Hot water heaters put up with a lot of abuse throughout their years of operation. Hot water heaters last for years, they’re designed to have a long service life, actually. If you think about how many times a day, every day, you make use of hot water in your home, you’ll realize that your water heater works incredibly hard 24/7 and most homeowners do not think about it until it’s time for a hot water heater replacement.

Even if you take perfect care of your water heater needs, though, with consistent regular maintenance and prompt repairs, you know that eventually you will have to replace your current water heater with a new unit, whether that’s with an electric water heater, gas water heater, or even a tankless water heater. When it comes time to replace your old water heater, hiring a professional plumber to perform the water heater installation is always recommended, and some offer a warranty on their water heater installation. 

The following are a few signs that you should look for in your water heater, indicating that maybe it’s time to have a professional replace it for you.

Don’t you hate that feeling where, just as though it seems you have everything running smoothly, something else breaks down? Or bursts into flames? Or blows up? It’s a common feeling for a lot of homeowners, and we want to do our part to reduce that feeling for you as much as possible.

Of all the things you could have broken down on you during the winter season, your heat pump is probably at the top of the list of the most inconvenient ones. The best way to make sure that that doesn’t happen is to schedule maintenance for it, even if it has already received maintenance this year.

Maintaining your heat pump system (as well as cooling systems, indoor units and outdoor units) by having a professional heat pump service can be a cost-effective way to keep your system running smoothly and keep energy consumption as low as possible, and checking off the items of your heat pump maintenance checklist can see you through the winter months.
