Signs That There Is An Issue With Your Water Heater
Your Water Heater is more than 10 years old
Just because your water heater is aging doesn’t necessarily mean it’s failing, but it does mean you’ll possibly have to get a new one momentarily. As the years go by, sediment accumulates up in your hot water heater, making it more difficult for it to add warmth to water. In the end, the sediment will eat away at the tank and cause the heating parts to fail. Corrosion can also cause water leaks, which might damage your Brandon home.
By upgrading your water heater, you’ll receive the most energy-efficient technology. Going from a regular tank water heater to a tankless water heater can save you an even bigger amount. For households that consume less than 41 gallons of water per day, a tankless water heater is typically 24–34% more efficient than a tank water heater, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. What’s even better is that tankless water heaters usually work for around 20 years, which is about twice the life span of a tank water heater.
Your Water Heater is Leaking
In some instances, leaks are just the result of loose connections, incorrect pressure, or a valve needing replacement. But they can also be a symptom that your water heater tank has corroded or cracked. Regardless, you’ll need professional assistance from Zaragoza Plumbing to figure out the trouble.
Water is Discolored
If your typically clear water unexpectedly looks cloudy or rusty, your water heater could be at fault. Cloudy water is a sign, that sediment has built up in the tank, while rusty water is a clue there’s rust in the tank or pipes. In either situation, Baswell Plumbing suggests having your water heater examined by one of our professional Novato plumbers.
There is not enough Hot Water
As sediment builds up in the tank and on heating elements, your hot water heater needs more energy to create warm water. Because of this, it will require longer for it to produce hot water, and hot water will be used up more quickly. Both are a clue that your water heater is due for replacement. To prevent sediment from collecting in your tank, Zaragoza Plumbing advises having one of our specialists flush it yearly.
Water Heater is making unusual noises
Like cloudy water, popping and rumbling sounds are a hint that sediment has accumulated in your tank. Sediment makes it more difficult for the water heater to heat water, causing the strange sounds. As time goes on, the extra work on your water heater can create cracks and leaks.
You constantly have to have your Water Heater repaired
Over its lifetime, your water heater could need small repairs, like valve replacement. But if you’re often calling Zaragoza Plumbing for assistance or a big part has failed, it’s time for water heater installation. It’s draining when your water heater is just about to stop working or has gone out. But that’s not the case when you contact Zaragoza Plumbing for water heater installation in Novato. From selecting the right solution for your home and budget to expertly hooking it up, we make the whole process easy.
How ofter should I flush my water heater tank?
Like any appliance in your home, your water heater needs regular attention in order to ensure it is operating correctly and extend its lifespan. Flushing your water heater’s tank once per year can help to remove sludge and sediment from the inside of your tank that can cause it to malfunction. Depending on the quality of the water in your area, more frequent flushes may be warranted.
