East Texas conditions

Hard, mineral-heavy water in parts of East Texas accelerates sediment buildup in tanks, which is why flushing matters here and why heaters in this region often show their age early.

Water Heater Replacement questions

How long should a water heater last?
Most tank units run roughly eight to twelve years depending on water quality and maintenance. Age plus a leak from the tank body almost always means replacement.
Can I switch from electric to gas?
Often yes, but it depends on whether gas and proper venting are available at the location. We will check before quoting.
