How to Know When It’s Time to Replace Your Water Heater
Water heaters do not last forever, and knowing when to replace yours can prevent unexpected breakdowns. Most traditional water heaters last between 8 and 12 years, depending on usage and maintenance.
Rusty or discolored water is often a sign that the tank is deteriorating from the inside. Strange noises coming from the unit may indicate sediment buildup that reduces efficiency and damages internal components.
Rising energy bills can also signal that a water heater is no longer operating efficiently. As systems age, they must work harder to produce hot water, increasing operating costs.
