We completed a natural gas water heater replacement in Woodstock, IL on November 9. The existing atmospheric-vent unit was replaced in the same location with a new Rheem Performance 40-gallon tall water heater. The same job included a new Rheem water softener and a Corro-Protec powered anode rod, which provides corrosion protection for the tank while powered. The photo shows the finished install in a utility closet.

Tip: if your water heater is leaking or no longer keeps up, have it checked before it fails. Learn more about our water heater installation and replacement, or browse Rheem water heaters.
