Water Heater Replacement
Gas water heaters that are regularly inspected and maintained last between eight and 12 years, while well-maintained electric water heaters last 10 to 15 years. Tankless water heaters can last up to 20 years if well cared for.
Replacing your water heater when it’s on the decline instead of completely worn out can actually save you a lot of trouble and be more cost-efficient in the long run. This can prevent leaks, water damage, and increased fuel bills due to energy inefficiency.
When you need a new water heater, Buckner’s can help you find the right replacement for your home’s size, hot water consumption, and budget. We’ll also remove and dispose of your old system before performing a careful new water heater installation.
Water Heater Maintenance
A well-maintained water heater functions better, lasts longer, and saves you money in the long run. A tuned-up system runs smoothly and more efficiently, and regular inspections allow technicians to catch and repair small problems before they can become severe.

- Flushing the system
- Removing mineral buildup
- Checking and adjusting electrical connections
- Cleaning air intake filters
- And more

Frequently Asked Questions
Like every appliance, water heaters won’t work as effectively as they age. Older models and units that haven’t been properly maintained will struggle to heat water as efficiently as newer models. If this is the case for you, it may be time to consider a replacement. However, if you have a relatively new water heater that’s taking a long time to heat up, something could be wrong, so you should call for repairs.
The primary difference between these types of water heaters is that a traditional tank model stores hot water in a tank, whereas a tankless water heater heats water on demand without storing it. While this is their core difference, there are many other aspects to consider when deciding between the two. Tankless water heaters cost more upfront to install than traditional ones. However, they’re more energy-efficient, so they cost less to run. Due to having a tank, traditional water heaters are much larger, so tankless units are good for small spaces.
