🔧 How to Tell If Your Water Heater Needs Replacement

🕰️ 1. Age of the Water Heater

Most tank water heaters last between 8–12 years, while tankless models can last up to 20 years. If your unit is near or past its expected lifespan, it may be time to replace it.

💧 2. Leaks Around the Tank

Water pooling around your heater is a major warning. Even small leaks can indicate a serious problem, like a cracked tank or faulty valve, and can cause significant damage if left unchecked.

🔊 3. Strange Noises

Popping, rumbling, or banging sounds usually mean sediment has built up inside the tank. This forces the heater to work harder, reducing efficiency and shortening its lifespan.

🌡️ 4. Inconsistent or Lukewarm Water

If your water temperature fluctuates or never gets hot enough, it may indicate a failing heating element or sediment buildup that prevents the water from heating properly.

💸 5. Rising Energy Bills

An older or inefficient water heater can drive up energy costs, as it uses more power to heat the same amount of water.

🛠️ 6. Frequent Repairs

If you find yourself calling for repairs often, replacing the unit may be more cost-effective than continued maintenance.
