Video: Changing Water Heater Regulations in Austin

Check out this urgent message from Brad, owner of Radiant Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning:

You can tell from Brad’s tone in the video that there isn’t much time to lose! It’s April 2nd, and the water heater regulations officially go into effect on April 15th. After that point, there won’t be any way to get a direct replacement of your home’s current water heater, and the upgrade to the higher efficiency model will be:

  • More Expensive– Both the product and the installation will cost more than a direct water heater replacement.
  • Potentially Damaging To Your Home– Your attic access isn’t big enough for the new water heater models, which means your plumber would need to cut a larger hole in order to fit the new water heater in. At Radiant Plumbing, we will of course offer
  • Less Convenient (May Require Down-Time Without Hot Water)

Don’t wait for your old water heater to break, causing you to require expensive and possibly destructive replacement. Simply call Radiant for a free water heater evaluation today! You can call our 24/7 live call assistance service to schedule a visit, during which a Radiant Plumbing expert will inspect your water heater and provide an estimate on a fast, efficient replacement.

Reasons to Call for a Direct Water Heater Replacement

In this message about water heaters for Austin homeowners, Brad mentioned your water heater being “on its last legs.” What exactly does that mean? How can you tell whether or not your water heater is about to fail?

First of all, if your device is older than 7 years, that means it’s past warranty and nearing the end of its life expectancy. You are going to need water heater replacement either way, so you should call Radiant Plumbing for a direct replacement rather than wait for the water heater failure to happen. However, if your water heater isn’t properly maintained or is damaged over time by the hard water here in Texas, you may even need a water heater replacement from the Austin experts before then. Look for the warning signs:

  • Loud Noises
  • Bad Odors
  • Visible Rust or Corrosion
  • Leaking
  • Poor Performance
  • Higher Energy Bills

Do any of the above signs apply to your own water heater? Don’t worry — Radiant Plumbing can help. Call for consultation on water heater replacement today, and we’ll install your current model so you don’t have to worry about the regulations. But call before April 15th! After that deadline, your current water heater becomes obsolete.
