Thinking about upgrading your water heater in Society Hill or Rittenhouse? Whether it’s a tank or tankless system, understanding the local requirements, energy efficiency options, and installation best practices can save you money—and avoid future headaches.
At Center City Plumbing Experts, we install both gas and electric water heaters throughout Old City, Bella Vista, and beyond. Here’s what we tell every homeowner before replacing their unit:
1. Know When It’s Time
If your water heater is over 10 years old, makes rumbling noises, or delivers inconsistent temperatures, replacement is likely a better investment than repair.
2. Consider Energy Efficiency
Tankless water heaters can reduce energy use by 24–34% in homes that use 41 gallons or less daily. You might also be eligible for rebates through the U.S. Department of Energy.
3. Check for City Permitting Requirements
Philadelphia typically requires permits for water heater replacements. We handle that paperwork so you don’t have to.
4. Location Matters
In many Center City rowhomes, space is tight. We specialize in compact installations in basements, closets, and under-stair spaces.
