Signs It's Time to Upgrade Your Water Heater
An aging water heater doesn't just work less efficiently; it poses a significant risk to your home. If you notice any of these signs, it's time to consider a replacement before you're forced into an emergency decision.
Age: If your tank water heater is over 10-12 years old, it's living on borrowed time.
Inconsistent Hot Water: Do you run out of hot water quickly or experience temperature fluctuations?
Rising Energy Bills: An older, less efficient unit has to work much harder, consuming more gas or electricity.
Rust or Discolored Water: Rusty water is a clear sign that the inside of your tank is corroding.
Strange Noises: Popping or rumbling sounds indicate a heavy sediment buildup, which drastically reduces efficiency and stresses the tank.
Visible Leaks or Moisture: Any leak, no matter how small, is a sign of imminent failure.

Your Upgrade Options: Modern Efficiency for Every Home
Upgrading doesn't just mean getting a like-for-like replacement. Modern technology offers significant improvements in performance and efficiency.
Option 1: High-Efficiency Traditional Tank Water Heater
This is an excellent, cost-effective upgrade that provides substantial benefits over an older model. Modern tank heaters are far more efficient than units from a decade ago.
At Principle Plumbing, we help you select the right size and efficiency level for your home, ensuring optimal performance and energy savings.
Benefits of a High-Efficiency Tank Water Heater:
- Improved Energy Efficiency: Better insulation and burner design mean less heat loss and lower monthly bills.
- Higher Recovery Rate: Heats a new tank of water faster than older models.
- Lower Upfront Cost: The most affordable upgrade path for immediate budget needs.
- Proven Reliability: A dependable and familiar technology for any home.
Trust Principle Plumbing for professional water heater installation that's done right the first time.
Option 2: The Ultimate Upgrade - Tankless On-Demand System
For homeowners seeking maximum efficiency, endless hot water, and a long-term solution, a tankless water heater is the premier choice. These systems heat water instantly as you need it, rather than storing it in a tank.
Our certified technicians have the expertise and experience to install all major brands, keeping your system running efficiently for years to come.
BENEFITS OF A TANKLESS WATER HEATER:
- Endless Hot Water: Never run out, even with simultaneous uses like showers and laundry.
- Maximum Energy Savings: Can reduce water heating costs by up to 40% by eliminating standby heat loss.
- Space-Saving Design: Frees up valuable floor space by mounting on a wall.
- Double the Lifespan: Lasts 20+ years, nearly twice as long as a traditional tank.
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION:
A tankless water heater's performance and lifespan depend entirely on the quality of its installation. We handle all plumbing, gas, and venting connections, often including upgrading gas lines for tankless units or installing new temperature and pressure relief valves for tanks.
With Principle Plumbing, you're choosing experienced professionals who specialize in modern water heating systems. We'll help you choose the right path for your family's needs and budget.

The Principle Plumbing Installation Process
Done Right, Guaranteed. A new water heater's performance and lifespan depend entirely on the quality of its installation.
We Help You Choose the Right Water Heating Solution
We don't just sell you a box; we help you choose the right long-term hot water solution for your home and budget. Our consultation process starts by understanding your needs. We assess your home's size, number of bathrooms, and family usage to recommend the perfectly sized unit—whether it's a 50-gallon high-recovery tank or a 9 GPM tankless system.
Safe, Efficient Installation Done Right
Our licensed plumbers follow a meticulous process to ensure your new system is safe, efficient, and compliant with all Addison building codes. We safely disconnect and drain your old water heater, handle all plumbing, gas, and venting connections, and test the system thoroughly to ensure it's operating at peak performance.
Protect Your Investment With Expert Care
Proper maintenance is key to maximizing the lifespan and efficiency of your new water heater, especially with Addison's hard water. We recommend annual service to flush sediment from tank heaters and inspect the anode rod. For tankless heaters, annual descaling is essential to remove mineral buildup and keep it running efficiently for 20+ years.
