Signs Your Water Heater Is on Its Last Legs

Devices older than 10 years are at an increased risk for leaking, rusting, and causing potential property damage. Call McQuillan Bros’ HVAC contractors in Saint Paul to discuss high-efficiency replacement options installed by our skilled, reputable technicians.
