Frequently Asked Questions

Should I upgrade the builder-installed water heater in a new home?

Often worth considering. Builder-grade water heaters are selected to minimize construction cost and may carry shorter warranties or use lower-quality components. If you have a large household, high hot water demand, or plan to stay in the home long-term, upgrading to a Bradford White, A.O. Smith, or a tankless unit before closing can be negotiated into the build contract -- often at a lower installed cost than a post-construction replacement. Ask the builder for the specific model installed and research its warranty and reviews.

Why is my new water heater slower to recover than my old one?

If the new unit is the same size and type as the old one, slower recovery usually means a lower BTU or wattage rating, a thermostat set lower than your previous unit, or an issue with the installation such as gas pressure not checked or a heating element not fully seated. Compare the first-hour rating on the EnergyGuide label between your old and new units. If the specs match and recovery is still slow, call the installing plumber -- it is likely a setup issue they should address at no charge.

How long does a water heater repair typically take?

Most common repairs — replacing a heating element, thermostat, anode rod, or pressure relief valve — take 1–2 hours. More involved work like flushing heavy sediment buildup or repairing a flue can take 2–4 hours. If the plumber determines the unit needs replacement, expect 2–3 hours for a standard tank swap, slightly longer for tankless.

What happens during a water heater installation?

A licensed plumber will shut off water and power (or gas), drain and remove the old unit, install the new one with proper connections and code-compliant venting, test the pressure relief valve, check for leaks, and verify proper operation before leaving. For gas units they'll also test combustion and verify proper draft. Most companies haul away the old unit.
