This One Water Heater Problem May Require a Replacement

Monday, March 25th, 2024

It’s always our goal to keep people’s appliances running. As long as they’re safe and we can make sure they’re working well, we avoid recommending that anyone replace a costly appliance. On the other hand, nothing lasts forever. Our customers are our neighbors, and we don’t want them facing unnecessary hazards or wasting money on repairs that won’t have a lasting effect.

Water heaters are a great example of an appliance that people tend to ignore until there’s a problem—usually a cold shower, but sometimes a worse situation. But you shouldn’t ignore it! If you keep an eye on your water heater, you can avoid disaster by catching problems early.
