When to Replace Your Gas Water Heater
A gas water heater that’s leaking from the bottom of the tank, producing rusty water, struggling to maintain temperature, or making loud popping and rumbling noises is at or near the end of its useful life.
Most gas tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years. Units that have been poorly maintained or are located in areas with hard water may fail sooner.
A pilot light that won’t stay lit can indicate a thermocouple failure, which is repairable. But if the gas control valve is failing or the tank is corroded, replacement is the better path.
What We Do
We remove and dispose of the old unit, then install the new gas water heater with properly sized water connections, a code-compliant gas hookup, and correct vent pipe routing. We verify adequate combustion air, test for gas leaks at every joint, and confirm proper draft through the exhaust vent.
We also adjust the thermostat to the recommended setting and walk you through the basic operation of your new unit, including the pilot light and the T&P relief valve.
