Signs that your hot water system needs servicing or replacement
Problems tend to arise in heaters more than 5-10 years old, so we recommend replacing your tank if we feel a repair won’t do any justice. Not sure if you need a full replacement? Let’s look at some common signs that it’s time to replace:
PERSISTENT NOISES
Sometimes the tank makes noises because the heating element is burning out. If you have flushed out your tank and removed the sediment but are still hearing strange noises, it could be time to replace the entire unit.
HOT WATER STOPS ALTOGETHER
When our customers experience NO hot water, it’s likely there’s a broken heating element.
TOO MUCH SEDIMENT
Hot water tanks see a ton of usage over the years, especially if you have a large family. Most customers are surprised to learn that unchecked mineral buildup inside the tank can clog plumbing lines and shorten the life of the unit.
AGE
As mentioned above, heaters generally last 5-10 years. However, any hot water heater that is making noises, failing to produce hot water, or is unable to maintain a constant water temperature needs to be checked as soon as possible.
