Is It Time To Replace Our Water Heater?

Is it time to replace our water heater? Murphy’s law says, “If something can go wrong, it will and usually at the worst time.” No one really knows who Murphy was. People first heard the saying in the 1940s, but where it originated, no one knows. Some say Murphy was a pessimist; I think he was a realist. If I could rewrite a little bit of history, I would say, “If something can go wrong, then do something about it before it does.” If we’re honest with ourselves, we don’t fix things unless they’re broken. Most Americans say, “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.” Have you ever thought, “Is there a good time for a water heater to break down?” The answer would be a resounding NO. One thing we don’t want is for our water heater to break down during the holidays. 

We Can Increase Our Water Heater Efficiency

Most of us drive our cars every day. We wash them, change the oil, tune them up and care for them. Then that day comes when we trade it in for the new car. It’s faster, better looking, has all the latest technology, and gets excellent gas mileage. Sometimes it’s the superb mileage that sells us. Interestingly, we use our water heaters every day, and they barely get our attention, if at all. They sit in the corner of our garage, providing hot water 24/7, 365 days a year. We can increase water quality and efficiency by flushing your tank once a year, but I have never met anyone who flushed their water heater.

Here are Some Of The Benefits

You won’t have to stress about running out of hot water for many years.

You can expect a modern hot water heater to last for at least ten to twelve years after installation. Make sure to inquire about your water heater warranty and compare models before making a purchase.

You’ll be able to take a shower until you’re finished.

Suppose you presently own a water heater that only enables you and your family to take quick showers to accommodate everyone showering. In that case, you will appreciate having a new hot water heater. It will provide the hot water you desire for as long as you need it. Use your plumbing professional to calculate the right water heater for your home and family size. Again, it will provide hot water for as long as you need it if you pick the proper model and size.

A larger tank provides enough water to meet the needs of a growing family.

Most families replace their water heater because it’s broken, while others replace their heater because it is outdated. The third most frequent reason is that their family has grown. Your home used to require hot water for two people, but you’ve had an increase in family size over the years.  Increasing the capacity of the hot water tank may assist in ensuring that everyone has access to sufficient hot water.

A new model will be much quieter.

An older hot water heater might be producing noise pollution in your house in two ways. To begin with, older models just produced more noise than their modern counterparts. Second, when a water heater ages, it becomes noisier. If you’ve noticed that your hot water heater is producing a lot of noise, you’ll be relieved to learn that a new one is far quieter.

You Can Save Money With Newer Hot Water Heaters.

The newer your water heater model is, the less it is to operate, the more energy-efficient it is. A new water heater is a win for the environment and a win for the pocketbook. 

It’s Time To Replace Our Water Heater

Like automakers, water heater manufacturers have significantly improved technology on our water heaters. Most water heater manufacturers have improved efficiency from 20% to 40% over the past eight to ten years. However, the average cost to repair a water heater is $483. According to ImproveNet, most homeowners spend between $244 to $576 nationally to fix a broken water heater. Lowes says that a new water heater lasts 8 to 12 years. But they have also said that the number would vary based on maintenance, quality, design, and location.

Easy Financing – 12 Months Same As Cash

Water heater costs vary based on type and quality, brand, and size. Unfortunately, not every homeowner has that kind of cash set aside in their budget to dish out for a new water heater, so they would rather fix the old one regardless of the age. When is it time to replace our water heater? At Big B’s Plumbing, we make getting a new water heater easy, with our 12 months interest-free financing, you can get the water heater you need in 12 easy payments.

What People Are Saying...

I called Big B's Plumbing because I the hot water would not turn off in our master bathroom. I tried to turn the valve off under the sink and it broke off, so I had to shut off the main water to the house. It was noticeable the valves were original to the home. When I called, the rep stated that I would be informed about the service tech and their experience along with services offered "On The Spot". I was on a bit of a time crunch...

Found them on Google and they had good quality reviews. Made the call and set up the appointment for same day. Dispatch called me a few hours later to confirm our appointment and let me know that the technician Mathew was on the way. This was supposed to be an easy job once Mathew arrived. But it turned out to be so much more than that. Without hesitation or a sour look on his face, he dove deep into his van...
