Making the right decision about water heater replacement can save you thousands. Learn the signs, understand your options, and discover how to protect your investment.
Don't wait for a catastrophic failure. Recognize these warning signs and take action before you're left without hot water.
Most water heaters last 8-12 years. If yours is approaching or past this age, start planning for replacement.
If your hot water looks rusty or discolored, the inside of your tank may be corroding—a sign of impending failure.
Leaks around the base of your water heater indicate internal tank failure. This requires immediate replacement.
If your water doesn't get as hot as it used to or the temperature fluctuates, your heating elements may be failing.
Rumbling, popping, or banging sounds indicate sediment buildup, which reduces efficiency and damages the tank.
An aging water heater works harder to heat water, significantly increasing your monthly utility costs.
Running out of hot water faster than usual? Your tank's heating capacity is declining.
If you're calling for repairs multiple times a year, it's more cost-effective to replace the entire unit.
Cloudy hot water or a metallic taste indicates mineral buildup or corrosion inside the tank.
Once the manufacturer's warranty expires, you're financially vulnerable to expensive repairs.
