Is it Time for Your Water Heater Replacement?
Whether you’re showering or doing the laundry, having hot water running throughout your home is something homeowners take for granted until they experience a problem. Due to the demand for hot water from each member of your household your water heater is bound to be replaced at some point in time.
Many people who live in, or around Buffalo City wouldn’t consider a “Water Heater Installation” a do-it-yourself type of project. The potential for flooding and other problems when replacing an older water heater is high and has the potential of causing even larger problems.

The most common signs for replacement of Your Water Heater, Include:
- Your water heater is old – The average lifespan of a water heater is between eight to 12 years. You can find out your unit’s age by looking for the manufacturer’s sticker, where you will find a serial number that contains a date when the water heater was made. If the age of your unit falls in that range, it is time to replace it.
- Rust appears either in the water or on your water heater – If you notice rusty water coming from your unit, this could indicate that the inside of your water heater is rusting away, which could eventually result in a leak. Another indication of rust within your tank is rusty pipes or rust around the water inlet or pressure relief valve.
- Your water heater is making loud and strange noises – As your unit gets older, sediment will build up at the bottom of the tank and harden since it is constantly heated and reheated. The hardened sediment causes banging and rumbling sounds emanating from your tank. Sediment in your tank means more damage and less efficiency.
- Your water heater is leaking – Since the metal of your water heater is heated, it constantly expands and shrinks. As your unit gets older, cracks will begin to form—worsening each time your tank expands and shrinks—until water begins to leak out.
