FAQs
What size tank water heater do I need for my Englewood home?
Most households need 10–15 gallons of hot water per person. A family of four in Englewood usually does well with a 40–50 gallon electric or natural-gas model. Larger families, high-flow fixtures, or homes with soaking tubs may require 66–80 gallon tanks. During an on-site visit our technicians calculate peak demand, recovery rate, fuel type, and space constraints before recommending the ideal capacity.
How long does a typical tank water heater last in Englewood’s climate?
With proper installation and annual maintenance, standard glass-lined steel tanks last 8–12 years. Harder Englewood water can shorten life expectancy by causing sediment buildup and corrosion, but flushing the tank and replacing the anode rod every 1–2 years can add several years of service. Stainless-steel or high-efficiency models may reach 15-20 years.
What maintenance is required to keep my hot water heater running efficiently?
1) Drain 2–3 gallons from the bottom every six months to remove sediment. 2) Flush the entire tank yearly. 3) Inspect the anode rod after the second year and replace when more than 50 % depleted. 4) Test the temperature-pressure relief (TPR) valve annually. 5) Check for gas leaks or electrical connection issues. Our Hot Shower Plumbing Club provides discounted scheduled maintenance visits covering all these tasks.
Why am I suddenly running out of hot water faster than usual?
Common causes include: a failed lower heating element or thermostat (electric units), broken dip tube mixing cold water at the top of the tank, sediment covering the gas burner or electric elements, or increased household demand. Schedule a diagnostic; we carry replacement parts and can flush sediment on the spot to restore full capacity.
Are energy-efficient or high-recovery models worth the extra cost?
Yes. High-efficiency (0.64–0.72 UEF for gas, 0.93–0.95 UEF for electric) and high-recovery units heat water faster and retain heat longer, reducing standby losses. Many Englewood customers cut utility bills 15–25 %. Colorado offers rebates for Energy Star–rated heaters, and we handle the paperwork. The payback period is typically 3–5 years, sooner with rising fuel prices.
How quickly can Hot Shower Plumbing replace a leaking water heater in Englewood?
We provide same-day emergency replacements. Call before noon and our licensed plumber will arrive within two hours, drain and remove the failed unit, update venting and supply lines, install the new tank, fill, test, and haul away the old heater—all in about 3–4 hours. Permitting is handled electronically with the City of Englewood so you regain hot water with minimal downtime.
