Most homeowners don’t think about their water heater until it fails — but late winter is actually one of the most common times for breakdowns.

Cold groundwater forces aging units to work harder, which can lead to longer heat times, inconsistent temperatures, and unexpected shutdowns.

If your water heater is more than 8 to 12 years old, March is often the ideal time to replace it before demand spikes and emergency situations arise.

Local company Justin Dorsey Plumbing, serving Central Indiana since 1986, offers 24/7 service with no after-hours fees.

Now through March 31, homeowners can save:

  • $250 off a conventional water heater
  • $500 off a tankless water heater installation

Psst... Take a look at replacement options.
