Water Heater Replacement

A reliable water heater is essential for comfort and convenience in your Wylie, Lavon, Josephine, or Farmersville, TX home. However, like any appliance, water heaters don’t last forever. If your water heater is showing signs of aging or malfunctioning, it may be time to consider a water heater replacement.

When is it Time to Replace Your Water Heater?

The average lifespan of a traditional tank water heater is about 8–12 years. If your water heater is approaching or exceeding this age, even with regular maintenance, it’s wise to start planning for a water heater replacement.

Here are some common signs that your water heater needs to be replaced:

Insufficient Hot Water

If you’re constantly running out of hot water, especially during peak usage times, it could be a sign that your water heater is no longer keeping up with your household’s demands.

Rusty or Discolored Water

Rusty or discolored water coming from your hot water faucets could indicate corrosion inside the tank, a serious issue that often warrants water heater replacement.

Strange Noises

Rumbling, popping, or banging sounds coming from your water heater are usually signs of sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. This can sometimes be flushed out. However, for older units, it may be more cost-effective to consider a water heater replacement.

Leaks

Any leaks, no matter how small, are a major red flag and should be addressed immediately. While a minor leak may be repairable, it often indicates that the tank is nearing the end of its lifespan, and a water heater replacement is imminent.

Make the Right Call

When choosing a new water heater, there are several factors to consider:

  • Fuel Type:The most common fuel types for water heaters are natural gas, propane, and electricity. Consider the availability and cost of these fuels in your area.
  • Tank vs. Tankless:Tank water heaters store a certain amount of hot water, while tankless water heaters heat water on demand. Tankless models are more energy-efficient but generally have a higher upfront cost.
  • Size:Choose a water heater with a capacity that can comfortably meet your household’s hot water needs. A professional plumber can help you determine the right size for your home.
  • Efficiency:Look for a water heater with a high Energy Factor (EF) rating. This indicates greater energy efficiency, which can lead to lower utility bills.
