How to Know You Need a New Water Heater
Sometimes it’s obvious — other times, it sneaks up on you. Here are signs your current unit may need replacement:
Your water heater is more than 10–12 years old
You’ve had to repair it more than once in the last year
Rust or sediment is coming out with your hot water
It takes too long to heat water — or runs out too fast
The tank is leaking or showing signs of corrosion
You want to upgrade to a more energy-efficient system
We’ll always give you an honest recommendation — even if repair is still an option.
