How long do water heaters typically last?
Traditional tank water heaters last around 8 to 12 years, while tankless units can last up to 20 years with proper maintenance. If your water heater is over 10 years old and showing signs of wear, it may be time to consider a replacement.
What size water heater do I need for my home?
It depends on your household size and water usage. A 40- to 50-gallon tank is typically suitable for 2–4 people. Larger households or those with high hot water demand may benefit from a tankless system for continuous supply. We’ll help you determine the right fit.
Should I switch to a tankless water heater?
Tankless units are energy-efficient, space-saving, and provide endless hot water. They're a great option if you're looking to upgrade or have limited space. We offer professional installation for both gas and electric tankless models.
Why is my water heater making a rumbling noise?
That noise is usually caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. Over time, sediment can reduce efficiency and damage the unit. A quick tank flush can often fix the issue—something our team can take care of during a service call.

If you're asking yourself, "Is it really necessary to flush my water heater?" The answer is YES! Over time, minerals, rust, and debris build up inside your water heater—especially if you live in an area with hard water (like much of the Inland Empire). This sediment settles at the bottom of your tank, forming a thick layer that forces your system to work harder and heat less efficiently.
Here’s what sediment buildup can lead to:
♦ Longer wait times for hot water
♦ Increased energy bills
♦ Loud banging, popping, or rumbling noises
♦ Premature system failure
♦ Rusty or discolored water
Just like changing the oil in your car, flushing your water heater annually keeps everything running smoothly. It helps extend the lifespan of the unit, improves heating performance, and keeps your water cleaner and safer for everyday use.
If you've never had your water heater flushed, there could be inches of sludge sitting inside your tank right now.
