Replace your water heater in St. Augustine when it is over 10 to 12 years old, produces rusty or discolored water indicating internal corrosion, leaks from the tank body, requires frequent repairs, or no longer meets your household hot water demand. A water heater approaching these conditions often fails unexpectedly — replacement before failure avoids an emergency.
Extend the life of your new water heater in St. Augustine by flushing the tank annually to remove sediment, replacing the anode rod every 3 to 5 years, setting the thermostat to 120°F to reduce mineral buildup and tank stress, and inspecting the T&P valve annually. Phoenician Plumbing offers annual water heater maintenance service in St. Augustine to keep your unit running efficiently.
For a tank water heater, the right size depends on the number of occupants: 30 to 40 gallons for 1 to 2 people, 40 to 50 gallons for 3 to 4 people, and 50 to 80 gallons for larger households. For tankless units, the required flow rate in GPM determines the correct unit size. Phoenician Plumbing assesses your household demand and recommends the right unit for your St. Augustine home.
Tank water heaters cost less upfront and are simpler to install. Tankless units provide endless hot water on demand and typically have lower operating costs, but cost more initially. For most St. Augustine families, a quality tank unit in the correct size is the most cost-effective choice. Our plumbers help you compare the total cost of ownership for your specific situation.
