Water Heater Replacement in Philadelphia

Is it time to replace the water heater in your home? Many signs suggest its time, yet so many people ignore them and hope for the best. Do not make this same mistake and find yourself in over your head in leaks and other mishaps! Pay attention to the signs below. Make the call to the top plumber in the area if you notice the signs. Fast action reduces worry and mishaps!

Sign 1: Age of the Water Heater

Generally, water heaters average a lifespan of about 12 years with proper care. There is no guarantee that your unit will last this long, however, so do not ignore other signs that suggest it’s replacement time simply due to the age of the unit. However, if the water heater is nearing the 12-year-mark or is older, replacing the unit now can prevent many problems in the near future.

Sign 2: Frequent Repairs

Calling our top plumber in the area for water heater repair more often than you’d like to admit? Replace the unit instead. Why not spend your money on a new unit that won’t breakdown and cause such angst and expense so often. Whether your water heater stops heating, doesn’t produce enough water, or there is a leak or other mishap, consider if it’s time to replace instead.

Sign 3: You Want an Upgrade

Perhaps the water heater currently installed in your home is old and outdated or simply lacks the features and functionality that you want. In such an instance, replace the unit with a more modern, up-to-date unit. Tankless water heaters offer on-demand hot water. They’re smaller in size than a traditional water heater and cost less to operate. Many people upgrade to the tankless style, but it’s one of many available options.

Sign 4: Rusty Water

If rust comes out of the faucet when you turn on the water, it is likely related to a rusted, corroded hot water heater. Once you see rust, it’s only a matter of time before the water heater springs a leak. Add magnesium, zinc, or aluminum to the water heater to prevent rusting and corrosion. However, our top plumber in the area is nearby in the event you sustain rusty water or a leak.
