Plumbers are Essential During this Pandemic.

There are essential and non-essential businesses during this challenging time.  Plumbers fall into the former category.  Plumbers, as well as HVAC technicians and electricians are continuing to enter the homes of residents around Spokane and Coeur D’Alene.  Just as you are relying on them, they are relying on you to keep them safe.

Remember that our guys are accustomed to dealing with very unhealthy environments, and they have a series of inoculations they have to go through as a plumber to protect themselves.  As you can well imagine they want to make sure that if there is anyone quarantined, we’re not putting our employees at risk.

They Told Me the Water Heater is Five Years Old.

So, you are taking the plunge and buying your dream home in The River City.  One of the things you need to know from the jump is “how old is the existing water heater?”   If the old owners told you that it is about five years old, what should you expect from the future of this invaluable appliance?

The short answer is…as long as it’s still heating water sufficiently, without leaks or strange noises, you might still get around ten-twelve total years of service from it. A water heater’s useful life varies, depending on the type of water heater, the quality of the unit, and how well it’s been maintained.

When the time comes (and it will) that you will need your new home’s water heater maintained or replace count on the expertise of A River City Plumbing serving Spokane, Coeur D’Alene and their surrounding areas.  The correct phone number to call in your area is just a click away.  Visit arivercityplumbingservice.com on Google.
