Do You Need a New Water Heater?
If you’re unsure whether it’s time for a new water heater or just a repair, here are common red flags to look for:
- No hot water or inconsistent temperatures
- Water looks rusty or smells metallic
- Popping, banging, or rumbling noises from the tank
- Water pooling around the base of your unit
- Hot water runs out too fast
- Unit is 10+ years old and becoming unreliable
These symptoms can point to sediment buildup, corroded tanks, failing heating elements, or safety valve issues. Some can be repaired, but often the most cost-effective, long-term solution is a full replacement.
