Signs You Need Water Heater Repair or Replacement
It’s essential to recognize early warning signs that indicate your water heater may need repair or replacement:
- Inconsistent Hot Water: If your water isn’t staying hot or takes too long to reheat, this could mean your water heater needs maintenance or replacement.
- Strange Noises: Popping or rumbling sounds coming from the tank may signal sediment buildup, which can reduce efficiency.
- Leaking Water: Any visible leaks around the unit require immediate attention, as they could lead to significant water damage and system failure.
- Discolored or Rusty Water: Rust-colored water may indicate corrosion inside the tank, especially in older models.
- Rising Energy Bills: If you notice an unexplained increase in energy costs, your water heater may be running inefficiently and in need of service.
