Frequently Asked Questions

How long do hot water systems last?

Typical lifespan is 10-15 years, though some quality systems last 20+ years with regular maintenance. Solar systems can last 25-30 years.

How much does a new hot water system cost?

Electric systems range from $500-1,200, gas from $1,000-2,000, solar from $2,500-5,000. We provide free quotes for all options.

Should I upgrade to a solar system?

Solar systems reduce energy bills significantly and qualify for rebates. If you have north-facing roof space and stay in your home long enough, payback period is typically 5-7 years.

How often should hot water systems be serviced?

We recommend annual servicing to maintain efficiency, extend life, and ensure safety. Flushing every 2-3 years removes sediment buildup.

Why is my hot water bill so high?

Aging systems are inefficient. A 10+ year old system may use 50% more energy than modern units. An upgrade could save $300-800 annually.
