Water Heater Issues? Signs It’s Time for a Repair or Replacement
How to Identify Water Heater Problems Before They Become Costly
A reliable water heater is crucial for everyday comfort, from hot showers to clean dishes. But how do you know when your water heater is on its last leg? Knowing the signs of a failing water heater can help you avoid an unexpected cold shower. Here’s what to look out for and how Boyer Plumbing can help.
Inconsistent Water Temperature: If your water fluctuates between hot and cold, it might be a sign of a failing heating element or thermostat.
Unusual Noises: Popping or rumbling sounds from your water heater can indicate sediment buildup. This not only reduces efficiency but can also lead to damage.
Rusty or Discolored Water: Discoloration could be a sign of corrosion inside your tank. If rust appears in hot water only, it may be time for a replacement.
Water Around the Heater: Any signs of leaks around your water heater are a red flag. Leaks often signal the tank is deteriorating.
Age of the Water Heater: Most water heaters last 8-12 years. If yours is older and showing signs of wear, it may be more cost-effective to replace it.
