Is it time to replace your water heater? Calverley Service Experts is here with a few indicators to look for when determining whether it’s time to buy a new water heating system.
Age
If your water heater receives routine maintenance, you can expect it to last around a decade, depending on the number of occupants in a home. Once your water heater reaches 10 years, it’s likely time to seriously consider replacement, especially before a leak occurs.
Rusty Water
If the water from your water heater (hot side pipes) is streaming out rusty, it could be a sign that your water heater is rusting on the inside. This could cause a leak, not to mention impure water. Ask an expert plumber to have them see if your water heater system is getting ready to give out.
Weird Noises
Rumbling or banging sounds coming from your water heater can be a sign that residue has built up on the bottom of the tank. This means your equipment will be less efficient and will require more gas or electricity to heat your water, causing higher water heating bills. It also means that the excess time spent heating your water could produce more damage on your tank, leading to cracks or leaks.
Water
If you discover water around your water heater tank, you may have a leak. Ask an expert plumber to come out and inspect your system and they can provide you a quote on a new water heater if necessary.
