Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters are a modern, energy-efficient alternative to traditional storage tanks. These systems heat water on demand, meaning they only use energy when hot water is needed.
Key Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters:
- Endless Hot Water – Never run out of hot water, even with back-to-back showers.
- Energy Savings – No need to keep a tank heated 24/7, reducing energy bills.
- Space-Saving Design – Compact and wall-mounted, freeing up storage space.
- Longer Lifespan – Typically lasts 20 years or more, nearly double that of traditional tank water heaters.
Tankless systems are ideal for energy-conscious homeowners or households with limited space. If you’re considering an upgrade, our team can help determine if a tankless water heater is right for your home.
Storage Water Heaters (Tank-Type)
Traditional storage water heaters are the most common type found in homes. These systems store and heat a specific amount of water in a tank, keeping it ready for use at all times.
Key Benefits of Storage Water Heaters:
- Reliable & Cost-Effective – More affordable upfront compared to tankless systems.
- Available in Gas or Electric Models – Choose the power source that works best for your home.
- Consistent Hot Water – Ideal for households with steady but predictable hot water needs.
- Easier Maintenance & Repairs – Simple design means lower repair costs if issues arise.
Storage water heaters are a great option for larger households or homes where multiple people may need hot water at the same time.

- Efficiency Testing – After repairs, we check your unit for proper heating, pressure, and energy efficiency to ensure long-lasting performance.

Signs Your Water Heater May Be Beyond Repair
Sometimes, repairs may not be enough, and replacing your water heater is the best solution. Look out for these signs that your system may need a replacement:
- Water is not heating properly or running out too quickly – This could indicate a failing heating element or sediment buildup.
- Unusual noises like banging or rumbling coming from the tank – Sediment accumulation can cause overheating and tank damage.
- Rust-colored water or visible corrosion on the water heater – This could signal tank deterioration, increasing the risk of leaks.
- Frequent leaks or pooling water around the unit – Water leaks may mean internal tank failure, requiring a full replacement.
- The unit is over 10-15 years old and showing signs of inefficiency – Aging water heaters lose efficiency, costing you more in energy bills.
If you notice any of these issues, Romano Plumbing can help you determine whether a repair or full replacement is the best option for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a water heater typically last?
Most traditional tank water heaters last between 8-12 years, while tankless water heaters can last 15-20 years with proper maintenance.
What’s the benefit of switching to a tankless water heater?
Tankless water heaters provide endless hot water on demand, are more energy-efficient, and take up less space compared to traditional storage tanks.
How often should I flush my water heater?
For best performance, tank water heaters should be flushed at least once a year to remove sediment buildup that can reduce efficiency.
Why is my water heater making a rumbling noise?
Rumbling or banging noises often indicate sediment buildup in the tank, which can cause overheating and damage over time. A professional flush may resolve the issue.
How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement?
If your water heater is leaking, not heating properly, over 10 years old, or has rust-colored water, it may be time for a replacement rather than a repair.
