    Water Heater Installation FAQs

    When Should I Start Looking For A New Water Heater?

    There are countless reasons why you should replace your water heater. An inefficient water heater is not only a hassle, but it can also be a safety hazard too. Although rare, it is not impossible for water heaters to catch fire, leak flammable vapors, or explode. With poor maintenance and improper handling, water heaters can have detrimental effects. Additionally, older water heater systems are not built with the energy-saving features that newer models have.

    In most cases, a newer, energy-efficient model can be the economical and safe choice. Here are some of the most common signs that it is time to replace an old water heater:

    • You have to turn on the hot water in your shower and wait over three minutes for it to get hot.
    • Your water heater is over ten years old.
    • Your water heater has recurring problems and requires frequent repairs.
    • Your water heater emits an unpleasant odor.
    • Your water heater tank is showing exterior signs of rust or corrosion.
    • Your water heater is making popping or booming sounds.
