When should you upgrade your water heater?

It can be attractive to put off replacing your water heater. There never appears to be a good time to do it. Between 7-10 years is the most you can expect your water heater to last. If you have an older unit that is starting to show signs and symptoms of failure, you may want to start thinking about a replacement. Installing a new, more cost-efficient unit will help you spend less on repair bills that may start to accumulate as your unit ages.

Here are some evidence that it could be time to upgrade your water heater:

• Poor water quality: Starting to detect rust or sediment in your water? This is yet another signal that the tank is corroded, and that your water heater should be replaced.
• Lack of hot water: Has there been a change in your water temperature? Are you using up hot water too soon? There might be an fundamental issue with your water heater that requires a replacement. We will check your device and provide you with a economical option.
• Leaking tank: If you see puddles around the base of the tank, this is a sure sign that the tank has a leak. This is often as a consequence of corrosion from minerals and sediments in the water. A leaking tank cannot be handled with a quick repair. More often than not, you will need to replace your entire water heater. Don’t worry, we can help you choose the best model that meets your needs and budget.
