Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Water Heater
It’s easy to take hot water for granted—until it’s gone. But your water heater will often give you warning signs before it fails. Common symptoms include:
- Inconsistent water temperature
- Hot water is running out quickly
- Rust-colored water or metallic smells
- Rumbling or popping sounds from the tank
- Leaks or pooling water near the base
- A unit that’s more than 10–12 years old
If you notice any of these or have other concerns, it’s probably time to replace your system before it fails completely, leaving you without hot water when you need it most.
Why Spring Is the Best Time to Upgrade
Spring is a season of fresh starts—and that applies to your home’s comfort systems, too. Replacing your water heater in the spring means you’ll be ready for increased usage in the warmer months (think extra laundry and higher demand if you have kids home for the summer or house guests). Plus, it’s easier to schedule installations now before the busy summer season kicks in.
Enjoy Better Efficiency and Lower Utility Bills
Modern water heaters are far more efficient than older models. Whether you choose a high-efficiency tank system or a tankless unit, you’ll enjoy faster recovery times, reduced standby heat loss, and lower monthly energy costs. Our experts can help you choose a system that matches your household needs while maximizing energy savings.
Tankless vs. Traditional: Which Is Right for You?
If you’re considering a switch, it’s worth exploring the benefits of tankless water heaters:
- Endless hot water on demand
- Compact design saves space
- Lower energy usage over time
- Longer average lifespan
Traditional storage tank heaters, on the other hand, offer lower upfront costs and simpler installation. Our team will explain the pros and cons of each so you can make an informed choice.
