Replace your water heater in Pontiac when it is over 10 to 12 years old, produces rusty or discolored water indicating internal corrosion, leaks from the tank body, requires frequent repairs, or no longer meets your household hot water demand. A water heater approaching these conditions often fails unexpectedly — replacement before failure avoids an emergency.
For a tank water heater, the right size depends on the number of occupants: 30 to 40 gallons for 1 to 2 people, 40 to 50 gallons for 3 to 4 people, and 50 to 80 gallons for larger households. For tankless units, the required flow rate in GPM determines the correct unit size. Phoenician Plumbing assesses your household demand and recommends the right unit for your Pontiac home.
Most Pontiac jurisdictions in IL require a permit for water heater replacement to ensure the installation is inspected for code compliance. Phoenician Plumbing handles the permit process for Pontiac water heater replacements as part of our installation service, so you do not need to navigate the permit office on your own.
Extend the life of your new water heater in Pontiac by flushing the tank annually to remove sediment, replacing the anode rod every 3 to 5 years, setting the thermostat to 120°F to reduce mineral buildup and tank stress, and inspecting the T&P valve annually.

"They have done many of my storefront locations and truly are the BEST. Honest and reliable, highly recommend them!"
"Had an under-slab water line burst. They came out that day, capped off the bad line and restored water to the rest of the house, then rerouted the water line through the attic with minimal drywall damage. Very clean, respectful, knowledgeable, and professional. Only plumber I will ever call."
"Called for a clogged kitchen drain I had been fighting for weeks. The plumber came out, cleared it completely with hydro-jetting, and even showed me what was causing the blockage. Professional from start to finish."
