Why you should get a plumber to replace your hot water tank

Hot water tanks normally last for years and you don’t have to replace them often. But if yours is leaking or you need a bigger one, then it’s time to consider your options. This can be a simple replacement job, but since the tank is connected to your boiler and water supply, we strongly recommend getting a plumber out to help you.

The first step is to choose your replacement tank. You’ll need to think about your storage space, boiler and the hot water demands of your family. A qualified plumber will quickly help you to answer these questions and recommend the best tank for your household. They’ll disconnect your water supply and remove the old tank safely. They’ll then install the new tank and modify the pipework if it’s necessary. When everything is ready, they’ll fire up your boiler, check for leaks and make any necessary final adjustments.
