Frequently Asked Questions •

Frequently Asked Questions •

  • Most traditional tank water heaters last 8–12 years with proper maintenance. Tankless models can last 15–20 years. At Varg Enterprises INC, we help you assess whether your unit needs repair, maintenance, or replacement.

  • Common signs include:

    • Rust-colored or metallic-tasting water

    • Leaks around the unit

    • Strange noises (rumbling, popping, or banging)

    • Inconsistent water temperature

    • Unit age of 10+ years

    If you’re noticing these, it may be time to schedule a replacement.

    • Tank water heaters store and heat a set amount of water, usually 30–80 gallons.

    • Tankless water heaters heat water on demand, offering endless hot water and better energy efficiency.
      We install both types and will recommend the best fit based on your household size and budget.

  • We recommend flushing your water heater at least once a year to remove sediment buildup, especially in areas with hard water. Tankless systems also need periodic descaling. Regular maintenance helps extend the lifespan of your unit.

  • Noises like rumbling or popping often mean there’s sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. This reduces efficiency and can shorten the heater’s life. A professional flush from Varg Enterprises INC can resolve this issue.

  • Minor issues (like a faulty thermostat, heating element, or valve) can often be repaired. But if the tank itself is corroding or leaking, replacement is the only safe option. We’ll diagnose the problem and give you honest recommendations.

  • Tankless systems cost more upfront but often last longer, reduce energy bills, and provide endless hot water. They’re a great option for families or homes in WNC that need efficient, space-saving solutions.

  • The right size depends on your household size, hot water usage, and appliance needs. Generally…

    • Small homes may only need 30–40 gallons.

    • Larger homes or families may need 50–80 gallons or a tankless system.
      We’ll assess your needs and recommend the ideal size during your consultation.
