How to Know When It’s Time to Replace Your Water Heater

Water heaters don’t last forever—and when they start to fail, they can leave you with cold water and expensive problems. Knowing when to replace yours can save you from water damage, energy waste, and emergency repair calls.

At All Around Water Services, we help North Fort Myers and Cape Coral homeowners make smart decisions about their water heater systems—before issues become disasters.

Top Signs Your Water Heater May Be Failing

If you’re experiencing any of these, your unit might be nearing the end of its life:

• Water takes too long to heat—or doesn’t heat at all

• Rust-colored water coming from taps

• Rumbling or banging noises from the tank

• Water leaking from the base or pressure valve

• A tank older than 8–10 years

These are red flags that the tank, heating element, or internal components are breaking down.

Why Water Heater Failure is a Bigger Risk in Florida

Florida homes often deal with:

• Hard water that accelerates mineral buildup

• Humid environments that increase tank corrosion

• Higher water usage year-round due to climate

All of this shortens the lifespan of your water heater—making proactive replacement even more important.

Benefits of Replacing Your Water Heater Before It Fails

Upgrading before failure means:

• Better energy efficiency and lower monthly bills

• Faster recovery times and more consistent hot water

• Peace of mind knowing your system is reliable

• Eligibility for warranties and energy rebates

We’ll help you choose the right model for your home—tank or tankless.
