FAQ's
How can I tell if my water heater needs repair or replacement?
Common signs include inconsistent hot water, unusual noises, rusty water, or leaks around the tank. If your unit is over 10 years old, repairs may only delay the inevitable. Pete’s Plumbing Repair LLC evaluates your system based on age, condition, efficiency, and repair history to help you decide whether fixing or replacing your water heater makes more long-term sense—especially in New Jersey’s cold winters when failure can be urgent.
What’s the average lifespan of a water heater in New Jersey homes?
Traditional tank-style water heaters last about 8–12 years, while tankless units can last 15–20 years with proper maintenance. Hard water, poor venting, and lack of flushing can shorten lifespan. Pete’s Plumbing Repair LLC offers regular maintenance plans that remove sediment and keep your system running efficiently, helping extend your unit’s life and reduce breakdowns in Bergen and Passaic County’s variable climate.
Are tankless water heaters a better option than traditional tanks?
It depends on your home’s needs. Tankless water heaters offer on-demand hot water, energy savings, and longer lifespans, but they cost more upfront and may require system upgrades. Traditional tanks are more affordable to install and suitable for homes with simultaneous hot water demands. Pete’s Plumbing Repair LLC helps you compare both options based on household size, usage patterns, and budget to ensure the best fit.
Is it dangerous if my water heater is making loud popping or banging noises?
These noises are typically caused by mineral or sediment buildup inside the tank. As water heats, trapped air bubbles escape through the sediment, causing popping sounds. While not immediately dangerous, this buildup can damage your tank and lead to leaks or overheating. Pete’s Plumbing Repair LLC performs safe, professional flushing to remove deposits and prevent further damage.
Can a water heater leak cause serious damage if ignored?
Yes. Even small leaks can lead to mold growth, flooring damage, and structural issues, especially in basements or closets with poor drainage. Leaks may stem from failing valves, rusted tanks, or excessive pressure. Pete’s Plumbing Repair LLC responds quickly to leak calls, isolates the issue, and provides same-day repairs or replacements when needed to protect your property.
How does New Jersey’s hard water affect my water heater?
Hard water—common in Bergen and Passaic counties—leads to mineral scale buildup in water heaters, reducing energy efficiency and shortening the lifespan of components. Heating elements may become coated, forcing the unit to work harder. Pete’s Plumbing Repair LLC recommends periodic flushing and the optional installation of water softeners or sediment filters to help your heater run cleaner and last longer.
How long does it take to replace a water heater?
Most replacements take 2 to 4 hours, depending on the type of unit and site conditions. If your system requires electrical or gas line upgrades, it may take longer. Pete’s Plumbing Repair LLC ensures a smooth, fast process with minimal disruption. We also haul away your old unit and verify that your new water heater is properly sized and optimized for your home.
Are there energy-efficient water heaters that qualify for rebates in New Jersey?
Yes. ENERGY STAR®-rated water heaters may qualify for NJ Clean Energy rebates or federal tax incentives, especially if you upgrade to tankless or high-efficiency gas units. Pete’s Plumbing Repair LLC stays updated on available rebate programs and can help guide you through the paperwork to maximize savings on energy-efficient upgrades.
Can Pete’s Plumbing Repair LLC help if my pilot light keeps going out?
Yes. A flickering or extinguished pilot light can be caused by a faulty thermocouple, drafts, dirty burners, or gas control valve issues. It’s a common problem with gas water heaters, especially older models. Our technicians can diagnose and fix the problem quickly, ensuring safe and reliable operation—often during the same service call.
Do you install water heaters in multi-family or commercial properties?
Yes. We service and install water heaters for apartment buildings, duplexes, restaurants, retail spaces, and other commercial locations. These projects often require larger capacity units, multiple connections, and code compliance. Pete’s Plumbing Repair LLC has the licensing, equipment, and experience to handle these installations with precision and minimal disruption to tenants or operations.
