Signs You Need a New Water Heater
You don’t want to find out you need a new water heater right before you step in the shower or you have to clean a sink full of dishes. That’s why it’s important to look out for these signs that you might need to replace your water heater soon.
The Age of the Unit
Just like every other appliance in your home, the older your water heater gets, the more likely it is to break down. If you’re not sure how old your water heater is, you can check the manufacturer’s serial number sticker. For most units, the first two numbers of the serial number represent the year the water heater was manufactured. If your unit is older than 10 years, it might be time for a replacement.
Leaks
As metal heats, it expands. Any small cracks or fractures in your tank could cause a leak. However, when the metal begins to cool down, the leaking might stop. If you notice a pool of water under your water heater that seems to come and go, this could be the reason.
Strange Noises
As metal heats, it expands. Any small cracks or fractures in your tank could cause a leak. However, when the metal begins to cool down, the leaking might stop. If you notice a pool of water under your water heater that seems to come and go, this could be the reason.
Not Enough Hot Water
The most common sign that a water heater is about to fail is that you don’t get as much hot water as you used to. However, there are other reasons for not getting enough hot water. Sediment often accumulates in the bottom of the water heater, separating the water from the tank’s heating source. Sometimes water heaters simply need to be drained and cleaned instead of replaced.
Rusty Water
If you begin to notice rust in your hot water, it could mean your water heater is rusting on the inside and might start to leak soon. Additionally, you’ll want to look for rust or corrosion around the pressure relief valves, temperature gauge, and inlet and outlet connections, which could be a sign of a small leak already starting.
Water Heater Leaks
A few small drops or a little trickle from your water heater might seem like a minor inconvenience, but if you ignore the issue, it could turn into a significant problem. A water heater leak could be a sign of several issues. Possible causes of a water heater leak include the following:
- Loose hot and cold water inlet and outlet connections.
- A leaking drain valve.
- Broken temperature or pressure relief valves.
- Corrosion at the bottom of the tank.
