Water heater replacement
A good replacement conversation starts with the heater you already have.
Call to discuss your plumbing issue and availability.
What this covers
Replacement usually comes up after a heater stops working, starts leaking from the tank, or no longer keeps up with the household. It also comes up when someone simply wants to plan ahead rather than wait for a failure.
The details of your current setup shape what is practical: fuel type, size, where the unit sits and how easy it is to reach. Gathering those before you call makes the discussion more productive.

Not necessarily, but switching type can involve changes to venting, fuel or electrical supply and space. Mention any interest in switching when you call.
