Elder & Young Plumbing offers expert water heater replacement and installation for gas and electric tank units throughout Lake Forest, California. Whether you’re upgrading your home or replacing an old unit, our licensed plumbers will size, install, and test your new water heater for perfect, reliable performance.

Our full-service approach includes taking out your old heater, installing the new one, handling all permits, and testing every connection before we’re done.

The Benefits of Choosing a Conventional Tank Water Heater Instead of a Tankless System

Reliable performance, easy maintenance, and lasting value, the traditional water heater still delivers

Although tankless water heaters have their advantages, traditional tank-style units continue to offer strong value and dependable performance in Lake Forest.

Why the classic tank-style water heater still holds its place as a favorite among homeowners.

  • Affordable Installation – Tank water heaters cost less to install and get running quickly
  • Easy Upgrade – Perfect for emergency replacements when you can’t wait for a long installation
  • Stable Water Temperature – Stores heated water for instant use without temperature fluctuations
  • Simple Service – Basic design allows quick servicing and long-term reliability
  • Widespread Compatibility – No major changes required to your home’s plumbing or venting system

We work with high-efficiency tank water heater models from the most respected brands in the industry, such as Rheem and Bradford White. Our licensed team will help you choose the perfect system for your household’s water demand, energy goals, and budget.

Catch the symptoms of a failing water heater before it breaks down

Your water heater could be ready for replacement if you notice any of these issues.

  • No Hot Water or Inconsistent Temperature
  • Discolored or metallic-tasting hot water
  • Unusual noises like banging or crackling coming from the tank
  • Water Leaking Around the Base of the Unit
  • Your Water Heater is Over 8 to 12 Years Old
  • Rising Energy Bills

Even if your current water heater is still running, upgrading to a new high-efficiency model can lower your energy bills and deliver more dependable hot water. Our licensed plumbers will inspect your setup, recommend the ideal replacement, and complete the installation safely and cleanly, often the same day.
