When a Covington homeowner on Vernon Drive reached out about a failing water heater, we knew time was of the essence. Hot water is a necessity, not a luxury—and going without it can disrupt everything from showers to laundry to dishwashing. At A+ Services, we responded promptly, assessed the situation, and completed a same-day installation of a brand-new 50-gallon electric water heater that now keeps this Northern Kentucky home running comfortably and efficiently.
Why This Installation Was Urgent
The homeowner reported inconsistent hot water and strange noises coming from their old unit—classic signs that a water heater is nearing the end of its life. After a quick inspection, our licensed plumber confirmed corrosion inside the tank and sediment buildup that had compromised the system’s performance.
Because the tank was more than 10 years old and showing visible signs of wear, replacement made more sense than repair. Our team walked the homeowner through their options and recommended a 50-gallon electric unit based on the household’s size, water usage, and energy efficiency goals.
Our Installation Process: Efficient and Worry-Free
Our team at A+ Services ensures every water heater replacement is handled with expert care:
- We removed the old, inefficient unit and safely disposed of it.
- New electric lines were checked and tested to meet updated code requirements.
- The new 50-gallon electric water heater was installed with proper insulation and pressure relief valves for safety.
- We flushed and tested the system thoroughly to ensure proper operation before leaving.
By the time we finished, the homeowner had a brand-new, energy-efficient water heater—and peace of mind that hot water wouldn’t be a problem again anytime soon.
Why a 50-Gallon Tank Was the Right Fit
For families of 3–5 people, a 50-gallon tank-style water heater provides the right balance of capacity and affordability. Compared to older units, modern electric water heaters also offer:
- Improved energy efficiency, especially when installed with an insulating jacket
- More consistent hot water delivery with less recovery time
- Longer lifespan when maintained properly
