How Do You Know When Water Heater Needs to Be Replaced?
- Your water heater is more than a decade old
- Your hot water has a rusty color to it
- Your hot water has a metallic taste to it
- Your water heater has sprung a leak
- Your water heater needs an extensive repair that will cost almost as much as replacing it
In many cases, a minor repair later in a water heater’s life is still a sign that a replacement may be a better option. As water heaters age, they begin to have more problems at more frequent intervals, creating the need for more frequent repairs. By replacing your water heater before things get out of hand, you can save yourself stress, headaches, and money by simply doing away with it and installing a new one before something truly goes wrong.
