Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair or Replacement

A malfunctioning water heater can disrupt your daily routine.

Watch for these signs:

• Inconsistent Water Temperature: Fluctuating hot water indicates potential thermostat or heating element issues.

• Strange Noises: Rumbling or popping sounds signal sediment buildup.

• Leaks: Even minor leaks can worsen over time, leading to water damage.

• Old Age: Most water heaters last 8–12 years. If yours is older, consider a replacement.

  
  

  Regular maintenance helps extend its lifespan, but don’t hesitate to call a professional if you notice these warning signs.
