When to Replace Your Water Heater
Is It Time for Water Heater Replacement Services?
Our water heaters are usually tucked away somewhere in the basement, so we often don't think about them until a problem arises. If you are showering or washing dishes and notice the hot water is turning cold quickly or, worse, is coming out freezing cold, it may be time for a repair or replacement. Knowing the warning signs that it is time to replace your water heater can help you avoid the inconvenience of cold water. Below are various signs that it may be time to call a professional for water heater replacement services.
Old Age: A water heater can last anywhere between 15 to 20 years. If you don't know the age of your water heater, you will need to identify your unit's brand name and serial number to determine its age. If you are having trouble finding this information, you can always contact a professional for assistance.
Running Out of Hot Water: One of the easiest ways to indicate that it is time for a water heater replacement is when you run out of hot water quickly. There is nothing worse than having to take a cold shower after a long day. When your water is lukewarm, turns cold quickly, or doesn't warm up at all, it is time for replacement services.
Water Discoloration: When the water from your faucets looks rusty, cloudy, or sandy, it is time to call a professional. Water discoloration is often due to corrosion or sediment buildup and indicates that your tank should be replaced as soon as possible.
High Utility Bills: Have your utility bills skyrocketed, and you are unsure why? Your water heater may be the culprit. When your water heater isn't working properly, it will cause your system to work harder than it should, causing your utility bills to increase significantly.
