A leak at a fitting or valve can sometimes be fixed. On a 14-year-old tank, a new, more efficient unit usually makes more sense.
Water heater replacement covers removing the old heater, installing the new one to code with the right venting, valves and connections, and testing it. Your plumber checks whether you need an expansion tank or other updates and tells you up front.
New models are more efficient, and economical options are available, so the savings on running costs help offset the price. You get good, better and best options, in-home estimates on replacements are free, and financing is available. We install State, A.O. Smith and Navien.
