Cut the Cost on Water Heater Replacement
In Florida’s complex insurance market, your water heater is more than just a convenience, it’s a major factor in your home’s insurability. Many Florida insurance carriers are now tightening their guidelines, often refusing to renew policies or denying new applications for homes with water heaters 15 years or older. Because these aged units are prone to catastrophic failure, insurers view them as a high risk for water damage. If your unit is approaching its 15th birthday, a proactive replacement isn’t just about avoiding a cold shower; it’s about protecting your home’s coverage.

When to Replace a Water Heater
Water heaters often don’t fail without warning signs. If you can spot the signs of a problem beforehand, you can often avoid being without hot water for an extended period. Call our team at Brown Heating, Cooling and Plumbing for help if:
- Your water never gets hot enough.
- You experience frequent malfunctions or breakdowns.
- Your water heater is 8 to 12 years old.
Our experts can evaluate your water heater and help you determine whether a water heater repair or replacement is the best choice for your needs.
How To Choose a New Water Heater
When you need a new water heater, there are several factors to consider when determining the perfect model for your home. These include:
- Fuel type: Gas water heaters tend to be less expensive to operate, but not all homes in Southwest Florida have gas service. In those cases, electric water heaters may be the better option and are more energy-efficient.
- Sizing: The size of the water heater’s tank will affect how much hot water it can supply before running out. Your water heater needs to match your family’s hot water needs, as a tank that’s too small is a nuisance, and a tank that’s too big will waste energy.
- Energy efficiency: The efficiency of your water heater will directly affect your utility costs, so be sure to compare energy-efficiency ratings carefully and select the most efficient model within your budget.
