What Water Heater Tank Size Is Best for My Home?
The right tank capacity for your home depends on your household size, usage, fixtures, and water-using appliances. A family of four typically needs a 40-50 gallon tank, while a 60-80 gallon tank may be necessary for five or more household members.

Every water heater we install is backed by the manufacturer’s parts warranty and our ten-year labor warranty. If any workmanship issue arises within the covered ten-year period, we will take care of it with no questions asked.

When Should I Replace My Water Heater?
While repairing your water heater can be an affordable solution for minor problems, replacing an aging system can save you more money in the long run.
Below are some telltale signs that it might be time to replace your water heater:
- Temperature control problems. If hot water from showerheads or faucets goes cold within seconds, this could be a sign of failing heating elements.
- Recurring repairs. Constant water heater breakdowns and repair costs can add up quickly and signal the need for an upgrade.
- Low or inconsistent water pressure. Water pressure issues can indicate heavy corrosion or deteriorating piping and connections.
- Outdated system. If your water heater is nearing the end of its life, purchasing a new one can lead to improved performance and energy savings.
- Unusual noises. Persistent thumping, knocking, or rumbling sounds can be a sign of deterioration or overheating in older units.
