Signs You Need a Water Heater Replacement
When determining if you need a water heater repair or replacement, our professional plumbers are here with honest recommendations. We’ll help you determine if your system isn’t operating at peak performance due to minor issues or if the unit is beyond repair.
Signs that you may need a water heater replacement include:
- Advanced system age: Most standard water heaters last about 8 to 12 years, while tankless models last closer to 15 or 20. If your system is reaching the end of its life span, it’s a good time to consider replacement.
- Frequent repairs: While a new water heater is a major investment, it may be more cost-effective when your current system requires frequent and costly repairs.
- Repairs that cost more than 50% of the unit’s value: A repair that costs more than 50% of the unit’s value is usually not recommended. Expensive issues like corroded and leaky tanks often lead to replacement.
- Not enough hot water: If you often run out of hot water, it could be that your current system is undersized for your needs. A new, properly sized unit will provide the hot water you need and lower your utility bills.
If you’re experiencing these issues, call Acree at (813) 530-9061 today to schedule a water heater replacement in Tampa, Sarasota, or St. Petersburg.
Should I Switch to a Tankless Water Heater?
Acree can help determine if a standard or tankless water heater is right for your home.
Many Tampa Bay and Sarasota homeowners have upgraded to tankless water heaters for all the benefits they provide. However, standard tank water heaters are still the best option for large households with significant hot water needs.
Unlike a traditional system that heats water and stores it in a tank for future use, a tankless system heats your water on demand, passing through the unit on the way to your faucet.
These modern units offer endless hot water, greater energy efficiency, and a smaller carbon footprint.

Factors to Consider When Replacing Your Water Heater
If you’re ready to replace your current hot water system, you’ll want to consider the following options when making a selection that best meets your needs:
- Fuel type: The simplest option is to stay with the same fuel source as your last unit. We offer standard and tankless water heaters that run on gas or electricity.
- Size: Depending on the size of your family and the number of bathrooms you have, you’ll need to determine the flow rate and temperature rise required of your unit.
- Energy efficiency: Different water heater models have varying levels of energy efficiency. While a more efficient system may cost more, it may be a better financial decision in the long run due to the impact on your utility bills.
- Installation cost: Hiring a professional plumber is the best option to ensure your system is installed safely and properly. Installation costs can vary between standard and tankless options and often include removing the old system.
