Not sure if your current water heater is on its last legs? Recognizing the signs early can save you from inconvenient breakdowns and unexpected cold showers. Here are some key indicators that it may be time for a new water heater:

• Inconsistent Water Temperature – If your water frequently shifts from hot to cold, your heater may be struggling to keep up.
• Age of the Unit – Most traditional water heaters last 10–15 years. If yours is approaching this age or older, consider replacing it with a more efficient model.
• Rising Energy Bills – As water heaters age, they become less efficient, causing higher energy costs. A new unit can help reduce these expenses.
• Rusty or Discolored Water – Rusty or cloudy water from your taps could indicate corrosion inside the tank, signaling the need for a replacement.
• Strange Noises – Rumbling or banging sounds are often due to sediment buildup, which can lead to wear and tear on the unit.
• Frequent Repairs – If you find yourself calling for repairs frequently, it may be more cost-effective to invest in a new, reliable system.
