Not Sure When to Upgrade?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s common for homeowners to wait too long to upgrade their\nwater heater because they\u2019re not sure when to make the switch. Here are a few\ndefinitive warning signs that you need to upgrade the water heater in your home\nto a new system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1. Your Water Heater is Over the Age of 15<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your water heater is built to last, but it\u2019s not meant to last\nforever<\/em>. Water heaters typically last\naround 20 to 30 years. If you\u2019ve had your water heater for 15 years or more it\u2019s\na good idea to start looking into new systems on the market regardless of the\nstatus of your current water heater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can\u2019t remember exactly what year you purchased your water\nheater? Locate the manufacturer sticker near the top of your water heater and\nlook for the first two numbers in the series. These typically represent the\nyear.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. You\u2019re Constantly Caught in a Cold Shower<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Do you step into a hot shower but end up bathing yourself in freezing water after a few minutes? This is a sign that your water heater is well below capacity. Sediment build up over time can cause problems like this. Contact a professional from our team today to have them take a closer look at your system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Rumbling, Bubbling, or Gurgling Noises<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Does your water heater make a noise similar to the noise your stomach makes when you\u2019re hungry? This means that your water heater is in pretty bad shape. Water heaters accrue sediment in their tanks over time and as this sediment eventually hardens it can cause a rumbling noise to occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. Rusty Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If the water flowing throughout your home has taken on a\nweird tint it\u2019s time to call in a professional. Rusty water means that your\nsystem has a big issue going on behind the scenes. Rust is also a symptom that\ntypically comes before a leak. Contact our team before bigger problems occur!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5. Leaks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s probably time to upgrade your water heater. We\ncan point you in the directions of the best brands and accommodate the specific\nneeds of your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
