When to Replace Your Water Heater

Water heaters don’t last forever. Replacement may be the best option if:

Your water heater is 10+ years old
The tank is leaking or corroded
Repairs are frequent or costly
Hot water supply is inconsistent
Your household hot water demand has increased

If you’re unsure whether repair or replacement makes sense, call (704) 634-4466 — we’ll walk you through your options.

We had an amazing experience with Queen City on a Sunday evening. Water was backing up into our laundry room and causing us to panic. I contacted Queen City and they quickly had an after-hours plumber at our house. Vinton diagnosed and fixed our problem and was so kind and professional. We will definitely use them again!
