Signs It's Time to Upgrade Your Water Heater
An aging water heater doesn't just work less efficiently; it poses a significant risk to your home. If you notice any of these signs, it's time to consider a replacement before you're forced into an emergency decision.
How old is too old for a water heater? If your tank water heater is over 10-12 years old, it's living on borrowed time. At Principle Plumbing, we help we bring years of experience homeowners assess the true age and condition of their water heater to prevent emergency failures. We'll inspect the manufacturer date and explain whether a proactive upgrade makes sense for your home.
Why am I running out of hot water so fast? Do you run out of hot water quickly or experience temperature fluctuations during your shower? This is a clear sign your water heater can't keep up with your family's needs. Principle Plumbing offers expert consultations to properly size a new, high-efficiency system that provides consistent hot water for your entire household.
Why are my energy bills so high? An older, less efficient water heater has to work much harder, consuming more gas or electricity every month. Upgrading to a modern high-efficiency tank or tankless system can reduce your water heating costs by up to 40%. Our team at Principle Plumbing helps you understand your potential savings and choose the right energy-efficient solution.
What does rusty water from my faucet mean? Rusty or discolored water is a clear sign that the inside of your tank is corroding and will fail soon. Principle Plumbing provides same-day emergency service throughout we bring years of experience to safely replace failing water heaters before they cause water damage to your home.
Why is my water heater making popping noises? Popping or rumbling sounds indicate heavy sediment buildup from hard water, which drastically reduces efficiency and stresses the tank. Our licensed technicians at Principle Plumbing can perform a professional tank flush to extend your water heater's life, or recommend a timely replacement if the damage is too severe.
What should I do if my water heater is leaking? Any leak, no matter how small, is a sign of imminent failure. Principle Plumbing offers emergency plumbing service in we bring years of experience. We'll safely shut down your leaking water heater, assess the damage, and provide same-day replacement options to restore your hot water quickly.

Your Upgrade Options: Modern Efficiency for Every Home
Upgrading doesn't just mean getting a like-for-like replacement. Modern technology offers significant improvements in performance and efficiency.
Option 1: High-Efficiency Traditional Tank Water Heater
This is an excellent, cost-effective upgrade that provides substantial benefits over an older model. Modern tank heaters are far more efficient than units from a decade ago.
At Principle Plumbing, we help you select the right size and efficiency level for your home, ensuring optimal performance and energy savings.
Benefits of a High-Efficiency Tank Water Heater:
- Improved Energy Efficiency: Better insulation and burner design mean less heat loss and lower monthly bills.
- Higher Recovery Rate: Heats a new tank of water faster than older models.
- Lower Upfront Cost: The most affordable upgrade path for immediate budget needs.
- Proven Reliability: A dependable and familiar technology for any home.
Trust Principle Plumbing for professional water heater installation that's done right the first time.
Option 2: The Ultimate Upgrade - Tankless On-Demand System
For homeowners seeking maximum efficiency, endless hot water, and a long-term solution, a tankless water heater is the premier choice. These systems heat water instantly as you need it, rather than storing it in a tank.
Our licensed, insured & bonded have the expertise and experience to install all major brands, keeping your system running efficiently for years to come.
BENEFITS OF A TANKLESS WATER HEATER:
- Endless Hot Water: Never run out, even with simultaneous uses like showers and laundry.
- Maximum Energy Savings: Can reduce water heating costs by up to 40% by eliminating standby heat loss.
- Space-Saving Design: Frees up valuable floor space by mounting on a wall.
- Double the Lifespan: Lasts 20+ years, nearly twice as long as a traditional tank.
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION:
A tankless water heater's performance and lifespan depend entirely on the quality of its installation. We handle all plumbing, gas, and venting connections, often including upgrading gas lines for tankless units or installing new temperature and pressure relief valves for tanks.
With Principle Plumbing, you're choosing experienced professionals who specialize in modern water heating systems. We'll help you choose the right path for your family's needs and budget.

Water Heater Upgrade Services
Transform your home's comfort, efficiency, and reliability with a modern water heater upgrade. Our expert team helps homeowners across Aurora, Bloomingdale, Carol Stream, Elmhurst, Glen Ellyn, Glendale Heights, Lisle, Lombard, Naperville, Oak Brook, Oakbrook Terrace, Warrenville, West Chicago, Wheaton replace outdated, inefficient systems with high-performance solutions that provide exceptional comfort, significant energy savings, and years of worry-free reliability.
Upgrading your water heater before it fails allows you to make an informed decision and choose the right system for your home, rather than being forced into an emergency replacement with limited options and higher costs during a crisis.
Modern high-efficiency tank water heaters feature improved insulation and burner design that reduces heat loss, heats water faster with higher recovery rates, and lowers your monthly utility bills while providing dependable and proven reliability.
Traditional tank water heaters that are over 10-12 years old are living on borrowed time and pose a significant risk of catastrophic failure, potentially causing extensive water damage to your home and belongings.
Tankless on-demand water heating systems provide endless hot water for simultaneous uses, reduce water heating costs by up to 40% by eliminating standby heat loss, free up valuable floor space, and last 20+ years—nearly twice as long as traditional tanks.
Our licensed plumbers start with a consultation to understand your needs, assess your home's size, number of bathrooms, and family usage to recommend the perfectly sized unit—whether it's a high-recovery tank or a high-efficiency tankless system.
We safely remove and dispose of your old water heater, then handle all plumbing, gas, and venting connections professionally, often including gas line upgrades for tankless units and installing new temperature and pressure relief valves for tanks.
Proper maintenance is key to maximizing your new water heater's lifespan and efficiency. For tank heaters, we recommend annual service to flush sediment and inspect the anode rod. For tankless heaters, annual descaling removes mineral buildup from the heat exchanger.
We provide comprehensive estimates with upfront, honest pricing covering the full installation—no surprises. Our lincensed, bonded, insured experts ensure every installation meets or exceeds local building codes for your family's safety and long-term performance.
Experience a New Standard of Comfort and Efficiency
Stop paying to heat water you aren't using and eliminate the worry of a failing tank. A water heater upgrade is a smart investment in your home that pays dividends through lower energy bills, improved performance, and peace of mind knowing your system is safe and reliable.
