Common Reasons To Replace Your Water Heater

Most water heaters should be replaced after 10 years. However, there are also signs that your system is failing and should be replaced. These include:

• Leaks: If you see water around your tank or on the floor, you may have a leak due to years of constant expansion and contraction of the metal. If left unaddressed, these water heater leaks can lead to serious water damage in your home.
• Rust: Water constantly running through your pipes can eventually create rust. Though rust in your water isn’t dangerous for your health, it’s a sign that your system is no longer functioning properly.
• Cold water: If you run the hot tap for a long period of time and still don’t get any hot water, you may have a broken heating element. This can also be a sign that your tank is too small for your house size and your hot water demand.
• Strange noises: From rumbling to knocking, odd noises can indicate sediment buildup. This hard sediment can move around your tank and create serious wear and tear.

What’s the Difference Between Traditional & Tankless Water Heaters?

When it comes to selecting a new water heater, you’ll need to decide whether to purchase a traditional heater or a tankless model.

While a conventional water heater is cheaper, a tankless model offers many great benefits, including:

• Increased energy efficiency
• Lower operating costs
• Less space required for the unit
• Unlimited hot water on demand
• Longer life spans

How Do I Choose a New Water Heater?

The appropriate size largely depends on the number of people in your household and your peak hot water demand. The best way to determine this is to consider the time of day when you use the most hot water.

For many families, this is in the morning when people are showering and getting ready. This Energy Saver worksheet can help you determine the best water heater size for your needs.

Other considerations include:

• Length of warranty
• Anti-scale devices that reduce mineral scale
• Brass drain valves that are more durable than plastic
• Glass-lined tanks to reduce corrosion
