Water Heater Replacement

A water heater rarely gives much notice before it fails — and a failed tank can mean water on the floor. Replacing an aging unit on your schedule avoids the emergency and lets you choose the right replacement instead of whatever's available that day.

Signs It's Time to Replace Your Water Heater

  • The unit is around 10 years old or older
  • Water is leaking from the tank
  • Rust in the hot water or on the tank
  • Repairs are becoming frequent
  • It no longer keeps up with your household

Our Water Heater Replacement Process

  1. Confirm the condition of the existing unit
  2. Review like-for-like replacement or an upgrade
  3. Drain and remove the old water heater
  4. Install the new unit to current code
  5. Test, check for leaks and haul away the old unit

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do water heaters last?

Tank water heaters commonly last about 8 to 12 years. Tankless units can last longer with regular maintenance.

Can I switch from a tank to tankless?

Often, yes. It may require a larger gas line, new venting or electrical upgrades, which we'll assess before recommending it.
