Signs You Need Water Heater Replacement
While you ideally want your water heater to last as long as possible, there comes a point when it’s best to invest in water heater replacement. Below, we’ve laid out some ways you can tell your water heater should be replaced by a professional.
Fluctuating Water Temperature
If you notice the water temperature continually changing while the tap is running, that could be due to a problem with your thermostat or your water heater’s heating elements. If your heating elements are failing, you’ll likely need to get your water heater replaced completely.
Repairs Needed Frequently
When your water heater repairs are beginning to add up, that could mean your water heater is on its last legs. It likely makes more sense to replace your water heater rather than continuing to pay for costly repairs. Our team at Absolute Services can install your new water heater quickly and efficiently.
Low Water Pressure
A drop in your water pressure could be the result of a blockage in your water heater. If the blockage is severe, repair may not be an option. For these circumstances, we offer water heater installation in Louisville, KY.
Increased Energy Bills
If you’re not using more hot water than usual but your energy bills are spiking, that could indicate an inefficiency with your water heater. Restoring efficiency can be difficult by repair alone, so we will likely recommend a water heater replacement.
Strange Sounds
Pay attention to any noises that are unusual coming from your water heater. Especially if you hear snapping, rumbling, or popping, you may have excessive mineral or sediment build up. One way to prevent mineral buildup is with a water softener. Once it occurs, however, replacing your water heater may be the best solution.
Discolored Water
The water coming from your fixtures should be clear. If it’s cloudy or reddish, you may have a corroding water tank. Leaving a corroding water tank untreated can lead to leaks and costly water damage. Get your water heater replaced as soon as possible.
Old Age
The average lifespan of a traditional water heater with a tank is up to 15 years. A tankless water heater model can last up to 20 years. Once your water heater begins to reach that age, especially if it’s having problems, you should consider a water heater replacement.
