5 Signs You Need a New Water Heater

If you’re seeing these warning signs, don’t wait for a leak to flood your basement. Call us! We’re here to help.
- Age. If your water heater is more than 10 years old, start researching replacement options now.
- Bills. Higher bills even when there have been no changes in your household probably mean your aging water heater is working harder — and less efficiently — to do its job.
- Rust. If the water is clear from the cold tap, but rusty from the hot tap, it’s a good indication that your tank is corroding. See rust on the outside of the tank? Time is running out.
- Water stains. Hard water will shorten your water heater’s lifespan. New or increased white stains on utensils and glassware indicates long-term mineral buildup in your tank.
- Noise. Growling and gurgling from a water heater are never good signs. They indicate sediment buildup due to poor maintenance.
