When to Replace Your Water Heater

Is it time to replace your water heater? Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is here with some signals to look for when deciding whether it’s time to invest in a new water heating system

Age 

If your water heater gets routine maintenance, you can expect it to operate around ten years, depending on the number of people living in your home. Once your water heater hits 10 years, it’s probably time to seriously discuss replacement, especially before a leak causes any damage. 

Rusty Water 

If the water from your water heater (hot side pipes) is coming out rusty, it may be an indicator that your water heater is rusting on the inside. This could cause a leak, not to mention contaminated water. Contact an expert plumber to have them check if your water heater system is getting ready to give out. 

Strange Noises 

Rumbling or banging sounds coming from your water heater can be a signal that sediment has built up on the base of the tank. This means your equipment will be less efficient and will require more gas or electricity to heat your water, causing higher water heating bills. It also means that the extra time spent heating your water could produce more damage on your tank, possibly generating cracks or leaks. 

Water 

If you notice water around your water heater tank, you might have a leak. Ask an expert plumber to come out and inspect your system and they can provide you a quote on a new water heater if necessary.
