Water Heaters

Water Heaters are designed to last many years with outstanding performance and reliable operation. All water heaters will eventually need to be replaced, factors like harsh water and natural gas quality can shorten the lifespan.



Water heaters are often installed in the basement/cellar of a building. They heat water for use in kitchen sinks, bathroom showers, and any other place where hot water is desired.

Signs your water heater isn’t working properly:



  • Fluctuating water temperatures.
  • You have poor water pressure.
  • A leaking water heater tank.
  • If you have cloudy, rusty, or smelly water.
  • Strange sounds coming from the water heater tank.

Hose Bibbs

All hose bibbs are equipped with atmospheric vacuum breakers.

  • Modern hose bibbs can’t be under continuous pressure for more than 12 hours at any time.
  • Make sure your garden hose valve and the hose itself are completely drained of all water before the first frost.


Self-Closing Nozzle:

  • Always relieve pressure in the hose upon water shut off to activate the drainage of the hydrant.
