10–15 Years

Typical water heater lifespan

Know when it is time to replace your water heater

A water heater works in the background until it starts causing problems. Leaks, rust, poor performance, and rising repair needs are often signs that the unit is nearing the end of its service life. If your water heater is no longer reliable, we can help you plan the right replacement.

Running out of hot water

If showers run cold too quickly or the water heater can’t keep up with daily use, the unit may be reaching the point where replacement makes more sense than another repair.

Leaks, rust, or visible wear

Water around the base of the unit, rust on the tank, or signs of corrosion often point to a water heater that is no longer a good candidate for long-term repair.

An older unit with rising repair needs

If the same water heater keeps needing service, the better long-term move may be to replace it with a more reliable unit sized for your home.

  Clear communication, speedy service, and thorough follow through, Salisbury goes above and beyond to help clients out. Our water heater fried at townhome we rent and these guys were there ASAP and were even willing to wait for me to call management after their approvals process screeched to a halt. Our repair technician was very knowledgeable and friendly and a great sport when he got splattered with hard water sludge. Highly recommend!

  The best in the west! We loved Seattle and Jose on our basement remodel! Since we prefer to speak Spanish, it was nice to be able to communicate in English and Spanish.

  We recently moved into our new home to find out that our water heater wasn't operational. Our first efforts to have our water heater serviced was with another company that lead to an overpriced quote and an open gas line that eventually leaked gas throughout our entire house. Once we recognized the emergency we decided to go with any other option we could find, and when we called Salisbury Plumbing they were able to get a technician over to our house in minutes. They remedied the problem, gave us a fair-market quote, and installed a new water heater the very next Monday. Seattle was excellent to work with, and he even helped us install a new kitchen sink faucet that we had been planning to put in ourselves the next day. Overall we were very satisficed by their responsiveness and good quality work.

  Salisbury was referred to us through our contractor on a complete basement remodel. Seattle was the main guy who came to our place each day and did the bulk of the work. He was awesome! He really knows his stuff, and he was pleasant and polite, always. We had them put in a new water heater (tankless), new water softener, new kitchen plumbing (sink, dishwasher, disposal), 2 bathrooms (sinks and toilets in both, tub and 2-head shower in the other). It's been nearly a year since they completed the work, and we have had no issues or leaks. When I need plumbing things done going forward, I will definitely use Salisbury - especially if they send Seattle.

  Needed some plumbing work done, called Salisbury to do the work.  Seattle, the plumber showed up and did an awesome job.  Ended up going with a tankless water heater, so we had to move some lines round to make it fit.  They were priced competitively, he was on time and kept me informed of the process.  Did a great job, would use them again.

  I had a major leak in the pipe that goes from kitchen and bathroom sinks into the basement.  The leak was in a very difficult place to reach.  Salisbury Plumbing came quickly and the young man (Seattle Delgado) worked very hard every minute he was here.  I was pleased with the company work ethic and with their competency.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I need water heater replacement?

Common signs include leaks around the unit, rust, inconsistent or low-temperature hot water, unusual noise, rising repair needs, or a water heater that is nearing the end of its expected service life. We inspect the system and recommend the right next step.

How long does a water heater usually last?

That depends on the type of unit, water quality, maintenance history, and how hard the system has been working. Many homeowners start looking more closely at replacement as the unit ages and performance declines.

Can you replace both gas and electric water heaters?

Yes. We install residential gas and electric water heaters and help you choose the right model for your home, utility setup, and hot water needs.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

That depends on the unit’s age, condition, and the type of problem. If the water heater is older, leaking, or in need of repeated repairs, replacement is often the better long-term option.

Do you offer tankless replacement options?

Yes. We install tankless water heaters for homeowners who want a compact, energy-efficient replacement and need help choosing the right setup for the home.
