Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Water Heater

Your home’s water heater plays a crucial role in your daily comfort. If you’re experiencing issues like inconsistent water temperatures, slow recovery time, or visible rust in your hot water, it may be time for a new installation. We help homeowners identify when their tank water heater is no longer doing the job.

Common reasons to replace your traditional water heater include:

  • Your current unit is 10 years or older
  • You notice rising energy bills from inefficient operation
  • You run out of hot water too quickly
  • The tank shows signs of corrosion or leaking
  • Repairs are becoming more frequent and costly

We install both electric tank water heaters and gas tank water heaters to meet your needs and budget.

What Are the Key Benefits of Tankless Water Heater Installation?

Switching to a tankless water heater offers several advantages for homeowners:

  • Energy efficiency: heats water on demand without wasted standby energy.
  • Endless hot water supply: provides continuous hot water as long as needed.
  • Compact, space-saving design: wall-mounted units free up valuable floor space.
  • Longer lifespan: durable systems can last 20 years or more with proper care.
  • Reduced risk of leaks: no large storage tank means fewer chances of tank failure.

Expert Water Heater Repair and Maintenance Services

Not every problem calls for a full replacement. Sometimes, timely water heater maintenance or repair can extend the life of your system and restore your hot water supply quickly. At Barrs Plumbing Inc., we diagnose issues with precision and offer honest recommendations to get your hot water tanks working properly again.

Our skilled plumbers handle everything from thermostat issues and heating element failures to sediment buildup and pilot light problems. Routine maintenance services help prevent unexpected breakdowns and keep your tank water heater running efficiently. We service all brands and types of traditional water heaters, ensuring you always have dependable access to hot water.

Why You Should Never DIY Water Heater Repairs

Water heater repair or installation isn’t a DIY project. From gas connections to electrical components and high-pressure systems, there are serious safety risks involved. At Barrs Plumbing Inc., our licensed and insured plumbers are fully trained to handle everything from basic tune-ups to full water heater replacements—safely and efficiently.

Improper installation of gas tank water heaters or electric tank water heaters can lead to dangerous gas leaks, electrical hazards, or even water damage. Let our professional, clean-cut team take care of the job the right way. We’re proud to serve Lake City, FL homeowners with honest advice, high-quality craftsmanship, and a commitment to your peace of mind.
