LAST WEEK’S WORK. WELL-EARNED RETIREMENTS.
Water Heater Retirement Party
Some of the water heaters we retired last week had served for more than 25 years. That deserves a proper send-off.
Last week, a few hardworking water heaters clocked out for the last time. Some had been on the job for more than 25 years. We thought they deserved a little recognition.
Think about all the showers, loads of laundry, and kitchen cleanup that fit into a run like that. These tanks spent years doing a job most of us only notice when the hot water is missing.

A look at the retirees—and the new arrivals
Our retirement-party collage shows some of the water heaters the Advantage Plumbing team replaced last week, with the old and new units side by side.
There are garage installations and utility closets, familiar old tanks and fresh replacements. Each pair shows an old tank alongside its replacement. The settings vary, but the goal is the same: a water heater that fits the home and the people using it.
More than 25 years is quite a shift
Some of these heaters put in more than a quarter century of service. That’s a lot of mornings getting a household ready for the day.
We appreciate a long-serving water heater. We also appreciate the homeowners who trusted our team when it was time for the next one. Getting invited into someone’s home to handle an everyday necessity is a responsibility we take seriously.
Wondering about your own water heater?
If your hot water has become unreliable, or you’re wondering about the condition of an older heater, we can take a look and explain the options. We’ll talk through whether a repair makes sense or whether it’s time to consider a replacement.
You can also read our tank and tankless water heater guide for a closer look at choosing hot water that fits your household.
To last week’s retirees: thanks for the years of hot water. Enjoy having absolutely nothing left on your schedule.
