No Hot Water? Here’s What Florida Homeowners Should Know Before Replacing Their Water Heater

It always happens at the worst time—your shower turns cold, the dishes won't rinse, and suddenly, you realize your water heater might be done for. But before you rush into replacing it, there are a few things every Florida homeowner should know.

At All Around Water Services, we help Cape Coral and North Fort Myers families get their hot water back—quickly, affordably, and with the right system for their needs.

Signs Your Water Heater Is Failing

A lack of hot water isn’t the only red flag. Watch for these common signs that your water heater may be on its way out:

• Water takes too long to heat or never gets fully hot

• Discolored, rusty, or smelly hot water

• Rumbling or banging sounds from the tank

• Water pooling at the base of the unit

• Higher energy bills without increased usage

• Your heater is over 10–12 years old

Not all of these mean full replacement is required—but they do mean it’s time to take a closer look.

Tank or Tankless: What’s Right for Your Home?

When it comes to water heater replacements, you have options. The two main types are:

Traditional tank water heaters
These store hot water in a large tank, refilling and reheating as needed. They’re reliable and cost-effective but take up more space and lose some energy through standby heat.

Tankless water heaters
Also known as “on-demand” systems, these heat water only when you use it. They save energy, last longer, and take up less space—but may require a larger upfront investment or electrical upgrade.

We help you compare costs, capacity, and long-term value based on your household size and hot water habits.

Should You Repair Instead of Replace?

Sometimes the fix is simple—a faulty thermostat, a tripped breaker, or a worn-out heating element. That’s why we start with a full diagnostic before recommending any replacement.

Our services include:

• Full inspection and troubleshooting

• Honest recommendations: repair when possible

• Same-day water heater replacements

• Code-compliant installation with safety checks

We’ll never replace a system that can be reliably repaired—and we’ll explain your options in plain terms.
