Frequently Asked Questions

How long should a residential water heater actually last?

Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years, sometimes longer with annual flushes and an anode rod replacement around year five. Tankless units routinely hit 20 years or more with regular maintenance. If your tank is past year 10 and showing rust at the base, planning ahead is significantly less stressful than reacting to a failed unit in February.

Is tankless actually worth the higher upfront cost?

For most Bensalem-area households, yes, over the life of the unit. Tankless systems cost more to install, but they last roughly twice as long as a tank, deliver hot water on demand instead of running out mid-shower, and use less energy because they don’t reheat a stored tank around the clock. The payback period depends on household size and existing infrastructure.

When does it make more sense to repair a water heater than replace it?

Age and failure type are the two deciding factors. A thermocouple or heating element failure on a six-year-old unit is almost always worth repairing. The same repair on a 12-year-old tank with visible corrosion usually isn’t. Custom Aire’s technicians will walk through both options and the actual cost difference during the diagnostic visit.

What's the most common gas water heater repair you handle?

Pilot light and thermocouple failures, followed by gas control valve issues and ignition problems on newer units with electronic ignition. Most diagnoses happen on the first visit, and every gas water heater repair is covered by the 1-year no-breakdown guarantee on labor.
