How Do I Know If I Need A New Water Heater?

The age-old question of whether to repair or replace comes up often with water heaters. Here are a few ways you may be able to tell if it is time to replace your water heater instead of fix it:

• Age – Is your system over 10 years old and needs a repair? It may be worth it to replace instead of repair. Water heaters do not typically last more than about 8 – 12 years, so you don’t want to spend a lot of money on a system that may need to be replaced in the near future. On the other hand, if your system is only a few years old, it may be very worth it to repair and not replace. 
• Efficiency – Have you noticed your power bills going up lately? Water heaters count for about 10% of your home’s energy. If your system is not working properly it could be costing you more than it’s worth and it may be time to replace.
• Large Repair – There are certain things that a technician just cannot fix, like a crack in your tank, hardened sediment at the bottom of your unit or interior rusting. When these problems happen, it’s time to replace them.
