5 Signs it’s Time to Replace Your Hot Water Heater
Hot water heaters don’t last forever, in fact, in most cases it’s hard to recognize that a water heater is on its last leg until it inevitably fails. If you’re concerned that time is near, we’ve outlined some telltale signs that it might be nearing time for a replacement.
AGE
The average life expectancy for a traditional water heater is 8-10 years. If you start to notice a steady decline in performance of an aging system, it may be time to start planning for a replacement. If you don’t know the age of your water heater, you can find out by locating the unit’s serial number on the manufacturer’s sticker and give us a call.
LEAKS WATER
One of the most obvious signs of water heater failure is a leak. Not only can a leak cause a lot of damage, but it also suggests a new water heater is on the horizon and you should call an expert right away.
MAKES LOUD NOISES
Foul odors, gurgling drains, pooling sewage – to say that a sewer system backup is a catastrophe, is an understatement.
HIGH ENERGY EXPENSES
Did you know that water heating can account for 20+ percent of your monthly energy expenses? And it’s reasonable to assume that as water heaters age, this percentage will increase steadily. If your utility bills are getting out of hand, consider a more energy efficient water heater.
RUSTY WATER
Rusty water could be an indication that your water heater is rusting on the interior of the tank. It could also mean you have rusty pipes. Either way, it’s best to contact a plumber to evaluate the situation.
Tank vs Tankless Water Heater, Which One is Right for You?
Regardless of its age, size or style, one thing every home has in common is the need for a hot water heater. The two most popular types of water heaters are the more traditional tank-style and tankless, which is also referred to as on-demand.
