savings. We can assess your situation and recommend the best option.

For tank heaters: 2 people need 30-40 gallons, 3-4 people need 40-50 gallons, 5+ people need 50-80 gallons. For tankless, sizing is based on flow rate—most South Florida homes need 4-6 GPM.

Popping or rumbling usually indicates sediment buildup. Whistling may signal pressure relief valve issues. Sizzling can mean water is dripping on heating elements. A professional flush typically resolves noise issues.

Electric tank: $1,200-$2,000. Gas tank: $1,500-$2,500. Tankless electric: $2,000-$4,000. Tankless gas: $3,000-$5,500. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees.

Yes, Florida building codes require permits for water heater installations. This ensures safety and protects your warranty. Hernandez Plumbing handles all permit applications and inspections.

Tank water heater replacement typically takes 2-4 hours. Tankless installations take 4-8 hours, especially if electrical or gas upgrades are needed.

Warning signs include: age over 10 years, rusty/discolored water, rumbling noises, water pooling around unit, inconsistent temperature, and rising energy bills despite maintenance.
