How can you tell your water heater needs to be replaced?

It can be attractive to avoid replacing your water heater. There never seems to be a good time to do it. The typical lifespan of this unit is 7-10 years. You may need to consider replacement if you are beginning to notice issues with an older model. Installing a new, more cost-efficient unit will help you spend less on repair bills that may begin to accumulate as your unit ages. Here are some evidence that it might be time to replace your water heater:

• Poor water quality: Starting to detect rust or sediment in your water? This is another sign that your tank has corroded, and that your water heater will need to be replaced.
• Lack of hot water: Has there been a change in your water temperature? Are you using up hot water too soon? There may be an underlying issue with your water heater that requires a replacement. We will check out your device and offer you a cost-effective option.
• Leaking tank: If you see puddles around the bottom of the tank, this is a sure sign that the tank has a leak. More times than not this is as a consequence of corrosion from minerals and sediments in the water. A leaking tank cannot be handled with a quick repair. In most cases, you will need to replace your entire water heater. Not to worry, we can help you find the best model that fits your needs and budget.
