What Is a Hot Water Tank?
A hot water tank, also called a water heater, is a crucial household appliance that stores and heats water for everyday use. It provides hot water for:
- Showers and baths
- Dishwashing and kitchen tasks
- Laundry
- Cleaning and other household chores
In Coquitlam’s wet and cool climate, having a dependable hot water system is essential for comfort and convenience. Over time, water heaters can develop issues due to age, sediment buildup, or faulty components making timely repairs critical.
Types of Hot Water Tanks in Coquitlam Homes
01
Electric Hot Water Tanks
Electric water heaters are common in homes without natural gas connections. They use electrical heating elements to heat water and are reliable, cost effective, and can last 10–15 years with proper maintenance.
02
Gas Hot Water Tanks
Gas-powered tanks are perfect for homes with natural gas service. They heat water faster than electric models and are often more energy efficient, especially in larger households.
03
Tankless (On-Demand) Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters only heat water when needed, providing endless hot water while saving energy. They are compact, space saving, and environmentally friendly, making them ideal for modern Coquitlam homes.
04
Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heaters
Hybrid models combine traditional water heating with heat pump technology. These systems are energy efficient, reduce utility costs, and are perfect for homeowners seeking a smaller carbon footprint
How Does a Hot Water Tank Work?
A water heater operates in a few simple steps:
- Cold water enters the tank through your plumbing system.
- Electric elements or gas burners heat the water to the desired temperature.
- The thermostat maintains the set temperature and ensures safe operation.
- Heated water rises to the top and flows to your taps whenever needed.
Over time, components can fail due to sediment buildup, worn-out heating elements, or thermostat issues, which may reduce efficiency or lead to complete system failure.
When Should You Repair Your Hot Water Tank?
You should call a professional if you notice any of the following:
- No hot water or water taking longer than usual to heat
- Unusual noises such as popping, rumbling, or banging
- Water leaks or puddles around the tank
- Rust colored, discolored, or foul smelling water
- Unexpected increase in energy bills
- Water heater older than 10 years showing signs of wear
Early repairs can prevent costly damage and avoid total system failure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
On average, a hot water tank lasts between 8 to 15 years, depending on the type and how well it’s maintained. Regular service can help extend the lifespan of your tank.
If your tank is relatively new and the repair is minor, it’s typically better to repair. If it’s more than 10 years old and needs frequent repairs, a replacement might be the more cost-effective option.
If you hear popping or rumbling sounds, it’s usually a sign of sediment buildup inside the tank. This can reduce efficiency and damage the tank over time, so it’s best to have it cleaned out.
