Most homes are equipped with tank water heaters. That’s no surprise, since they’re cheap and reliable, capable of lasting well over a decade.

Plumbing leaks never seem to be that big a deal in the beginning. After all, it’s just a few drips here and a few drops there.

Summer is on the way and chances are you’ve already needed to run your air conditioner more than once this year. If you need a new system installed, now is the time to do so.
