Water heater swap

Water heater. Home appliance consisting of a gas or electric heating unit under a tank in which water is heated and stored.

If you detect a leak, plan to replace the water heater immediately. Don’t wait until the leak gets serious. Your water heater is dead when the tank leaks. The telltale sign that your water heater needs replacing is a slow drip underneath, which usually appears as a trace of rusty water.At best, replacement is a matter of a few hours of work disconnecting and removing the old heater, then putting the new one in its place and restoring the connections in exactly the same way.
