Signs You Need a Water Heater Replacement
There are several clear signs homeowners in Sacramento should watch for when considering water heater replacement:
- Inconsistent or inadequate hot water supply – If your water heater struggles to keep up with your household's hot water demands or if you notice inconsistent temperatures while running water, it could indicate that the system is failing. Sediment buildup and wear and tear can reduce its capacity to heat efficiently, leaving you without a steady supply of hot water when you need it most.
- Water heater over 10-15 years old – Like any major appliance, your water heater has a lifespan. Most models last between 10 to 15 years. If yours is approaching or surpassing that age, it may be time for a replacement, even if no issues are visible. Older units are more prone to breakdowns and are often less energy-efficient than newer models.
- Frequent breakdowns or costly repairs – Water heaters that require frequent repairs or ongoing maintenance can quickly become more expensive to fix than replace them entirely. Investing in a new unit could save you time and money if you’ve already made several repairs or the costs are adding up.
- Rusty or discolored water – When your water looks rusty or discolored, it’s usually a sign that your water heater’s tank is corroding. Corrosion could lead to leaks or a complete failure of the system. If your water consistently looks or smells unpleasant, addressing it before it affects your plumbing is essential.
- Unusual noises from the tank – If you hear banging, popping, or rumbling sounds from your water heater, it’s likely due to mineral buildup inside the tank. These noises indicate that the heater is struggling to heat water effectively and may be on its last legs.
- Rising energy bills – An increase in your energy bills without a change in your household’s usage can point to an inefficient water heater. As water heaters age, they lose energy efficiency, causing them to work harder and consume more power. Replacing an old unit with a newer, more energy-efficient model can help lower your utility costs.
