Let’s face it, Chicago winters are brutal. The last thing you need is your hot water tank giving up when it’s freezing outside. But how do you know when it’s time to say “goodbye” to your old water heater and get a new one? All Rooter Plumbing is here to help you figure it out, so you can keep those hot showers coming and those energy bills down.
Picture this: you come home after a long day, ready for a relaxing hot shower, but the water is barely warm. Frustrating, right? That’s one sign your water heater might be nearing the end of its life.
Keep an eye out for other warning signs too. Are you hearing strange noises from your tank? Is the water rusty? How old is your tank? If it’s older than ten years, it might be time to start thinking about a replacement. Don’t wait until you’re stuck with a cold shower in the middle of winter – be proactive and avoid a plumbing emergency!
Chicago’s harsh winters and older homes can be tough on your water heater. Leaks, inconsistent water temperature, and reduced efficiency due to sediment buildup are common issues we see in the Windy City.
Think of your water heater like a car – it needs regular maintenance to run smoothly. But even with the best care, parts wear out over time. If you’re constantly having problems, it might be smarter to replace your unit rather than always fixing it.
Nobody wants to deal with a flooded basement or a freezing cold shower. Replacing your water heater before it completely breaks down can save you from a major hassle (and potentially expensive repairs).
Think of it as an investment in your comfort. Plus, newer models are often more energy-efficient, which means you’ll save money on your utility bills over time. Who wouldn’t want that?

We take the time to understand your needs and recommend the best solution for your home and lifestyle. We’ll think about factors like your family size, how much hot water you use, and your budget to help you make a good decision.
