Warning Signs You Need a Water Heater Replacement
The great thing about your water heater is it won’t be shy when it needs repairs. After you call us, we can let you know if it needs replacing or if the repair will enough. If the repair costs more than it would replace, though, we will suggest you go ahead and pay for the water heater replacement. It may seem like a significant investment at first, but you will be glad you had us install a new water heater as you take showers, do dishes, mop the floor, and more with consistent hot water at your command. Below are some of the warning signs you should look for and signals you should give the professional plumbers at Hicks Plumbing Services a call:
- Age: Once your water heater turns five, it’s time to start considering a replacement. Although most last ten years, if you haven’t been maintaining the appliance correctly, it can begin to deteriorate earlier than expected.
- Rusty Water: If you see rust in your water, it may be because your water heater is rusting on the inside, especially if it only comes from a hot water source. This type of sediment can be hazardous to you and your family’s health. Rust also leads to holes in the appliance
- Noise: Noises are never a good sign. This appliance should run relatively quietly. Sounds coming from your water heater indicate the hardened sediment built up over time. Hearing these types of noises also leads to leaks in the system.
- Not Enough Hot Water: The main sign something is wrong with your water heater is not enough of hot water. If you are noticing your showers getting shorter and shorter due to the lack of hot water, then it’s time to get it checked out by Hicks Plumbing Services.
- Leaking Unit: If there is even a slight crack in your water heater, it will lead to leaks. When the metal is heated, it expands, causing even the smallest fracture to cause a leak. If you notice water on the floor surrounding your heater, be sure to check the pipes and fittings surrounding it as well.
