Water Heaters

We’ll always try to provide a repair first, but nothing lasts forever! A few signs you may need a new water heater include:

• Discolored Water: If your hot water has a brown tint to it, this may indicate that your water heater could be rusting. Not only is dark water unsightly, but this could also indicate that your heater is about to spring a leak! 
• Limited Hot Water: If you take relatively short showers, but still notice that the hot water continuously runs out before you’re done, it could be time to replace your water heater.
• Leaking: Metal will expand as it heats up, and if your water heater is on the older or weaker side, it may be vulnerable to fractures. Leaks waste water and can also damage your property!
• Strange Noises: Over time, sediment will inevitably settle at the bottom of your tank, and will harden as it continuously heats up and cools down. This could lead to rumbling noises or a lack of hot water. 

Ideally, you should have your hot water heater flushed of sediment at least once a year. If the sediment is allowed to build up, you could deal with premature failure. We’ll help you get on a maintenance schedule if you would like this highly beneficial upkeep.
