Types of Water Heaters We Install

Traditional Tank Water Heaters

Traditional gas tank models are a reservoir of hot water, holding anywhere from 30 to 80 gallons. These units fit standard basements or garages and are suitable for families that require high hot water volume. Traditional water heaters are reliable, affordable options for most Minneapolis-St. Paul households.

Signs You Need a New Water Heater Installation

These are the signs you need a new water heater installed in Minneapolis.

  1. No Hot Water: Hot water that never works or turns cold midway through your shower is a bad sign. Unexpected hot water is also a sign of unit failure.
  2. Leaks/Puddles: Leaks may come from pressure or temperature issues or a failed relief valve and can become dangerous if ignored.
  3. Rumbling Noises: Loud knocking or rumbling sounds usually signal sediment buildup inside the tank. Regular flushing removes deposits, but persistent noises indicate your heater needs replacement.
  4. Rusty Water: Discolored or rusty water may indicate corrosion inside the tank. Depending on the extent and location of the rust, replacement may be necessary.
  5. Poor Water Pressure: Low water pressure on hot may signal issues with your water heater.
  6. Rising Energy Bills: Increasing utility bills may be a sign that your unit is damaged or corroding.
  7. 8+ Year Old Unit: A well-maintained water heater can function for 12 years or more, but once it reaches 8 years, you may notice more and more malfunctions.

Putting off water heater replacement can lead to flooding, sudden cold showers, or mold growth, which is common in humid Minnesota summers. Total Comfort professionals can install same-day or next-day for urgent needs.
