3 Water Heater Problems to Watch For

Your water heater works quietly in the background every day. But when it starts failing, the signs are usually clear if you know what to look for.

1. Inconsistent Hot Water

If your shower runs cold sooner than it used to, your water heater may be failing or undersized for your household’s needs.

2. Discolored or Rusty Water

Rust-colored water from your hot tap often indicates corrosion inside the tank — a sign the unit may need replacement.

3. Unusual Noises

Popping or rumbling sounds are caused by sediment buildup. Annual flushing can help, but heavy buildup may mean it’s time for a new unit. Call Air & Energy at 941-778-0773.
