Is It Time for a Water Heater Replacement?
Most traditional tank water heaters last between 8 and 12 years. If your unit is nearing the end of its lifespan, replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs. Common signs you may need a hot water heater replacement include inconsistent temperatures, rusty or discolored water, unusual noises from the tank, or visible leaks around the base.
At Pearson, we take a practical, no-pressure approach. Our plumbers carefully inspect your existing system and explain your options for repair or replacement. If replacement is the best choice, we’ll help you select a unit that fits your household’s hot water demand, energy efficiency goals, and budget.
We’re proud to provide Rockford and Freeport with reliable water heater replacement that’s done right the first time.
