As the weather warms up, many Philly homeowners are thinking about home upgrades—but the water heater isn’t always top of mind. If you’re living in an older property in Old City, Society Hill, or Bella Vista, your system could be nearing the end of its lifespan without showing obvious signs—until it’s too late.
At Center City Plumbing Experts, we’ve seen what happens when aging water heaters fail. Leaks, rust-colored water, or water that runs cold too quickly are common issues in homes with 10+ year-old units. In Rittenhouse this month, we replaced a 15-year-old tank-style heater that had been slowly leaking for weeks—causing hidden damage to the floor beneath.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, standard water heaters last 8–12 years. And switching to a modern, energy-efficient unit can reduce your utility bill by 10–20%.
We also help with faucet installs, fixture upgrades, and full plumbing system checks before the summer rush. As always, our plumbing estimates are free, and we offer flexible scheduling across all Center City neighborhoods.
