Water Heating Options For All Budgets And Capacities
Old hot water tanks might cost you more on energy bills if they do not run properly. You should get a new hot water tank every 8 to 10 years.

Let one of our certified technicians recommend the right solution based on your budget, hot water requirements, and priorities. In addition to the regular tanks, there are three types of water heaters available:
TANKLESS WATER HEATERS
These heat cold water on demand only as needed, generally making them more efficient than standard tank models.

Where hot water usage is low, the cost of operating an electric water heater can be lower than the cost of a natural gas unit.

Signs That Show You Need To Replace or Repair Your Hot Water Tank
Hot water tanks work well for about 8-10 years. You can check the date on your tank yourself, as for most brands, the first four digits of the serial number indicate the month and year of manufacture. Look out for the below-mentioned signs to know if you need to repair or replace your current unit:
NO HOT WATER
This could be because of a failed pilot light that serves as the ignition source for your burner or a damaged or disconnected dip tube.
NOT ENOUGH HOT WATER
This usually means your tanker is too small for your requirements. We have solutions for all sizes and types of issues, and our staff will be more than happy to walk you through them to help you make the right decision for your needs.
LEAKING TANK
Our professional technicians can effortlessly handle this serious issue. If you see water around your tank, shut off the fuel source and then the cold water supply and call a professional heating tank repairman to look at the issue.
BOILING OR HISSING SOUNDS COMING FROM THE TANK
A hissing sound may result from a corroded or cracked tanker liner, causing hot water to leak and steam inside the tank. Boiling sounds from your tank could be bubbling through sediment at the bottom of the tank or overheating due to a faulty thermostat or some other mechanical issue.

Hot Water Tank Maintenance Tips
Proper hot water tank maintenance can extend its lifespan and ensure efficient performance. Here are some essential maintenance tips to keep your hot water tank in optimal condition:
Proper hot water tank maintenance can extend its lifespan and ensure efficient performance. Here are some essential maintenance tips to keep your hot water tank in optimal condition:
REGULAR INSPECTION
Schedule regular inspections of your hot water tank to check for leaks, rust, or signs of wear and tear. Also, inspect the pressure relief valve to ensure it’s functioning correctly.
FLUSHING THE TANK
Flushing your hot water tank annually helps remove sediment buildup and mineral deposits that can affect efficiency. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions or consult a professional plumber for proper flushing procedures.
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE
Set the temperature of your hot water tank to a safe and energy-efficient level. Too high a temperature can lead to scalding and increased energy consumption, while too low a temperature may not provide sufficient hot water.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE CHECKS
Schedule regular maintenance checks with a licensed plumber to inspect and service your hot water tank. They can identify and address any potential issues early, preventing costly repairs or replacements down the line.
Choosing the Right Hot Water Tank
Choosing the right hot water tank for your home or business is crucial for efficient water heating and energy savings. Here are factors to consider when selecting a hot water tank:
TANK SIZE AND CAPACITY
Determine the size and capacity of the hot water tank based on your household or business’s hot water usage. Consider the number of occupants, daily hot water demands, and peak usage times to ensure adequate supply.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Traditional hot water tanks constantly battle heat loss. Newer, energy-efficient models are armed with thicker, high-performance insulation. This thicker insulation acts like a super-insulated jacket, significantly reducing the amount of heat escaping the tank. Less heat loss means your water heater doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain temperature, resulting in substantial energy savings and lower utility bills.
TANK TYPE
Select the appropriate tank type based on your preferences and space constraints. Choose from traditional tank-style heaters, tankless water heaters for on-demand hot water, or hybrid heat pump water heaters for enhanced efficiency.
ENERGY SOURCE
Hot water tanks run on electricity or natural gas. Electric heaters are ideal for smaller homes or areas without gas, while gas heaters are more cost-effective for larger homes.
SPACE
Tankless water heaters are compact and save space, while traditional tanks need more floor space.
BUDGET
Consider both the initial cost and long-term energy savings. Energy-efficient models may have a higher upfront cost but save money over time.
WARRANTY AND RELIABILITY
Check the warranty period and reliability of the hot water tank brand and model. Look for extended warranties and reputable brands known for durability and reliable performance.
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION
Hire a licensed and experienced plumber to ensure proper hot water tank installation. Professional installation ensures safety, compliance with building codes, and optimal hot water system performance.
Following these maintenance tips and considerations when choosing a hot water tank can ensure long-lasting performance, energy efficiency, and comfort for your home or business. Contact Neptune Plumbing & Heating Ltd. for professional advice and services related to hot water tanks in Calgary.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are answers to some of Calgary’s most common questions about hot water tanks:
How Long Does a Hot Water Tank Last?
The lifespan of a hot water tank depends on the type and maintenance. Traditional tanks typically last 8-12 years, while tankless water heaters can last up to 20 years with proper care. Regular maintenance can help extend the life of your unit.
What Is the Difference Between Tankless and Traditional Water Heaters?
Tankless water heaters heat water on demand, eliminating the need for storage and making them more energy-efficient. Traditional water heaters store hot water in a tank and are generally less expensive upfront but can result in energy loss over time.
Are Energy-efficient Hot Water Tanks Worth the Investment?
Yes, energy-efficient models can help reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills in the long run. While they may have a higher initial cost, the savings on energy bills typically make them a wise investment over time.
