When to Replace Your Water Heater

It’s important to look for signs that you need to replace your current water heater before something malfunctions. Otherwise, you may end up dealing with a costly water leak or cold showers.

You May Need to Get a New Water Heater If: 

  • Your water heater is more than 10 years old. Most gas and electric water heaters have a life cycle of 10 years. Even if your current water heater is running fine, you may want to start thinking about replacing it.
  • You run out of hot water quickly. This is the most obvious sign that your water heater should be replaced. As a water heater ages, it’s unable to efficiently heat and deliver hot water. This goes for both electric and gas hot water heaters.
  • Your water heater is making a banging noise. Over time, sediment collects in a water heater, which can cause cracking and popping noises as the sediment hardens. When this happens, the best solution is a water heater replacement.
  • Your water heater is leaking. Leaks can appear as aging seals and joints stretch and contract over the years. Valves can also degrade over time. These common issues can be caught and resolved with regular maintenance; however, you will eventually need to get a new water heater.

Commonly Asked Questions

What Are The Benefits Of Professional Installation?

Having a professional plumber handle your water heater installation in Austin offers many benefits. From a free estimate to our well-known 100% satisfaction guarantee, you’re in capable hands when you call Fox Service Company.

How Long Do Water Heaters Last?

The average lifespan of a traditional tank-style water heater is around 8 to 12 years, while tankless water heaters typically last 15 to 20 years or more. Proper maintenance and water quality can affect the lifespan. If your water heater is nearing its expected lifespan or showing signs of malfunction, consider having it inspected by a professional for repairs or replacement.

What Size Water Heater Do I Need?

The size of your water heater will really depend on your home’s hot water needs. Standard water heaters vary in how many gallons the tank can hold. To determine what capacity is best for you, you’ll need to look at how many people are in the home and how much hot water is typically used on a hourly and daily basis.

The Dangers of Incorrectly Sized Water Heaters

  • Installing a water heater that is too small could lead to your family running out of hot water too quickly or the system working on overdrive to deliver the hot water you need. This can lead to wear-and-tear on the unit.
  • Installing a water heater that is too large will decrease your energy efficiency, as a higher amount of hot water is being produced than your home requires. This can result in higher utility costs each month as well.

Along with finding the correct sized system, it’s imperative you have a professional handle the replacement. If not, you run the risk of your water heater being installed incorrectly, which could impact the efficiency of your new system.

    "The guys showed up on time. They were extremely professional."

    The guys showed up on time. They were extremely professional. Their estimate on how long it would take was pretty accurate. I was in video meetings during a lot of their work and they seemed to be extra careful to make less noise when I was on those calls because the people I met with said that they didn't notice them. Overall - great job!
