Water heater is a key to the smooth operation of your home because without it, there are no warm showers, clean dishes or freshly washed laundry. But it can be tricky to know when it is time to replace your water heater. These three things may indicate when it is time for a new water heater.
THE AGE OF YOUR WATER HEATER
Every water heater is stamped with a manufacture date on it that helps you know when your water heater was made. It is recommended that water heaters be replaced every 10 years in order to avoid the damage that a leaky or broken water heater can cause.
THE NOISE LEVEL
All water heaters make a little noise as the heating elements inside warm up the water in the tank. However, if your water heater really raises a racket, there may be an issue with the heating element or with sediment forming inside the tank, both of which may be warnings of eventual failure.
THE PERFORMANCE
Rusty water, metallic tasting water, standing water by the water heater or a complete lack of hot water altogether may mean that your water heater is broken or on its way to failure.
Paying attention to your water heater and replacing it before it fails completely can help prevent possible damage to your home. To learn more about the signs that you need a new water heater, contact Vines Plumbing at (843) 268-2926.
