With proper maintenance, water heaters can last a long time, but they can’t last forever!

If you notice any of these signs, it is time to replace your water heater:

• Lots of repairs: If you’ve had to repair your water heater often, it may be time to explore your options and see what else is out there. Technology has changed and water heaters are much more efficient than they used to be. Tankless technology allows you to have endless hot water. Do you have a garden tub? A big family? Someone who loves long showers? Tankless is definitely the answer!
• Higher energy bills: Eventually hot water heaters will build up minerals and lose efficiency. If your hot water bill seems to be going up, give us a call and we can come out and determine if it’s time to replace or repair that water heater.
• Strange noises: Does your water heater sound like popcorn popping? As water heaters age, they develop mineral deposits and sometimes a plate of minerals in the bottom (that’s why we recommend yearly maintenance to drain the water at the bottom of the tank and get rid of the minerals). When the water heats below the minerals, it can start to boil and then start making popping and cracking sounds inside of the water heater.
• Old age: You definitely want to replace your water heater before it has a catastrophic failure. Waiting until your water heater springs a leak is a recipe for disaster and a huge insurance claim. Water heaters generally last 10-15 years with good maintenance.
