  • How long does a water heater usually last?

    Our expert technicians have found that the average lifespan of a traditional tank water heater is about 12 to 15 years, depending on the quality of the unit, the hardness of the water, and how well it’s maintained. We've found that tankless water heaters can last up to 20 years or more with proper maintenance. Call Cooper Plumbing LLC today for more information about your water heater!

  • Why does it take so long to get hot water at my tap or shower? How can I get it faster?

    Waiting a long time at the faucet for hot water is usually due to the home's plumbing. When the hot water leaves the water heater's tank, it has to travel through the piping to reach the faucet. If you have a ranch-style home or a large home, sometimes these “plumbing runs” can be long, and it takes a while for the hot water to arrive. Re-circulation pump systems are a solution to this problem and are a good way to save energy and water while you wait.

  • How do I know what kind and size of water heater I have?

    The label on your water heater should list the size. Determining the kind you have can be tricky so we’d be happy to walk you through it if you call our office. Our experienced plumbers will be looking for indicators that determine whether it is gas or electric and whether it has a power vent or atmospheric vent. 

  • How do I determine the right size water heater?

    There are several factors we suggest considering:


    • The number of bedrooms and/or people in your house.
    • Is your need for hot water growing, staying about the same, or diminishing?
    • Are you planning on moving in the near future, and if so, what size might a prospective buyer expect in your size home?
    • Does it ruin your day when you run out of hot water or is it just a minor inconvenience?
    • Are you willing to alternate your shower and laundry usage to avoid running out of hot water?
    • How important is energy and water conservation to you?

    Once you've answered these questions, the experts at Cooper Plumbing LLC can help you find a water heater perfect for your home!

  • What is the best water heater for me to purchase?

    According to Forbes, the average cost to replace a water heater is about $1,200, so you'll want to ensure you're making the right choice. There are many options for water heaters when it comes time for a replacement. The best option is a professional-grade water heater installed by a licensed plumber. The most important factors to consider when choosing a water heater are:


    • The size and usage of your household.
    • Your future water demands.
    • How long you plan to stay in your current home.

    We suggest you do a little research and check out your options before making a final purchase. Our plumbers find that traditional tank hot water heaters come in sizes from 30 gallons up to 100 gallons and offer gas, electric, or propane types. Tankless and hybrid water heaters are rapidly increasing in popularity for their energy and water-saving benefits. We’ll be happy to discuss the types of water heaters available and provide recommendations.
