You probably don’t think much about your water heater – until you go to take a nice, hot shower that turns into a terrible, cold shower! And while your boiler or furnace provides you with warmth only part of the year, your water heater works hard for you every single day.

So, when do you need a new water heater? Look for these signs:

  • Insufficient or inconsistent hot water

  • Strange noises

  • Visible leaks

  • Corrosion on the tank or pipes

  • Rusty or brown water

  • Metallic taste or smell in the water

  • Your water heater is over 10 years old

  • You’ve called for frequent repairs

If any of the above signs indicate that a new water heater is in your future, we can help! We specialize in high-efficiency equipment from top manufacturers like SuperStor, Buderus, Bradford White, and more. Choose from direct-fired units with a dedicated oil burner and indirect-fired units that draw their heat from the boiler or furnace and electric. We’ll work with you to help you select the equipment that’s best for your home and your budget!

The last thing you need is to run out of hot water in the shower or washing machine or while you’re doing the dishes! Call MacFarlane Energy at 781-326-9500 for your FREE, no-obligation, in-home water heater consultation and estimate, or contact us.
