When to Replace Your Water Heater

Most traditional tank water heaters last between 8 and 12 years. If your system is older or showing signs of failure, replacing it before a full breakdown can help prevent water damage and inconvenience.

Common signs it may be time for replacement include:

  • Water leaking from the tank

  • Rust-colored hot water

  • Running out of hot water quickly

  • Frequent water heater repairs

  • Unusual rumbling or popping noises

  • Rising energy bills

We’ll inspect your system and explain whether replacement is the most practical option.
