You’ve heard of horse and dog whisperers? No one’s suggesting that horses and dogs can whistle, mind you, but New Water Heater can. Hmm, maybe “whisper” isn’t quite accurate, but they still have a way of indicating they need attention or, rue the day, that it’s time to replace them.
If you notice any of the following symptoms, take heed!
- Rust colored water. This indicates internal tank damage and corrosion.
- Pools of water around the base. This occurs when internal corrosion is severe enough to have created one or more crack inside your tank.
- Your water doesn’t get very hot or you don’t get enough. Water heater efficiency decreases over time.
- Your water heater is 10 -12 years old. That’s their average lifespan, though many can and do last longer. Still, if yours is that old and it’s already shown signs of wear and tear, you might be better off replacing it now vs. waiting until you have no choice.
- Noisy operation. As water heaters age, sediment builds up on the bottom of their tanks. As the sediment is heated and reheated, you could notice banging or rumbling noises from your unit. You’ll also run out of hot water in less time.
Whatever is motivating you to consider replacing your water heater, Norhio Plumbing offers you several distinct options. These include heat pump, tankless, plus conventional electric and gas storage tank models.
