We install the new water heater with all required connections — supply and hot lines, gas or electrical, T&P relief valve and discharge tube, expansion tank where required, and proper venting or condensate drain.

What Norfolk homeowners want to know about water heater replacement — answered by our licensed plumbers.
Replace your water heater in Norfolk when it is over 10 to 12 years old, produces rusty or discolored water indicating internal corrosion, leaks from the tank body, requires frequent repairs, or no longer meets your household hot water demand. A water heater approaching these conditions often fails unexpectedly — replacement before failure avoids an emergency.
Extend the life of your new water heater in Norfolk by flushing the tank annually to remove sediment, replacing the anode rod every 3 to 5 years, setting the thermostat to 120°F to reduce mineral buildup and tank stress, and inspecting the T&P valve annually.
