Signs You Need Water Heater Replacement

Your water heater works day and night to ensure you have hot water when needed. However, even the most well-maintained system will fail eventually. Here are the most common signs you need hot water heater installation, repair or replacement.

Age: Most water heaters last between 8 and 12 years. If your unit is that old or older, it’s time to consider replacing it before it fails.

Rusty or Discolored Water: If you notice rusty or discolored water, it could be a sign that your water heater is rusting or has mineral buildup. Once the interior tank starts deteriorating, the only way to fix it is to replace it.

Noises: Does your water heater pop, gurgle, or rumble? It probably doesn’t mean it will explode, but it could mean there’s too much sediment built up in the tank, which could cause it to fail prematurely.

Leaking Water Heater: Water leaks are a major problem that typically happens when there is a crack in the water heater tank. Like rust, if the tank is cracked and leaking, you must replace it.

You can avoid most issues and expensive repairs by hiring a water heater maintenance company for routine tune-ups.

Don’t use harsh chemicals; call us for safe, effective drain cleaning.

Which Is Better: An Electric Water Heater or Gas?

If you can install a gas water heater or electric, you might wonder which one will give you the most bang for your buck. Here are some things to consider.

Electric water heaters are typically easier to install, require less maintenance, and are more energy efficient, which can save you money on your monthly utility expenses. They’re also safer because there’s no risk of a gas leak. However, they can be more expensive to operate with fluctuating electricity prices.

Gas water heaters are more expensive to install, especially if you need to run gas lines and install a venting system. However, they heat water faster, making them ideal for families with high hot water demands. Gas water heaters operate during power outages so that you won’t be without hot water during a blackout.

We work with gas and electric tanked water heaters, so call one of our experts for a consultation if you’re unsure which system is right for you.
