What Are the Signs It's Time to Replace Your Water Heater?

Knowing when to replace your water heater can save you from expensive emergency replacement costs and give you scheduling flexibility.

Here are a few of the top signs that you should consider replacing your water heater.

• Older than 10-15 years: Most water heaters are designed to last around 8-12 years, with tankless models sometimes lasting 15-20 years. If your unit is nearing the end of its lifespan, it’s smart to schedule an appointment for a modern replacement.
• Inconsistent hot water: If you’re experiencing inconsistent hot water, it can be a tell that you need a replacement unit.
• Discolored water: Discolored or rusty looking water can signal that the inside of your water heater tank is corroding, and the sacrificial anode rod has degraded.
• Leaks: If your water heater is leaking from a rusted tank bottom, it means you need a new water heater installed.
• Strange noises: Unusual noises, such as popping, rumbling, or whistling, can be caused by sediment buildup, thermal expansion, or water pressure issues.
• Frequent repairs: If you’ve had to make more frequent and increasingly costly repairs, it may be worth investing in a new water heater rather than delaying the inevitable.

Types of Water Heaters We Install

G&G Heating & Air Conditioning’s licensed plumber are experts in multiple types of water heaters. We install traditional tank models, tankless units, and both gas and electric variants.

Traditional

Traditional water heaters generally use a 40- to 50-gallon insulated tank to heat and store hot water at a set temperature. When you use your hot water tap, the pre-heated water is drawn from the storage tank and replenished with cold water.

Tankless

Tankless water heaters heat water on demand as it flows through the wall unit. They provide endless hot water and take up much less space in a home. However, they come with a higher upfront investment and installation costs.

Gas

Some water heaters are powered by natural gas or liquid propane to heat your home’s water supply. Gas water heaters often have lower monthly costs than electric models and can produce heat quicker.

Electric

Electric water heaters use electricity to warm water for your home. They typically pass an electrical current through resistive heating elements or utilize heat pump technology.

• Reliable hot water supply: Get reliable hot water when you need it with a new water heater.

Water Heater Maintenance Tips

Routine maintenance is a critical part of keeping your water heater in good condition. Here’s what you should prioritize:

• Flush tank: For traditional tank units, an annual tank flush is recommended to remove sediment buildup from minerals in the water, especially in areas with hard water.
• Regular maintenance: You should schedule an annual inspection with a licensed plumber to ensure there aren’t any hidden issues that need to be addressed.
• Test components: During a water heater maintenance visit, a plumber can also test components, such as the T&P, anode rod, or expansion tank if applicable.
