Is your water heater in need of replacing? Falso Service Experts is here with a couple signals to look for when deciding whether it’s time to purchase a new water heating system.
Age
If your water heater has annual maintenance, you can expect it to last around a decade, depending on the number of people living in your home. By the time your water heater reaches 10 years, it’s probably time to seriously think about replacement, especially before a leak causes any damage.
Rusty Water
If the water from your water heater (hot side pipes) is coming out rusty, it could be an indicator that your water heater is rusting on the inside. This could create a leak, not to mention impure water. Ask an expert plumber to have them see if your water heater system is getting ready to breakdown.
Weird Noises
Rumbling or knocking sounds coming from your water heater can be a sign that deposit has built up on the bottom of the tank. This means your water heating system will be less efficient and will demand more gas or electricity to heat your water, creating higher water heating bills. It also means that the excess time spent heating your water could cause more damage on your tank, which could cause cracks or leaks.
Water
If you notice water around your water heater tank, you might have a leak. Ask an expert plumber to come out and examine your equipment and they can give you a quote on a new water heater if necessary.
