The lifespan of a water heater can span between 8 and 12 years. This estimation varies based on water quality, placement, maintenance, and the quality of installation. If your water heater is nearing its estimated lifespan, you’ll want to keep an eye out for these potential issues. It may not be much longer before you need to replace it.
Potential Water Heater Issues:
- Leaks around the base of the water heater
- Issues with hot and cold water
- A rise in costly bills could be due to a malfunctioning unit
While the purchase of a new water heater might be intimidating, consider the opportunity to purchase a more efficient model. With the advancement of technology, equipment has become more efficient which saves you money in the long run as well as helps keep energy usage down.
Not sure if your water heater is ready for replacement? We recommend having it inspected. Yearly maintenance is suggested for water heaters. The inspection can find any possible malfunctions to repair or find that smaller parts of the water heater should be replaced first before replacing the whole unit. These frequent checks will help the system stay tuned up, work well, and last longer.
When it is time for a replacement, whether you’re ready for a more efficient system or need to replace the system because of a breakdown, there are lots of options available to you including tank water heaters and tankless water heaters. If you were satisfied with your water heater, take a picture of the label on it. This will tell you the specs that you’ll want to look for in a new heater. If you weren’t happy with your water heater, this sticker information can be a starting point of what you don’t want in your next water heater.
