Signs Your Water Heater Requires Repairs
If your water heater fails while you are taking a shower, you’ll certainly know there’s a problem with it. Some other signs of water heater trouble are not so obvious. For example, your water heater might be making unusual noises, such as banging, hissing, popping, or rattling. You might also spot a puddle of water around the base of your water heater. In both of these situations, you should call an experienced plumber right away, even if you’re still getting hot water from your faucets and showerheads.
Additional signs that your water heater requires repairs include:
- Fluctuations in water temperature
- Cloudy or rust-colored water
- Reduced hot water pressure
- Running out of hot water too soon
- Extensive time waiting for water to heat up
By working with one of our licensed technicians, you can be assured the source of the issue with your water heater will be discovered. Once we know the nature and extent of the problem, we can advise you on the best solution.
When to Replace Your Water Heater
At some point, your water heater will lose its ability to heat water efficiently and effectively. When this time comes, it’s no longer cost-effective to spend money on repairs. The best option will be to replace your unit. Typically, you will need to install a new water heater every 10 to 15 years, although tankless models are known to last up to 20 years. If you’ve noticed an increase in your energy bills, one of the culprits might be an inefficient water heater. Reach out to our team today for a water heater inspection to determine if it’s time for a replacement.
Selecting the Right Type of Water Heater
Once you’ve decided that you need a new water heater, you’ll need to choose a system that best suits your needs and budget. There are two main types of water heaters available: traditional and tankless. Traditional water heaters continually work to heat a large tank of water, whereas tankless units heat water on demand. Although a traditional model has a lower upfront cost, a tankless water heater saves money in the long run through its greater efficiency.
