Should You Replace That Old Water Heater By Summer?

As summer approaches, your home’s hot water system might not be on your mind, but it should be. Between extra showers, more laundry, outdoor cleanups, and hosting guests, hot water demand naturally increases during warmer months. If your water heater is over 10 years old, taking longer to heat up, or showing signs of rust or small leaks, now is the perfect time to consider a replacement. Waiting until it breaks could mean no hot water during a busy summer weekend, or worse, a leak that causes damage to your home. Replacing it ahead of time avoids the hassle and gives you peace of mind all season long, especially for families in busy Bergen County boroughs.

At Pratt Plumbing & Heating, we offer a completely free plumbing inspection for all Bergen County homeowners. We’ll take a close look at your water heater and overall plumbing system, and give you straightforward, honest advice. If it still has life left in it, we’ll tell you. If a replacement is needed, we’ll walk you through the options, pricing, and help you choose the right solution for your home and budget. Newer water heaters are not only more reliable, they’re also far more energy efficient, which can help reduce your monthly utility costs.
