Tell us what’s happening
Which option fits your hot-water use?
A fault may be repairable. If replacement is appropriate, compare peak use, utilities and installation space.
- Gas storage tank
- Stores hot water and reheats it with a burner. Compare capacity, recovery and venting.
- Electric storage tank
- Heats stored water with elements. Compare capacity and reheating with busy periods.
- Tankless
- Heats flowing water. Compare simultaneous use and output at incoming-water conditions.
- Heat pump or hybrid
- Moves heat from surrounding air into stored water. Review room conditions and operating modes.
Before you agree
What should the work include?
Review what the work addresses, the equipment and connections involved, and what is excluded. The proposed work and price should be clear before you approve it.

Know what happens next
Before and after the visit
Describe what changed
Describe changes in your hot water as best you can, such as a leak, a new noise or water that turns cold. You do not need model details; we’ll identify the heater.
Review the options and full price
Compare the findings, equipment condition and complete installed or repair work before approval.
Confirm routine care
Ask about model-appropriate sediment flushing, anode and relief-valve checks for tanks, or descaling and filter care for tankless units. Review any separately priced supplies, cleaning or further work before approval.

Before you decide
Water heater questions
Review the common questions and explore simultaneous fixture use with the hot-water planning tool. A water-heater recommendation also needs demand, temperature-rise and installation checks.
How should I compare the three heater types?
Storage tanks are compared around busiest-hour demand and recovery; tankless output depends on simultaneous flow at the required temperature rise; heat-pump storage also needs suitable air, temperature and drainage conditions. Compare the full supporting work and care, not a universal capacity or savings promise.
Does no hot water mean I need replacement?
Not automatically. Heating and control faults can be repairable. The findings, tank condition, parts and household needs guide the recommendation.
How should I compare running costs?
Compare the specific equipment, household use, utility rates and operating conditions alongside the complete installation and care costs. A heater type alone does not establish savings.
How long should I keep the current heater?
Age is one consideration. Condition, leaks, repair needs, parts and whether the heater still meets demand matter; an age alone does not establish that replacement is needed.
How often does a water heater need maintenance?
Follow the specific model’s guidance and water conditions. Ask about tank sediment flushing, anode and relief-valve checks, or tankless descaling as applicable. Confirm the work and price before arranging care.
