We\u2019ve compiled the biggest warning signs below.<\/p>\n<h3>Old Age<\/h3>\n<p>Your water heater is made to last anywhere from 8 to 10 years. If your water heater is in this age range (even if you\u2019re not experiencing any problems) it\u2019s a good time to start looking into your options for replacement. If your water heater is older than the age of 10 and you\u2019ve haven\u2019t been diligent about flushing the water heater every year, it\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll have to replace it soon. Be wise about this decision. Don\u2019t try to force your water heater to work past its prime.<\/p>\n<h3>Not Enough Hot Water<\/h3>\n<p>Does your shower run out of hot water each time you\u2019re in it? It\u2019s time to replace your water heater! A lack of hot water isn\u2019t something that you have to work around. Sediment builds up over time in hot water heaters which separates the heat source and takes up space in the system. Over time this means your hot water heater\u2019s capacity to provide your home with hot water dwindles.<\/p>\n<h3>Odd Noises<\/h3>\n<p>If there\u2019s sediment build up in your hot water heater, overtime this sediment hardens and takes up space in your water heater. This extra space makes it much harder for your water heater to heat your water supply and over time it causes leaking, cracking, or holes within your system.<\/p>\n<p>If you notice banging or rumbling noises in your water heater it could be a sign that this is happening.<\/p>\n<h3>Rusty Water<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019ve noticed that your hot water is rusty it\u2019s a sign that your water heater is rusting on the inside and could start to leak soon. This is a big sign that it\u2019s time to replace your water heater. If this is happening to your system, you should contact a professional from our team as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Leaks<\/h3>\n<p>If your water heater is old or leaks are common, it\u2019s time to replace. You need a professional to look at your system if you\u2019re experiencing problems to ensure that it\u2019s coming from the water heater itself and not another part of your system. If the leak originates from one of the fittings or connections, you\u2019ll still experience problems even with a new water heater.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">If you\u2019re looking for a new water heater, our team here at Residential Heating and Air Conditioning can help you replace your system.<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\">Contact us today to schedule an appointment<\/a>.<\/span><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your water heater can\u2019t last forever.
