Frequently Ask Question

The approach to fixing a gas water heater leak depends on the source of the problem. If the leak originates from the tank itself, it usually indicates internal corrosion, which would require replacing the entire water heater. However, if the leak comes from the water lines or valves, it is generally possible to repair by replacing the specific faulty components.
On average, a water heater can last anywhere from 7 to 15 years. However, this lifespan can be affected by several factors, including the quality of the water it’s heating and how well it’s maintained. If the water is particularly hard or corrosive, like in Highland, it can cause the heater to rust and deteriorate more quickly. Conversely, if the heater is regularly maintained and cared for, it can last on the higher end of that range.
Switching from a conventional tank water heater to a more efficient tankless model can lead to long-term savings on utility bills. However, the initial for a tankless water heater is usually higher. We can provide a personalized assessment of your needs and offer recommendations that best fit your home’s requirements.
In Redlands and some of the surrounding cities, residents receive their water supply from the Redlands Water District. It’s worth noting that about 85% of households across the United States have moderately hard water, with hardness levels ranging from 60 to 120 parts per million (ppm). Highland specifically has a hardness rating of 1149 ppm and a 8.7 rating on the grains per gallon scale. Both of these ratings indicate a high hardness level, placing the water firmly in the ‘hard water’ category.
This is significant because hard water contains calcium and minerals that can lead to buildup in your home’s fixtures, including your water heater and faucets. Over time, this buildup can cause these fixtures to clog and wear out more quickly.
