Five Reasons to Replace Your Hot Water Heater
Before the holiday season comes into full swing, with friends and family visiting your home for parties and events, be sure your hot water heater can withstand the ordeal. Here are some signs that you need to replace your hot water heater now, not later.
- Temperature – If your hot water heater is unable to remain at a consistent temperature, then your guests and your family are in for a bad time. Either someone adjusted the thermostat incorrectly or your hot water heater is too small to provide enough hot water.
- Rusty Water – As your water heater ages, the tank will begin to rust and corrode. Then, you may notice rust in your water. A rusting tank is both dangerous and costly if left unattended for too long.
- Noises – Any significant noises from your hot water heater, including gurgling and rumbling, is a sign of extensive sediment buildup in the water heater tank. An old system is also a sure cause of noises.
- Leaks – A leaking hot water heater is never a good sign. If you have a significant leak around the tank itself, then either rust or corrosion is beginning to eat the tank away. You cannot simply repair a corroded tank. It will be structurally weak. It must be replaced.
- Efficiency – Every homeowner wants an efficient household. Over time, your hot water heater will endure low efficiency from age, leaks, and other common issues. To increase efficiency and save yourself money, you’ll want to schedule water heater replacement immediately.
