SIGNS YOUR WATER HEATER NEEDS REPLACEMENT
LACK OF HOT WATER
If you observe a decrease in hot water production or run out of hot water more quickly, this could signify declining performance. Common causes include sediment buildup and a worn heating element.
RUSTY OR DISCOLORED WATER
The presence of brown or rusty faucet water when using hot water indicates potential corrosion within the water heater’s interior tank. Rusty water impacts water quality and suggests compromised tank integrity. Additionally, leaks evidenced by puddles or moisture around the heater base necessitate consideration for water heater replacement.INCREASED ENERGY COSTS
A sudden escalation in energy bills might result from an inefficient water heater. As water heaters age, their efficiency can decline, leading to higher energy consumption.
FREQUENT WATER TANK REPAIRS
If you find yourself frequently arranging for water heater repairs, replacing the unit might be more cost-effective. Continuous repairs can accumulate and may not offer a lasting solution.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
CAN I INSTALL A WATER HEATER MYSELF?
While self-installation is feasible, it’s advisable to engage a professional plumber. Water heaters involve intricate electrical and plumbing connections that demand specific expertise for safety and proper operation. Incorrect installation may lead to leaks, electrical hazards, or inadequate heating. Opting for a licensed plumber guarantees secure and compliant installation.
HOW LONG DOES IT USUALLY TAKE TO INSTALL A WATER HEATER?
Generally, a straightforward installation takes a few hours. Installation duration varies based on the heater type, installation complexity, and necessary adjustments to plumbing and electrical systems. A professional plumber can provide an accurate estimate based on your circumstances.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO INSTALL A WATER HEATER?
Installation costs vary, considering factors such as heater size, local labor costs, and additional materials needed. Obtaining quotes from different plumbers offers a clearer picture of the cost specific to your location and requirements.
WHERE ARE WATER HEATERS INSTALLED?
Water heaters are typically placed in utility areas like basements, garages, or utility closets. They’re positioned near water and energy sources (gas or electricity) for efficient functioning.
