Water heaters are responsible for providing all of the hot water you need to clean, cook, and bathe. While most water heaters are designed to last for a while—usually about 8 to 12 years—eventually they will need to be repaired or replaced altogether. When the time comes for new water heater installation, repairs on your existing unit, or complete water heater replacement, you can rely on A-Total Plumbing! Since 2001, we’ve been providing top-quality water heater services in Kennesaw, Alpharetta, and throughout Metro Atlanta. We can even help you with maintenance services to help you get the most out of your water heater!

While we typically recommend repairs over replacement whenever possible, sometimes it’s simply time to replace your existing water heater. Many customers ask if they should replace a water heater that's over 15 years old and our answer to that is yes! Over time, the hot water in your tank can corrode and rust the metal material, making the system partial to damage.

That tank full of scalding water in your old water heater can explode if a valve fails, causing damage to your home or danger to your family. A modern water heater from Noritz is much safer, more economical, and offers greater energy efficiency.

When is it time to replace your old water heater? You might want to consider a replacement if your water heater:

• Is more than 8-12 years old
• Has been breaking down more frequently
• No longer produces hot water
• Has damage that cannot be repaired
• Has rust or corrosion on or in the tank
• Can no longer drain water through the drain valve
• Has a leak, especially if the leak is coming from the tank
