Newer homes, still on the first heater

About 21% of Hanover homes were built in 2000 or later, and the median home dates from 1978, the newest of the South Shore towns we cover. In many of the 2000s and 2010s homes, the original water heater is now past or near 10 years old.

Signs it's near the end: rusty hot water, a damp ring around the base, or popping noises. A failed part on a younger tank is usually worth repairing.

Water

Treated for iron and manganese

The Town of Hanover says its Pond Street treatment plant is a conventional plant designed to remove iron, manganese, organic color and turbidity from the raw water. If you see dark or rusty sediment in your hot water, a flush is the first step.

Fuel

Gas and oil

About 50% of Hanover homes heat with gas and 36% with oil. The state's gas provider map lists Eversource for Hanover. NOAA's nearby Hingham station averages about 115 freezing nights a year.
