What’s the Danger of Keeping an Old, Damaged Water Heater?

Keeping an old, damaged water heater around might seem harmless, but it can cause more problems than you think. Here’s why it’s risky:

• Leaks and Water Damage: Aging water heaters can develop leaks that lead to costly damage to floors, walls, and belongings.
• Energy Inefficiency: Older units consume more energy, driving up your utility bills while delivering less hot water.
• Risk of Explosions: A failing pressure relief valve or rusted tank could lead to dangerous pressure buildup, putting your home at risk.
• Rusty or Contaminated Water: Damaged tanks can corrode, contaminating your water and affecting its quality.
• Increased Repair Costs: Ignoring the signs of wear can lead to more frequent and expensive fixes.

Don’t wait for trouble to strike—replace your old water heater before it becomes a costly or dangerous issue!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does water heater removal cost?

Removing a water heater typically costs between $150 and $300, but several factors can affect the final price. Size and type play a key role—larger or more complex units, such as tankless or commercial water heaters, may cost more to remove due to the added labor and transportation needs.

Location and accessibility are other considerations. If the water heater is in a hard-to-reach area, such as a basement, attic, or narrow utility closet, additional labor fees ranging from $50 to $100 may apply. Similarly, specialized equipment or extra workforce may be required if stairs or tight spaces are involved.

The price may increase slightly if disconnection services are needed, such as shutting off water or gas lines. Some companies include this service in the quote, while others charge an extra fee for plumbing or gas line work.

For eco-friendly disposal, there may be a small recycling fee, usually between $20 and $50, to handle and repurpose materials safely. If the heater is still working, we can coordinate donations, which may reduce removal costs.

To get an accurate estimate, it is best to request a customized quote based on your water heater’s size, location, and specific needs.

What happens to my old water heater?

After we remove your old water heater, we ensure it’s managed responsibly through donation, recycling, or proper disposal. Here’s what happens next:

• Eco-Friendly Recycling: We prioritize recycling if the water heater is no longer usable. Many components, including metal, copper, and glass, can be repurposed. Recycling conserves valuable resources and keeps waste out of landfills. Additionally, any chemicals or hazardous materials are processed by environmental standards to ensure safe disposal.
