Signs It Is Time to Replace The Water Heater

Your water heater doesn’t last forever. Here are clear signs it’s time for a replacement rather than another repair.

It’s Over 10 Years Old

Most tank water heaters have a lifespan of 8-12 years. If yours is approaching or past that mark, replacement is usually the more cost-effective choice even if it hasn’t broken down yet.

Rusty Water or a Rusty Tank

Rust inside your water heater is a sign the tank is corroding from the inside out. Once corrosion sets in, leaks are inevitable. Replacement is the only real solution.

Frequent Repairs

If you’re calling for water heater repairs more than once a year, the cost of those repairs will likely exceed the cost of a new unit within a couple of years.

Inconsistent or Insufficient Hot Water

If you’re running out of hot water faster than usual or the water never gets hot enough, your heating elements or tank capacity may be failing. Contact Air & Energy at 941-778-0773 for water heater replacement in Bradenton.
