Water Heater Installation

Installing New Hot Water Heaters

With proper maintenance, conventional storage tank water heaters can often last over 15 years, while tankless models can last 25 years or longer. As your water heater approaches the end of its life, it will gradually become less reliable and efficient, and if it develops problems, it is often better to replace it.

At The Witmer Company, we offer complete water heater installation and replacement services throughout the New Holland and Lancaster, PA areas. Our professional plumbers can help you select the best system for your needs and budget. Since 1941, we have been providing quality heating, air conditioning, and plumbing services. With our extensive experience and industry-leading training, you can be sure that the job is done correctly the first time.

Signs That You Need a New Water Heater

Often, a water heater that is nearing the end of its service life will start to perform poorly and will develop major problems, such as combustion leaks or significant corrosion. You should consider a new water heater if any of the following apply:

• Your water heater is nearing its expected service life. If a tankless model is over 20 years old, or a storage-tank model is over 15, it may be time to consider a new water heater. Replacing your system with a newer model can reduce your energy costs while providing better heating performance.
• It has corrosion problems. If the tank of your water heater has severe corrosion, or the heat exchanger does on tankless models, it will likely start leaking.
• It has significant mineral accumulations. If minerals like calcium and magnesium are clogging the tank, heat exchanger, or the plumbing of your water heater, it may be time to consider a new model.
• It has major problems. For older water heaters, if major components like the burners or heat exchanger on a gas model develop significant problems, or if the heating elements fail on electric models, it may be more cost-effective to install a new water heater.
• It is inefficient. Today’s water heaters are much more efficient than those made 10 or more years ago, and upgrading can reduce your energy costs significantly.
• It does not provide enough hot water for your needs. If your water heater cannot provide the volume of water you need at a comfortable temperature, it is best to upgrade.

Our plumbing experts at The Witmer Company can inspect your water heater and offer advice about your repair and replacement options.
