Common Signs Your Water Heater Needs Replacement:

  • Age of the Unit – Most water heaters last 8–12 years. If your system is older, it may be less efficient and more prone to failure.

  • Rusty or Discolored Water – Rust in the tank can lead to brown or discolored water, which is a sign the unit may be corroding from the inside.

  • Leaking Tank – Persistent leaks often indicate internal tank failure, making replacement the safest option.

  • Inconsistent or Insufficient Hot Water – If your water heater struggles to maintain temperature or supply, it may be time for a new system.

  • Strange Noises – Rumbling, popping, or banging sounds are often caused by sediment buildup or failing components inside the tank.

  • Frequent Repairs – If you’re calling for repairs more often than usual, a replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run.
