Is it Time to Replace Your Water Heater? Signs its Time

How do you know if your water heater needs a repair or needs to be replaced? With proper maintenance and repairs, most water heaters usually last from 8 to 10 years. Here are the signs to look for to know if it’s time to change out your water heater:

 1.The Lifespan: As mentioned above, most heaters last quite a few years but if you’ve had your heater for over a decade, it’s probably time to think about changing it, even if it’s still working properly.

2. Proper Maintenance: If there wasn’t regular upkeep with your water heater, you might have to replace your unit sooner than you think.

3. Wear & Tear: If your water heater is leaking, making loud knocking noises, or producing discolored water, it’s time to replace it. These are clear signs that your heater is underperforming.

4. Cold Water: If your sinks and showers are only letting out cold water, there could be a problem with your water heater. It could be that your water heater is too small for the size of your house and should be replaced with something that can handle the size of your current household.

5. High Heating Bills: When your water heater performance starts to decline due to aging, it may start to affect your bills. Most of the heating energy in your home is used by hot water, it could be time to get a professional opinion if you should replace your water heater.
