What do I need to know about water heaters?
There are only two kinds of water heaters: hot water instantaneous and storage. Hot Water In-stantaneous (HW) water heaters deliver hot water right when you need it, sending a small amount of heated water through the pipes with a small electrical coil that heats up the water but doesn't boil it.
Where do I start?
First, you'll want to consider the age of your water heater. How old is it? Is it over 8-10 years old? If so, then your water heater is in need of replacement. Luckily, there are a few tell-tale signs that can help you determine if your water heater is on its way out. You should also note the usage patterns in your home. Are you a family of six or is it just you and your partner? You'll want to take these things into account because the more people you have in your home the more hot water you'll use. If your water heater isn't able to keep up with demand then it will need a replacement.
The old water heater was good for my needs. Why should I replace it now?
Your water heater won't be able to keep up with the demands of modern life. It works well when you're just the two of you but when you have four or five people in your home or a family of six, it won't be able to stay up with demand. The actual efficiency of your water heater is also going to decline as time goes on. We'll show you how to figure out what your heater's efficiency is and why it needs to be replaced.
How do I know if my heater is ready for replacement?
Every six or so years, your old tank will just hit its limit. This is when you'll need to replace it. The best way to find out if your water heater needs to be replaced is by calling us for a free in-home estimate. The only way we know what your old water heater can do is by having someone come into your home and take an inventory of your house. They'll take the temperature of the water, look for leaks, see if there's enough hot water in any particular part of your home and they'll give you an honest evaluation on what's happening with your system.
Are there any other signs my water heater is ready for replacement?
Probably. The best way to determine if your water heater needs to be replaced would be by hiring a professional to come into your home and take an inventory of the equipment. Have you ever noticed a rumbling sound when the water heats up? This is not normal and is usually caused by your heater losing efficiency. If you're hearing this sound then it's probably time to replace it because it means that things are quickly going downhill. You'll want to consider replacing it as soon as possible before more problems occur.
More signs that you need a new water heater include:
Water heater leaking or wearing out. You may notice a water leak like the one in the image above. This is not normal and will need a replacement soon. You can also notice this by having to replace some of your pipes. If they're breaking around the water heater then it could be time for a replacement!
High energy bills and usage rates. If your water heater is rumbling, then you're using more energy than usual. This happens mostly during the summer months when families are getting ready for a long school vacation or maybe your house is always super cold in the winter. So what's going on? There really isn't anything that you can do about it and if it's happening then you'll want to replace it right away before it gets worse.
