Answers to frequently asked water heater replacement questions from Somerset homeowners.
Replace your water heater in Somerset when it is over 10 to 12 years old, produces rusty or discolored water indicating internal corrosion, leaks from the tank body, requires frequent repairs, or no longer meets your household hot water demand. A water heater approaching these conditions often fails unexpectedly — replacement before failure avoids an emergency.
Extend the life of your new water heater in Somerset by flushing the tank annually to remove sediment, replacing the anode rod every 3 to 5 years, setting the thermostat to 120°F to reduce mineral buildup and tank stress, and inspecting the T&P valve annually.

Tank water heaters cost less upfront and are simpler to install. Tankless units provide endless hot water on demand and typically have lower operating costs, but cost more initially.

"Gas line extended for a new outdoor grill connection. Permitted, inspected, done correctly. They explained the pressure testing process and made sure everything was up to code before leaving."
"Had an under-slab water line burst. They came out that day, capped off the bad line and restored water to the rest of the house, then rerouted the water line through the attic with minimal drywall damage. Very clean, respectful, knowledgeable, and professional. Only plumber I will ever call."
"This company is amazing! Called them around 4pm and the next day they were at my house at 8:30am like they said. Helped detect my problem and fix the issue quickly without spending a fortune. They will be my go to plumber from now on."
