Water Heater Replacement

Many people wonder how to determine if they should replace their water heater. Here are a few basic tips to avoid an emergency situation, as well as what to expect for replacement.

· Age of Existing Water Heater: The most important factor of water heater replacement is the age of your existing water heater. The average life span of a water heater is 8-12 years, but can also be reduced through heavy use or a lack of maintenance. Water heaters will leak after a certain age, and leaking water heaters can cause a major mess and a lot of inconvenience, so you might want to consider replacement if your water heater is approaching this age.

· Telltale Signs You May Need to Replace Your Water Heater: If your water heater is no longer producing the amount of hot water that it used to, or has a puddle underneath, it might be time to consider replacement. You want to avoid serious leaking, and it can also be very inconvenient to have less hot water in your home, especially during the winter months.

· What to Expect: Although there are a lot more options for water heaters than there used to be, it is still possible to just get a basic 40 or 50 gallon water heater for around $1,000. If you are hoping to upgrade, we can offer both solar hot water heaters and tankless water heaters as options for your home. Although they will be more expensive, both can be great investments in the right situation.
