Should I Replace My Old Water Heater?
Have you recently been contemplating whether or not your water heater is ready to be replaced? We have three common questions you might want to take into account when deciding if a replacement is the best option!
Has your water heater been regularly maintained?
According to The U.S. Department of Energy the lifespan of a water heater is around 10 to 15 years; however, if your home uses hard water this may put yours at a lower range. With hard water there are minerals present which can buildup if not regularly flushed which can damage the inside of your water heater causing leaks. If you haven’t had your water heater maintained it’s only a matter of time before it fails.
Are you experiencing any of these issues?
Continuously running out of hot water: If you are continuously running out of water when you know your tank holds enough this may be a sign that your water heater is too old and is having a hard time keeping up. All of that running out of hot water can be exhausting!
Are you seeing an increase in your water bill?
If you are seeing a random increase in your water bill it may be caused from your aging water heater. As your water heater ages, it becomes less efficient. Some things don’t get better with age!
Are you seeing visibly rusty water?
If you are seeing rust in your water it may also be a sign to replace your water heater. The inside of your water heater could be deteriorating causing rust. Replace it and rust be gone!
