Frequently Asked Questions about Water Heaters
How do I know if my water heater needs to be replaced?
Common signs include fluctuating water temperature, rumbling or banging noises from the tank, rusty or discolored water, visible leaks, or a noticeable drop in water pressure. Age is also a big factor — most traditional tank water heaters last 8–12 years, while tankless models can last 20+ years with proper maintenance. If your unit is near the end of its lifespan or showing multiple warning signs, replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
How long does it take to install a new water heater?
In most cases, our professional installation team can remove your old unit and install your new water heater in a single visit — often within 2–4 hours. The exact time depends on the type of water heater you choose, the complexity of the installation, and whether any plumbing or electrical upgrades are needed.
What’s the difference between a heat pump water heater and a standard electric water heater?
A standard electric water heater uses electric elements to generate heat directly, while a heat pump water heater uses advanced technology to move heat from the surrounding air into the water. This process uses far less energy — often making heat pump models 2–4 times more efficient. They can save homeowners hundreds of dollars annually on energy bills, and with the available $1300 rebate, the upgrade is more affordable than ever.
Can a tankless water heater provide enough hot water for my whole house?
Yes, when properly sized for your home’s needs. Tankless water heaters heat water on demand, so they never “run out” of hot water like a tank system. Our team will calculate your household’s peak hot water usage to ensure your unit is powerful enough to handle multiple showers, appliances, and faucets running at the same time.
How can I qualify for the $1300 rebate on a heat pump water heater?
The rebate applies to qualifying ENERGY STAR® Certified Heat Pump Water Heaters purchased and installed by participating contractors. Modern Supply will guide you through the entire process — from selecting a qualifying model to handling the rebate paperwork — so you get your savings as quickly and easily as possible.
Which type of water heater is best for me?
The right choice depends on your household size, hot water usage patterns, available energy sources (gas or electric), and your budget. Heat pump models are best for long-term energy savings, tankless units are great for unlimited hot water and space savings, gas water heaters excel in quick heating and low operating costs, and electric water heaters are a solid budget-friendly option. Our team can help you compare all options and find the perfect fit.
