Norco Water Heater Replacement
Did you know that most water heaters will need to be replaced within ten years of their installation date? It’s true. In fact, some water heaters will need to be replaced even sooner than that. If your water heater is showing signs that it is too old to produce hot water then you need to contact a water heater replacement company.
A water heater replacement contractor can do an inspection if your standard tank or tankless water heater is not working properly. After assessing the condition of your water heater, they might suggest a tankless water heater replacement. A Norco water heater replacement company can also help with repairs and routine maintenance services, too.
5 Signs You Need Water Heater Replacement
There are times when it can be difficult to know when replacing your water heater is better than repairing it. In general, if the cost of a repair is more than half of the replacement cost of a new water heater, then it is time to replace your water heater. In addition to needing repairs, here are five signs that it’s time to replace your water heater.
Your Water Heater is Old
Your water heater might stop working because it is simply too old. Water heaters aren’t made to last forever. Gas water heaters usually only last for about six or eight years Electric water heaters might last a few more years than that. With routine maintenance, you can expect to get up to ten years from your electric water heater
Tankless water heaters are more durable and last longer than both gas and electric water heaters. You can expect to get about twenty years of good use out of your tankless water heater. If your water heater is reaching the end of its lifespan and is experiencing any other signs that it’s time for replacement then you should consider switching to a tankless water heater system.
Your Water Heater is Rusty
When rust appears on your water heater it is very likely that there is rust in your water heater. If you are unsure whether or not there is rust on your water heater, take a look at your inlet valve. Water heater inlet valves are located on the top of the water heater. It supplies the water to the heater. If there is rust on this valve then you are ready for a new water heater.
If you do not see rust on the water heater or the inlet valve, but you have rust-colored water then you should still consider calling your local plumber. Rust-colored water could mean that your water heater is rusted or that you have corroded pipes. Either way, you want to get that fixed as soon as possible.
Your Water Heater is Leaking
Leaks are usually not a good sign for water heaters. While some leaks can be fixed, there are microfractures that happen within your tank over time that cause leaks that cannot be repaired. If your water heater is leaking then a water heater replacement company needs to inspect the water heater to see why the tank is leaking. Chances are, you need a new water heater.
Your Water Heater is Noisy
Noisy water heaters signify old age. As your water heater ages, it can become louder and more noticeable. Part of the reason the noise develops over time is sediment buildup. Norco water heater service can help extend the life expectancy of your water heater by reducing the amount of sediment that is in your water heater’s tank by flushing your tank out. If the noise persists then you are ready for a new water heater.
Your Water Heater Doesn’t Heat
If your water heater isn’t heating water like it used to then you might need a water heater professional to replace or repair your water heating element. They will also be able to adjust the thermostat to ensure that it is set at the correct temperature, usually 120 degrees.
If however, your water heater isn’t producing enough water because the tank is too small to meet the demand or the demand for hot water in your home has significantly increased then you should consider upgrading your water heater.
