6 Signs On When To Replace Hot Water Heater
Hot water tanks last for years. But when they are on their last legs, there are symptoms you can look for to determine whether they need to be replaced. You’ll need cold water, less hot water, leaks, sludge or corrosion, unusual sound and an old tank.
1. Feel the water.
If you turn on hot water tap, and water is cold or if you expect to climb into a nice hot shower and are blind sighted by icy cold water, it’s probably time to replace your hot water tank.
2. See how long your supply of hot water lasts.
If you used to take much longer shower before the hot water ran out, there is probably a problem with the tank. You may need a new one.
3. Check the floor around your hot water tank for standing water.
- If there is puddle or pool of water around the base of the tank or stream of water running from the tank to the floor drain, there may be a major enough leak that you’ll need a replacement. If your hot water tank is older and you don’t regularly drain and refill it , draining may actually create irreparable leak.
4. Inspect the fittings and connections.
- If there is water, sludge or corrosion there is likely a leak, it may be time to get a new tank.
5. Listen to your hot water heater
- If it frequently makes clanking noises or you hear pops or other unusual sounds, there is probably a mechanical problem. You’ll need a replacement tank
6. Check the age of the hot water tank
- Most hot water tanks are warranted for 5-10 years. While many lasts for years beyond the warranty’s expiration, if you notice inadequacy in your tanks performance, your tank is beyond its warranty date, it’s probably time to get a new one.
Hope the above information has helped you in determining when to replace hot water heater.
