5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Water Heater
Unfortunately, sooner or later you’re bound to notice some signs of wear and tear on your water heater. No HVAC system lasts forever and it’s important to be aware of the signs that your water tank needs professional attention.
It’s too old:
The majority of water heaters last anywhere between 8 to 10 years. It’s a good idea to replace it when you notice 10 years have passed since its manufacture.
It’s rusty:
Although steel is the strongest available material, it tends to rust. If you notice your water running orange or certain areas of your tank have rusted, it’s important to have it looked at.
It makes abnormal noises:
As your heater ages, you will start to hear rumbling noises that gradually get louder and more rattly. Noises are usually due to sediment buildup that causes the system to use up more energy than normal and accelerate the rate of damage.
It’s leaky:
As your heater ages, you might begin noticing leaks in the form of water collecting on the floor. This requires immediate attention as it could lead to unwanted and costly property damage if not addressed right away.
It’s not heating properly:
A water tank that doesn’t heat could be due to a misadjusted thermostat, a heating element that is broken, a tank that’s too small to accommodate for its use or in many cases, it could just be due to age.
