When to Replace Your Water Heater?

In some instances, it can be beneficial to replace your water heater instead of paying for one repair service after the next. This is usually true for units ten years or older and those with repeated issues.

It is also the case when:

• Your water heater’s efficiency has plummeted. A new model can help you recover the money lost to extra utility expenses. We could also help you use a highly efficient tankless water heating system.
• Your household size has increased. Has your family grown since you first installed your water heater? You could do well to upgrade your unit to accommodate your evolving hot water needs.
• The cost of repairs outweighs the price of a new water heater. Rid yourself of pesky repair costs and invest in a new water heater.
