Signs You Need to Replace Your Water Heater

Your water heater is an essential appliance in your home, providing you with hot water for bathing, cleaning, and daily chores. However, like all appliances, water heaters have a finite lifespan and will eventually require replacement. Recognizing the signs that it’s time for a new water heater is crucial to avoid unexpected breakdowns and ensure the continued comfort of your home. Here are some key indicators that it might be time to consider replacing your water heater:

 Age of the Water Heater:

The age of your water heater is one of the most significant factors to consider. Typically, most water heaters last between 8 to 12 years. If your unit is approaching or surpassing this age range, it’s wise to start thinking about a replacement, even if it seems to be functioning adequately.

Declining Performance:

If you’ve noticed a decrease in the amount of hot water available or if the water doesn’t get as hot as it used to, it could be a sign that your water heater is nearing the end of its life. Sediment buildup and wear and tear can affect its efficiency.

Rusty Water:

Rusty or discolored water coming from your taps can indicate internal corrosion within the water heater tank. This is a clear sign that the unit is deteriorating and may need replacement soon.

Frequent Repairs:

If you find yourself calling for water heater repairs frequently, it might be more cost-effective to invest in a new unit. Continual breakdowns can add up in terms of repair costs and inconvenience.

Leaks:

Any noticeable leaks from the tank or around the unit should not be ignored. Water heater leaks can lead to significant water damage in your home. If your unit is leaking, it’s time to consider a replacement.

Strange Noises:

Unusual sounds like popping, cracking, or rumbling coming from your water heater can indicate sediment buildup. While this issue can sometimes be resolved through maintenance, it can also be a sign of an aging unit that needs replacing.

Energy Efficiency:

Older water heaters tend to be less energy-efficient. Upgrading to a newer, more energy-efficient model can help you save on your utility bills over time.

At Five Star Plumbing Services, we specialize in water heater assessment, repair, and replacement. If you’ve noticed any of these signs or have concerns about your water heater’s performance, don’t hesitate to contact us. Our experienced technicians can provide expert advice and recommend the best course of action to ensure you have a reliable and efficient hot water supply in your home.

Types of Hot Water Heaters

There are several types of hot water heaters to choose from. Which one you get may depend on your preferences and budget. There is the conventional storage-tank water heater, which features a tank that holds a limited number of gallons of water to be heated. This is the most common type of water heater, and most affordable.

Tankless Water Heater (On-Demand Hot Water Heater)

The second type of water heater is a tankless water heater. This type of water heater doesn’t have a tank, but instead, has super-heated coils that heat the water as it goes through the coils. A tankless water heater will cost you more upfront than a conventional tank model. If you size it right, a tankless water heater can provide nearly limitless hot water, so the last person to take a shower doesn’t have to worry about lukewarm water. A tankless water heater can be powered by either gas or electricity. Larger tankless water heaters gobble energy, so a gas-powered one will cost you less money to operate.

Gas Water Heater

A standard gas water heater is powered with propane or natural gas. So your home or business must have a gas line to power a gas water heater. Gas powers both conventional storage-tank water heaters and tankless water heaters. If you have a gas supply, we can run a line for a gas water heater if you are replacing an electric water heater, or relocating the water heater.

Electric Water Heater

An electric water heater of course runs on electricity. An electric model will have a lower upfront cost than a gas model, but may cost you more in energy bills. Electric water heaters also take longer to heat the water. In addition, they can be susceptible to power outages. The good news is,electric water heaters can be installed in any home or business.
