Yes. Old tank removal and disposal is included in the replacement quote — we haul it out and dispose of it properly.

What size water heater do I need?

For a 1–2 person household, a 30–40 gallon tank is typically sufficient. 3–4 people: 40–50 gallons. 5+ people: 50–75 gallons. We assess your household demand and recommend the right first-hour rating for your usage pattern.

How long do water heaters last?

Tank water heaters typically last 8–12 years. Signs it's time to replace: rust-colored water, rumbling from sediment buildup, visible tank corrosion, or repeated repair calls. A unit over 10 years old with a failure is usually better replaced than repaired.
