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

A reliable water heater is essential for daily comfort, from warm showers to clean laundry. But like any appliance, water heaters eventually wear out. Recognizing the warning signs early can save you from unexpected breakdowns and costly emergency repairs.


Signs You May Need a Replacement

  • Inconsistent Hot Water – Sudden temperature drops or limited supply.

  • Rusty Water – Discoloration could mean corrosion inside the tank.

  • Strange Noises – Rumbling or popping from sediment buildup.

  • Leaks Around the Tank – A clear indicator of serious damage.

  • System Age – Units over 10 years old may be near the end of their lifespan.
