Signs You Need to Replace Your Water Heater

A standard water heater lasts for around 15 to 20 years. Once your system hits the ten or 15-year mark, you might start to notice that its performance declines.

In order to avoid dealing with a completely broken-down water heater, we recommend becoming familiar with the signs that your system is on its way out the door. That way, you can go ahead and schedule a replacement before your entire family is left with no hot water.

You Might Need to Replace Your Water Heater if You Notice:

  • Leaks: Water heater leaks can leave you without an adequate hot water supply and with a ton of water damage to deal with.
  • Strange noises: Your system shouldn’t be making loud banging, screeching, or popping sounds when it is turned on.
  • Rusty water: If the water coming out of your faucets or showerhead is rusty, this could be a sign of some serious water heater tank deterioration. Bits of rust are breaking off your unit and traveling through your water supply.
  • Metallic-tasting water: If you’ve noticed that your water has a strange taste or a metallic odor, metal could be seeping into your water from your water heater tank.
  • High energy bills: Extremely high energy bills could be a sign that your system is really struggling to heat your water.
  • Not enough hot water: Oftentimes, as a family expands, they find that their water heater cannot meet their growing hot water demand. If you’ve noticed that you never seem to have enough hot water, you might need to upgrade your system.

Other common signs that something is seriously wrong with your water heater include frequently tripped circuit breakers, broken heating elements, and a pilot light that won’t stay lit.

If your system is experiencing any of the problems listed, reach out to our Phoenix water heater experts right away. We will carefully inspect your system, assess its condition, and determine if a replacement is necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it better to have a tank or tankless water heater?

Choosing between a tank and a tankless water heater depends on your specific needs. Tank water heaters store a large amount of hot water and are usually more affordable upfront, while tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand and can be more energy-efficient in the long run. Consider your household’s water usage and budget when making your decision.

How do I know if my water heater tank is bad?

Signs of a failing water heater tank include inconsistent water temperature, strange noises, rusty or discolored water, and leaks around the unit. If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to call a professional for an inspection.

What is usually the most common water heater problem?

One of the most common water heater problems is sediment buildup in the tank, which can reduce efficiency and cause the unit to overheat. Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank, can help prevent this issue.

Can I install a water heater myself?

While it’s possible to install a water heater yourself, it’s not recommended. Just like you wouldn’t install a furnace or air conditioning system by yourself, it’s best to leave the job to a licensed professional. Improper installation can lead to safety hazards and reduced efficiency. At Rite Way Heating, Cooling & Plumbing of Phoenix, we’re qualified to perform a wide range of plumbing services, including water heater installation.

How much hot water does a water heater hold?

The amount of hot water a water heater can hold depends on the type and size of the heater. Standard tank water heaters typically range from 30 to 80 gallons, with the most common sizes being 40 to 50 gallons, sufficient for an average household.
