Get a New Water Heater Before the Carrollton Winter Sets In

Posted byPaola Nadeau on Sep 2020 in Business | 0 comments

When it’s hot out in Carrollton, you might not be using your water heater as often or as seriously as you will during the winter. When it’s cold out, you want a hot shower, and your water heater has to work harder to heat up the cold water coming out of the ground. So it should come as no surprise that a lot of people find themselves with a broken hot water heater just a month or two into the fall or winter. How old is your water heater? And is it working as well as it used to?

Water Heater Repairs

Of course, if your hot water heater seems to be working just fine, it’s hard to think about replacing it altogether. Maybe it will last another winter just fine. Maybe it’ll last another two years. It’s hard to know what the life of a water heater will be, especially since most of us don’t think about our water heaters until they break.

One option is to call in an experienced plumber or water heater technician who can have a look at your water heater and even give it a bit of a once-over to make sure that it is functioning as well as possible. Perhaps you need a filter replaced or the tank could use a cleaning. These things may improve the performance of your water heater and may lengthen its life.

Emergency Services

While it may not make sense to replace a perfectly functioning water heater, at some point or another you will find yourself without hot water. This may simply be an inconvenience or it could cause serious problems in your life. Either way, it’ll be a top priority to get a skilled and experienced plumber in to replace your old water heater as soon as possible.

Time for an Upgrade?

Another way to think about your water heater is to consider the efficiency and effectiveness of the machine you’ve got. Do you always run out of hot water after your kids have showered, but before you make it to the bathroom for a shower? Is someone always complaining about the water getting cold before they were done showering? What happens to the person in the shower when you turn on the hot water in the kitchen?

If you’re having these kinds of problems, there may be an inexpensive and top quality solution. Upgrading your aging water heater with a newer, more efficient, more effective model may just pay for itself in a few years.
