Tulsa's Choice For Reliable Water Heater Replacement
Water heater replacement becomes necessary when your existing water heater is no longer functioning efficiently, has reached the end of its lifespan, or a technician has determined a new one must be installed. Parker Plumbing is Tulsa's most reliable water heater replacement company, and we are proud to provide this valuable service.
A new water heater is more reliable, with fewer chances of breakdowns and malfunctions. Replacing an old, worn-out water heater with a new one provides peace of mind, knowing you won't have to deal with frequent repairs, Parker Plumbing hires only properly trained technicians for Tulsa homeowners and commercial property owners.
Replacing Old Or Damaged Water Heaters
If your water heater is over 10-15 years old, it's nearing the end of its lifespan. At this point, replacement is often a more cost-effective solution than continued repairs. But the only way to really know this is by bringing in the top-rated plumber for Tulsa -- Parker Plumbing.
And if your water heater no longer heats water as efficiently as it used to, resulting in lukewarm or inconsistent water temperatures, it may be time for a replacement. Water heater repairs might be in order if, for instance, the pilot light ignition unit stops working, or the pressure valve stops working.
But in the event you think a full water heater replacement is necessary, Parker Plumbing will complete a thorough inspection, and give you a fair estimate. If you give us the go-ahead, we'll tailor a plan specific to your needs, your timeline, and your budget.
Signs You Should Consider Water Heater Replacement
If you schedule annual water heater maintenance with Parker Plumbing, you're extending the life of your water heater. But sometimes considerations must be made for replacement, and factors to consider are the following:
- Age
- Rust-colored water
- Frequent repairs
- Safety
An older water heater you spend money on to keep running could end up draining you financially, not to mention the potential safety risks like a gas leak. Keep your eyes and ears open and be mindful of the scent of natural gas. If you see a leak, even a small one, or hear gurgling or rumbling, and of course, if you smell gas, don't delay.
