Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Tankless water heaters are highly energy-efficient as they heat water on demand, eliminating the standby heat loss associated with traditional tank models. They also take up less space and typically have a longer lifespan. In areas like Greenville and Simpsonville, where space can be a premium, the compact design of tankless heaters is particularly advantageous. Additionally, they provide an endless supply of hot water, making them ideal for larger households.
If you notice your water heater leaking, it’s important to turn off the electric and/or gas supply and water inlet to the heater to prevent further damage. Then, contact a professional plumber immediately. Leaks can lead to significant water damage and should be addressed promptly by our expert team at Babb’s Plumbing. Prompt attention can also help prevent mold growth and other water-related issues.
The average lifespan of a traditional tank water heater is 10-12 years, while tankless water heaters can last up to 20 years with proper maintenance. Regular servicing and timely repairs can help extend the life of your water heater. If your unit is nearing the end of its lifespan, consider consulting with Babb’s Plumbing for replacement options. Upgrading to a newer model can also provide better efficiency and reliability.
