We know that many customers don’t want to add another expense to their list in such difficult times, but water heaters are not designed to last forever. Given how much we depend on these systems for hot showers, comfortable baths, laundry, cleaning, and more, it only makes sense that they should be at the top of the list when something is wrong.
But how can you tell if your water heater is nearing the time of replacement? And what’s wrong with letting your water heater get old, as long as nothing is inherently wrong with it? We’ll discuss all the answers to these questions as we try to inform our customers about when your water heater needs replacement vs. just a quick repair.
And don’t worry if you’re on a budget. We offer full water heater setups starting at $26 per month when you meet certain qualifications. And for any other plumbing in Montgomery, PA, make sure you schedule it with us.
Your water heater is about as integral to your life as the food in your cupboard or the car in your garage. Without the water heater that functions so diligently in your basement, you’d risk taking cold showers, having trouble washing your dishes and laundry effectively, and your overall quality of life would deteriorate before your eyes. Without hot water, our lifestyles just don’t seem to work as well.
Why, yes, there is such a thing as a tankless water heater, in case you were asking yourself about that. Many homeowners mistakenly believe that tank water heaters are the only option for every home that’s out there—but that’s not the case. Tankless technology exists, which means that water can be heated the moment it is desired for an almost unlimited supply of hot water.
This is one of the most common problems people run into with their water heaters: turning on a faucet or tap and waiting, waiting, waiting for the water to warm up to the temperature you want. But the running water only gets lukewarm. What does this mean, and what can you do about it?
Do you know how healthy your water heater is? If not, that’s okay. People often have no idea whether their water heater is in perfect condition or about to fail until something happens. Still, it’s a good idea to evaluate your system every once in a while to determine whether or not it’s in need of replacement. If you think you might need a new water heater installed in your home, but you’re not sure, have a look at the symptoms below to help you decide.
