Water Heater Replacement in Raeford, NC
Signs You May Need to Replace Your Water Heater
The average tank water heater has a lifespan of 8-15 years, with most homeowners finding that their water heater needs to be replaced within the 10-12 year timeframe. The following symptoms may be signs that you need to replace your water heater:
- The water heater is leaking. When a water heater reaches the end of its lifespan, it may start leaking near the base.
- You hear banging or rumbling noises when in use. Over time, the water heater tank can build up sediment. Eventually, the sendiment will harden into clumps that may move around and bang or rumble when in use.
- The hot water output is diminishing. As water heaters age, they become less effective at heating. They also have a reducing water capacity due to the build up of sediment in the tank.
- Discoloration or rust in hot water. If you're noticing a discoloration or rust in your hot water, it may be a sign that the inside of the water heater tank has corroded and needs to be replaced.
- Your water heater is over 10-years-old. Once a water heater reaches the end of its lifespan, it may be more cost effective to replace the entire unit than to continue to make repairs so close to the end of the lifespan.
