When Is It Time to Replace Your Water Heater?
Water heaters do not always fail suddenly. In many cases, they provide clues that replacement is approaching. Recognizing these signs can prevent unexpected breakdowns and protect your home from leaks or water damage. You may need a new water heater if you notice:
- The system is 10 to 12 years old or older
- Frequent breakdowns or recurring repairs
- Leaks around the tank or corrosion on components
- Discolored or rusty hot water
- Reduced hot water capacity
- Rising utility bills from poor efficiency
- Noises such as popping, rumbling, or crackling
If you are unsure whether repair or replacement is the better choice, our technicians provide honest evaluations based on your system’s condition and household needs.
