Thousand Oaks Water Heater FAQs
Q: What is the lifespan of a water heater?

Q: How do you know if you have a bad water heater element?
A: If you aren’t getting hot water or it’s lukewarm, a water heater element is a common cause. You’ll want a professional water heater repair technician to check the element for resistance and replace it if needed.
Q: Can I repair or replace my water heater myself?
A: Improper repairs or replacements can be dangerous. It takes specialized knowledge and skills to do the job right, so it’s always best to hire a professional.
