Answers to frequently asked water heater replacement questions from Franklin homeowners.
Replace your water heater in Franklin 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.
Most Franklin jurisdictions in KY require a permit for water heater replacement to ensure the installation is inspected for code compliance.
