Is Your Water Heater Whispering "Goodbye"? Here's How to Know (and How We Can Help!)
Your water heater works tirelessly behind the scenes, keeping your showers steamy. But just like any appliance, it can't last forever. Knowing the signs it's nearing retirement can prevent a cold surprise (literally!). Here's what to watch for:
Over a Decade Old? Consider an Upgrade! Most traditional water heaters have a lifespan of around 10 years. If yours is pushing past a decade, a replacement might be wise.
Strange Noises? A healthy water heater shouldn't be noisy. Rumbling, banging, or popping can indicate sediment buildup, reducing efficiency and potentially leading to bigger problems.
Rusty Reds in Your Shower? Hot water shouldn't be rusty! Discolored water suggests corrosion inside the tank, contaminating your water supply.
Lukewarm Love Affair? Is your hot water supply dwindling faster than usual? Sediment buildup or failing heating elements could be to blame.
Wet Woes? Water pooling around your water heater is a major red flag, signaling a potential leak. Leaks can cause water damage and pose safety hazards.
By recognizing these signs, you can be proactive and avoid a cold shower, potential water damage repairs and an emergency replacement.
