Five Signs It’s Time To Upgrade Your Old Water Heater


Age of the Water Heater

If your water heater is approaching or has exceeded its expected lifespan (typically around 10-15 years), it might be time for an upgrade. Older units tend to become less efficient over time, leading to increased energy consumption and potential issues.

Frequent Repairs

If your water heater requires frequent repairs or if you're experiencing recurring issues despite regular maintenance, it might be more cost-effective to invest in a newer, more efficient model rather than continuously repairing an aging unit.

Decreased Efficiency

Notice a decline in your water heater's efficiency? Higher energy bills or reduced hot water supply compared to previous years can be indicators of decreased efficiency in your current unit. Upgrading to a newer, more energy-efficient model can lead to cost savings in the long run.

Rusty Water or Corrosion

Rusty or discolored water coming from your taps might indicate corrosion inside your water heater tank. This corrosion can affect water quality and potentially lead to leaks or system failure. Upgrading to a new water heater can ensure cleaner and safer hot water for your home.

Inadequate Hot Water Supply

If your current water heater consistently fails to provide enough hot water for your household's needs, especially during peak usage times, it might be undersized or suffering from efficiency issues. Upgrading to a larger or more efficient unit can ensure an adequate and consistent hot water supply.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tank Water Heater Installation

Typically, a standard tank water heater installation takes 2-4 hours to complete. However, the exact timeframe depends on factors such as whether you're replacing an existing unit or installing in a new location, the type of fuel source (gas or electric), and any necessary modifications to plumbing or venting systems. Our experienced technicians at Cavinder Plumbing, Heating and Cooling will assess your specific situation and provide an accurate timeline during the consultation.

The appropriate water heater size depends on your household's hot water demand. As a general guideline: 1-2 people typically need a 30-40 gallon tank, 2-3 people need 40-50 gallons, 3-4 people need 50-60 gallons, and larger families of 5+ people usually require 60-80 gallons. Our team will evaluate your household size, water usage patterns, and peak demand times to recommend the optimal capacity for your needs.

Yes, we provide comprehensive warranty coverage on our water heater installations. The equipment itself comes with manufacturer warranties - typically 6 years standard with optional 10-year upgrades on brands like Lochinvar, State, and Bradford White. Additionally, Cavinder Plumbing, Heating and Cooling stands behind our workmanship with installation warranties. We'll explain all warranty details before beginning your installation so you have complete peace of mind.

Both gas and electric tank water heaters have advantages. Gas water heaters typically heat water faster and have lower operating costs, making them ideal for larger households with high hot water demand. Electric water heaters are generally more energy-efficient, easier to install, and work well in homes without gas lines. Our technicians will consider your existing utilities, home infrastructure, usage patterns, and long-term operating costs to recommend the best option for your Granger home.

Cavinder Plumbing, Heating and Cooling specializes in installing premium tank water heater brands including Lochinvar, State, and Bradford White. These manufacturers are known for their reliability, efficiency, and durability. We particularly feature Lochinvar water heaters, offering both standard venting and power venting models in various capacities (40-75 gallons) to meet different household needs. All our brands come with strong warranty coverage and proven performance records.

Water heater installation costs vary based on several factors including the tank size, fuel type (gas or electric), brand and model selected, installation complexity, necessary modifications to plumbing or venting, and whether it's a replacement or new installation. We recommend contacting us at (574) 633-4557 for a personalized quote. Our team will assess your specific needs and provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

Yes, water heater installations in Granger, IN typically require a permit to ensure the work meets local building codes and safety standards. As a licensed plumbing contractor, Cavinder Plumbing, Heating and Cooling handles all necessary permits and inspections as part of our installation service. This ensures your new water heater is installed correctly and safely, protecting your home and maintaining compliance with local regulations.

Standard venting (atmospheric venting) water heaters use natural draft to exhaust combustion gases vertically through a chimney or vent pipe. Power venting water heaters use an electric blower to force exhaust gases out, allowing for horizontal venting through a sidewall. Power vented models offer more flexible installation locations and are often more energy-efficient, with ENERGY STAR certified options available. Our technicians will recommend the best venting option based on your home's layout and existing infrastructure.

With proper installation and regular maintenance, tank water heaters typically last 10-15 years. Factors affecting lifespan include water quality, frequency of use, maintenance schedule, and the quality of the unit itself. Premium brands like Lochinvar, State, and Bradford White are built for durability and longevity. To maximize your water heater's lifespan, we recommend annual maintenance including flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup and checking the anode rod. Our team can set up a maintenance schedule to keep your system running efficiently.
