Know When It’s Time to Replace Your Water Heater

A water heater is a hardworking part of your home, but it won’t last forever. Most units last 8–12 years, and ignoring warning signs can lead to sudden breakdowns, leaks, or costly water damage. Recognizing the right time for replacement ensures you always have dependable hot water.

Top Signs You Need a Water Heater Replacement

  • Age of the Unit – If your heater is over 10 years old, it’s near the end of its life.

  • Rusty Water – Corrosion inside the tank is a clear warning of failure.

  • Inconsistent Heating – Fluctuating water temperature signals declining performance.

  • Strange Noises – Rumbling or banging sounds often mean sediment buildup.

  • Visible Leaks – Even small drips can quickly become major issues.
