Charlestown Plumbing Spotlight: Water Heater Replacement

Reasons to Replace Your Water Heater

There are a number of reasons to replace your water heater.  The first, and most common, reason Charlestown homeowners replace their water heaters is when the existing water heater stops working.  You  need hot water every day, from the shower you take in the morning  to washing up after dinner.  Water heater repair may be possible if the problem is confined to the controls or water heater unit, but if the damage is significant or the tank itself is compromised, water heater replacement is the only option.

Water heaters have an expected useful life of 10-15 years.  How old is your home’s water heater?  Water heaters that are more than a decade old are prime candidates for upgrading.  Even if the water heater hasn’t failed completely, it has a limited lifespan.

Upgrade Your Water Heater to Save Money

Choosing the right water heater for your family can save you money on your monthly utility bills.  Every family is different. Talk with your Charlestown plumber about selecting the best water heater for your home.  Factors to take into consideration include family size and the amount of hot water you use, as well as the times of day you need the most hot water.

Newer water heaters, especially tankless water heaters, are far more energy efficient than older hot water heaters.  Replacing your existing water heater with a newer, energy efficient model may make your family eligible for valuable tax credits or incentive payments from your utility company.  Additionally, you’re doing your part to reduce your family’s carbon footprint and doing your part to save the planet!
