Signs You Need Water Heater Repair or Replacement

Your water heater can malfunction due to wear and tear, faulty parts, or sediment buildup. Below are signs indicating that your system needs to be repaired or replaced.

Lukewarm water: Your shower could produce lukewarm water due to various factors. Some common culprits include sediment buildup, a failing heating element, or a faulty thermostat.
Leaks: Leaks at the base of your water heater are a cause for alarm, and you should contact a professional immediately. The leak could indicate that your tank is deteriorating or a loose connection.
Strange noises: Knocking, rumbling, or banging noises from your water heater could indicate you need to repair or replace the water heater.
Rusty Water: You will know your tank is corroded when you see rusty water from your shower. Rust can contaminate your water and damage other plumbing fixtures.
Age of Water Heater: The age of your water heater is a significant factor in the repair or replacement. The typical lifespan of a water heater is between 8 -12 years. Therefore, it is wise to replace your system once it nears the end of its lifespan before it breaks down completely.

Should You Choose a Tank or Tankless Water Heater?

Traditional Tank Water Heaters

Traditional tank water heaters are economical upfront, so you will not have to invest as much while setting up the system. Additionally, the tank water heater offers a consistent hot water supply thanks to the water being stored there. However, the water tank has a few main downsides. First, the system requires space for the tank. Second, it is less energy-efficient than its tankless counterparts. Finally, once the water in the tank is gone, you have to wait until additional water can be heated until you have hot water again.

Tankless Water Heaters

As with every new technology, tankless water heaters have numerous advantages compared to traditional tank water heaters. First, the system is highly energy-efficient, requiring less power. This means lower utility bills. Secondly, you save on space since the system does not use a tank, unlike the traditional tank water heater. Finally, you have on-demand hot water. With the right system based on your water usage needs, you will never run out of hot water again. A tankless system's only real downside is its higher upfront cost. However, with time that cost can be saved in both convenience and within your utility bills.
