When Should I Replace My Water Heater?
A water heater generally lasts between eight to 12 years. If your water heater was installed over eight years ago or exhibits any of the following signs, it should be serviced or replaced.
- Low Hot Water Pressure: Mineral deposits against your water heating elements can block the pipes and cause reduced water pressure and fluctuations in water temperatures.
- Discolored Hot Water With an Unpleasant Smell: Brownish or cloudy water from the water heater with an odd or metallic odor could indicate that the heater is rusting from the inside. This is a serious health hazard and can potentially cause flooding if the water heater loses too much integrity from its metal frame.
- Leaking Water Heater: A leaking water heater will need to be inspected to find the location of the leak.
- Strange Noises from the Water Heater: Some noises from your water heater are perfectly ordinary, but if you hear strange cracking, popping, or banging noises, you should immediately call a plumber. These noises can indicate a broken dip tube, mineral scale deposits, or overheating hot water.
Traditional Water Heaters
Traditional tank water heaters keep hot water available by continually heating it and storing it in a large tank. This allows hot water to be on hand when needed.
