If Your Water Heater is More than 10 Years Old, You Need to Read This!

Your water heater could break down any minute. Do you know what signs to watch out for? Conventional storage-tank water heaters are made to last for 10 to 13 years, but that isn’t the only reason to consider replacing your water heater.

First off, here are a few signs of water heater problems that you should never ignore, especially if your heater is reaching the end of its lifespan:

  • Water won’t get hot.
  • Water gets hot, but it takes longer than it should.
  • Your water doesn’t get as hot as it did in the past.
  • You hear strange noises when you turn on the hot water
  • The water has a brown tint or unusual smell.
  • Puddles around or under your water heater
  • Noticeable leaks/drips

Why You Need to Replace a Water Heater That’s More than 10 Years Old

Conventional water heaters are pretty simple. Cold water enters the tank and is heated by a gas burner or electric element. The temperature is controlled by a thermostat. The heated water causes pressure to build in the tank, and when you turn on the tap, the pressure sends your hot water out of the faucet.

As a simple system, many problems are relatively easy to fix. But if your heater is more than 10 years old, replacing it is your best option.

Here’s why:

  • New water heaters use 20% less energy.
  • A new water heater can save $700 on every costs over the life of the unit.
  • Repairs can be expensive, and older water heaters are likely to break down again in the near future.
