New Jersey follows the International Plumbing Code (IPC) in which the requirement for an expansion tank for a water heater depends on the specific circumstances and local regulations. Expansion tanks are commonly recommended when a closed water system is present, helping manage thermal expansion. To ensure compliance, it's advisable to check with the local building department or consult with a licensed plumber in New Jersey. Building codes and regulations can be updated, so it's essential to verify with current local authorities for the most accurate information.
On average, traditional tank water heaters last around 10 to 15 years, while tankless water heaters can last 20 years or more. Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank and checking the anode rod, can extend the lifespan. Signs of aging, rust, or reduced efficiency may indicate the need for replacement. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines and consider professional inspections to gauge the remaining life of your specific water heater.
How Do I Know If I Need A New Water Heater?
Well the first sign is when that icy-cold water hits your skin when you least expect it. That could likely mean your existing heater doesn't have the capacity necessary to handle your entire family's needs. But there are other things you can look for that can tip you off it's time to think about a water heater replacement:
It's Old - Most tank-style water heaters can be expected to last anywhere from 8 to 12 years. If yours has celebrated a few too many birthdays, you'll want to start budgeting for a newer version. It's Uneven - Do you find that your water spends a lot of time jumping from hot to cold to hot to cold again? Chances are your heater can't maintain an even heat level, so it's got to go. It's Expensive - Has there been a sudden, inexplicable leap in your energy prices? We can offer one explanation - as your water heater ages and its efficiency drops, it uses more and more energy to hold the same amount of heat. It's Leaking - What, you've never visually inspected your water heater? Well first, you should do that. Second, if you do and you see it's leaking water, it may be on the verge of failure and it's likely more cost-effective to have it replaced.
Do You Install Tankless Water Heaters?
Absolutely! In fact, if you're replacing your water heater, we can't recommend a tankless unit enough. They're more energy efficient, take up way less space and most importantly - they provide hot water on demand. That's right.
