From traditional tank-style water heaters to the latest tankless systems, we can provide personalized guidance to help you select the best option for your hot water needs.

Additionally, gas- and electric-powered water heaters each have their pros and cons. Our team at Star City Heating & Cooling can recommend the right water heater replacement based on your preferences, property infrastructure, and budget.

Benefits of Water Heater Replacement

A leaking tank, strange rumbling noises that don’t go away, and an inability to produce enough hot water are all signs that your existing water heater may be failing. Most tank-based water heaters have a lifespan of about 10 to 15 years with regular maintenance, but once they hit this mark, the cost and frequency of repairs can quickly become a less cost-effective option than replacement. While it might seem like a major expense, choosing to replace an aging or failing water heater offers a variety of benefits that can save you money and provide peace of mind in the long run.

Advantages of replacing your water heater can include:

Improved energy efficiency. One of the biggest benefits is the substantial boost in energy efficiency. Modern water heaters, especially those with an ENERGY STAR® certification, are designed to heat water more effectively than models from a decade or two ago. They feature improved insulation to reduce standby heat loss and more efficient burners or heating elements, which can lead to noticeable savings on your monthly utility bills.
Increased reliability and safety. An aging water heater is more prone to unexpected breakdowns, leaving you without hot water when you need it most. A new unit provides a fresh start with all-new components and a full manufacturer warranty, offering a high level of reliability. Even better, modern water heaters tend to come with enhanced safety features.
Expanded capacity and performance. If your property’s hot water needs have grown over the years, your old water heater may no longer be able to keep up. Replacing it gives you the opportunity to install a unit that is properly sized for your current demand so that you have enough hot water for showers, laundry, and dishes simultaneously.
Reduced risk of water damage. As a water heater ages, the risk of a tank failure due to internal corrosion increases dramatically. Once a tank fails, it can flood your basement or utility closet with dozens of gallons of water, causing extensive and costly property damage. Replacing your unit proactively eliminates this major risk and can protect your home or business from a potential flood.
Access to new technology and features. Many new water heaters come with smart technology and other modern conveniences. You can find units with Wi-Fi connectivity that allow you to monitor energy usage and receive alerts about potential issues, giving you greater control and insight into your property's hot water system.
