What is a Hot Water Tank?

A hot water tank, also known as a water heater, is a household appliance that stores and heats water for daily use. The tank fills with cold water, heats it to a set temperature, and keeps it hot until you need it. When you turn on a hot water tap, the system delivers warm water through your plumbing.

Types of Hot Water Tanks

01

Electric Hot Water Tanks

  • Heats water using electric elements inside the tank.
  • Common in homes without gas lines.
  • Usually lasts 10–15 years.
02

Gas Hot Water Tanks

  • Uses natural gas or propane to heat the water.
  • Heats faster than electric.
  • Needs proper venting and regular maintenance.
03

Tankless (On-Demand) Water Heaters

  • Heats water only when needed—no tank to store it.
  • Energy-efficient, compact, but more expensive upfront.
  • Lifespan around 20 years.
04

Hybrid Water Heaters

  • Combine heat pump technology with traditional heating.
  • Lower operating costs, higher efficiency.
  • Best for warmer climates or utility rooms.

How Do Hot Water Tanks Work?

The process is simple but powerful:

  1. Cold water enters the tank from the bottom.
  2. Heating elements or gas burners heat the water.
  3. A thermostat monitors the temperature and controls heating.
  4. Hot water rises to the top and exits when you open a tap.

Over time, parts wear out or sediment builds up, reducing efficiency and causing problems.

When Should You Repair Your Hot Water Tank?

Don’t wait until you’re out of hot water. Here are signs that your water heater needs attention:

Warning Signs:

  • No hot water or water takes too long to heat.
  • Strange noises like banging or popping.
  • Leaks or puddles near the tank.
  • Rust-colored or smelly water.
  • Higher energy bills.
  • The unit is over 10 years old.

Sometimes a simple repair can extend the life of your water heater and save you from an expensive replacement.

What We Fix

We repair all makes and models of hot water tanks, including:

  • Burners and elements
  • Thermostats and sensors
  • Leaks and pressure issues
  • Pilot lights and ignition systems
  • Anode rods (to prevent rust)
  • Sediment buildup and flushing

What Is a Mini Split & How Is It Related?

You might also hear about mini split systems—especially if you’re upgrading your home heating. A mini split is a type of ductless heating and cooling system, not directly related to hot water tanks, but great for keeping your whole home comfortable.

Some homes use mini split systems with heat pump water heaters, which are energy-efficient and part of the same eco-friendly setup.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

On average, 8–15 years, depending on the type and how well it’s maintained.

If your tank is less than 10 years old and the repair is minor, fixing it makes sense. If it's older and breaking down often, replacement may be more cost-effective.

Not really. Rumbling or popping sounds often mean there’s sediment buildup inside.

Yes, but be cautious. Turn off power/gas and water supply first. If you're unsure, we can do it safely for you.

Hired Centrum Solutions to diagnose and fix our broken heat pump. Amir was very courteous and thorough, and took the time needed to explain everything. Would hire them again!

We first contacted Centrum back in the winter inquiring about the heat pump. Amir was extremely knowledgeable and helpful when it came to choosing the right system for our home. We ended up reaching out again in April and getting the heat pump installed at the end of the May as we wanted to take advantage of the available rebates and Amir & Jenneth made it happen for us and they continued to assist us after while we were applying for the Loan & Rebates. We’re so happy to have AC in our home for the summer and would 100% recommend Centrum Solutions to anyone.

We had them come over to our place for a consultation to install a new Heat pump. Amir was amazing in explaining me everything and took time answering my questions. Jenneth also helped me answer all questions and filling up the application for FortisBC rebates. We ended up paying exactly what was quoted and no extra hidden costs.

Installation went very good. They took great care in doing everything properly and never felt like it was rushed to just finish the work.

It's been few weeks since the installation, heating works great and just waiting to test the AC unit once the hot weather sets in. But I am sure if any issues Amir and team will help to sort it out. I will try to update the review after year when I do my yearly service maintenance with them.

The technicians were highly knowledgeable, explaining everything in detail and diagnosing the issue quickly. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and completed the job faster than expected while maintaining top-notch quality.

Customer service was outstanding—Amir was courteous, friendly, and respectful of my home.

I also appreciated their honest and fair pricing. There were no hidden fees, and the quote they provided was accurate and reasonable for the high-quality service they delivered.

Overall, they turned what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth and hassle-free experience. I highly recommend Centrum solutions to anyone in need of reliable and professional HVAC and Plumbing services. I’ll definitely be calling them again for any future needs

We have used Centrum Solutions over the past two years for numerous projects, including 2 mini split heat pumps. Amir and Jenneth are lovely people who provide top-notch customer service. I always feel that Amir has my best interest in mind and strives to come up with a plan that takes into account my specific needs. I like knowing that I'm dealing with the owner of the company - Amir takes pride in his work, and it shows.

We had our hot water tank replaced with a tankless that Amir suggested and it has worked flawlessly over the last 2 years, we some small issues arise and Amir was here the same day or next to fix the issue.
He also replaced our old a/c with a new heat pump, this was a big job as our air handler was up in the attic, Amir and Bernardo removed the old unit and replaced it with new unit with precision. Even though it was hot up in the attic they never complained.
Amir was always patient to answer the many questions we asked him. He always returned my calls as many contractors never call back after a job is done.
They did an amazing job, very neat and clean work.
Would highly recommend Centrum Solutions

Centrum Team took quick action on getting a dual fuel hybrid heat pump/furnace installed that met Fortis's rebate policies. Jenneth was very helpful with ensuring the right equipment was selected and helped arrange the two assesments that were needed (air flow calc. and energuide). All around happy with the install and would recommend Centrum.

Their professionalism was evident from the outset as they efficiently handled our HVAC installation with a remarkable attention to detail. Unlike other installers, Centrum's commitment to getting the job done right the first time truly sets them apart.

Arim's excellent communication skills ensured that we were kept informed throughout the installation process, eliminating any uncertainties we might have had. It was evident that they prioritize customer satisfaction, going the extra mile to not only meet but exceed our expectations. What truly impressed us was the inclusion of some additional services, a thoughtful gesture that demonstrated their commitment to delivering value. Centrum's dedication, expertise, and focus on customer well-being make them a top choice in the HVAC industry.

We are extremely satisfied with the service provided by Centrum Solutions for the replacement of our furnace. The entire process, from receiving the initial quote to the installation, was truly enjoyable. Amir, the owner and operator of the business, impressed us with his expertise and amiable demeanor. He took the time to explain all the details, enabling us to make a well-informed decision.

Furthermore, Jenneth, the Administrative Manager, was exceptionally responsive and provided valuable assistance in securing government rebates. We wholeheartedly endorse Centrum Solutions for all heating and cooling projects and highly recommend their services
