Rheem Water Heater Leaking Replacement: Rheem EH-25M to EHG-25S at Ferraria Park on 20 Feb 2025

A customer contacted us via WhatsApp, reporting no hot water. Upon assessment, we found the Rheem water heater was manufactured in 2012, exceeding its lifespan. Internal deterioration and aging components made repair unfeasible. Additionally, the ceiling access panel was too far from the heater, making servicing difficult.

To restore hot water, we recommended replacing the unit with a new Rheem heater of the same model for seamless installation. We also proposed cutting a new ceiling access panel for easier maintenance. This ensures long-term reliability, prevents unexpected failures, and provides the customer with a safe, efficient hot water solution.
