Time to replace?

Signs your water heater needs replacing

Some problems can be repaired. These usually mean the heater is at the end of its life:

  • Water leaking from the tank itself, not a fitting
  • Rust on the tank or rusty hot water
  • The heater is past the typical 8 to 12 year life of a tank
  • Repairs keep adding up
  • It can't keep up with your household anymore
  • Gas bills creeping up with no change in use

Questions

Water Heater Replacement FAQ

How do I know my water heater needs to be replaced?

A leaking tank, rust, repeated repairs or a heater past the typical 8 to 12 year life of a tank usually mean it's time. Blackwell Plumbing will inspect it and tell you honestly whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.

Can I switch to a tankless water heater when I replace mine?

Yes. Blackwell Plumbing installs both tank and tankless water heaters, and can upgrade you to tankless during a replacement. We'll explain any gas or venting changes and the price upfront.

My water heater is leaking right now. What should I do?

Turn off the cold-water supply valve on top of the heater and the gas or power to it, then call Blackwell Plumbing at (562) 416-5779. We offer 24/7 emergency service across Orange County and LA.

Is financing available for a replacement?

Blackwell Plumbing offers financing options for qualifying customers, and you'll always see the full price before any work begins.
