How Old is Ol’ Reliable?

In this case ol’ reliable refers to that hard-working water heater in your garage or basement.  With the new year well underway, have you thought about your water heater recently?  This hard-working appliance that heats up your Peoria area home’s water has a shelf-life of about 10-15 years.  How old is your ol’ reliable?

It is a given that the worst possible time to find out your water heater has died is when you are in the shower.  Now that’s a jolt!  Water heaters are mostly taken for granted and pushed well beyond their intended life spans. If you are aware of when a water heater is long in the tooth it will prevent icy showers and also save you money!

That last part is worthy of note.  If you invest in a newer more efficient water heater NOW you may save yourself money in the future.  Have your water heater checked and, if necessary, replaced by Dave Bailey or one of his crew of Dave Bailey Plumbing serving Morton, East Peoria, Pekin, and the surrounding area.  Just call (309) 265-6788.
