Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair
Is Your Water Heater Leaking?
If you see puddles or rusty water near your unit, don’t wait—call a pro. Leaks can come from broken valves or corroded tanks. Fixing them fast prevents big water damage or mold.
Hot Water Runs Out Too Fast?
If you run out of hot water in just minutes, it could be from sediment in the tank or a broken heating part. A plumber can flush the tank and fix the problem quickly.
Strange Noises from the Heater?
Banging or popping sounds often mean mineral buildup inside the tank. These sounds can lead to bigger issues if ignored. A quick cleaning and check-up can solve this.
High Energy Bills?
If your electric or gas bills go up for no reason, your water heater could be using too much power. An expert can fix it or suggest a more efficient model.
When to Replace Your Water Heater
Is It Over 10 Years Old?
Water heaters last about 8–12 years. If yours is older than that, it’s time to think about a new one. New models work better, save energy, and cost less to run.
Frequent Repairs? Time for an Upgrade
Are you calling the plumber again and again? If repairs are adding up, it might be smarter to replace the whole unit. New heaters are more reliable and can lower your bills.
Tankless vs. Traditional Heaters
- Tankless Heaters: Heat water only when needed. Great for small homes and energy savings.
- Traditional Heaters: Store hot water in a tank. They’re cheaper upfront and better for larger households.
Picking the Right Heater
Every home is different. A local expert can help you choose based on:
- How much hot water you use
- Space available
- Energy source (gas or electric)
- Efficiency goals
You can choose from electric, gas, solar, or hybrid models to fit your needs.
