Signs You Need a Water Heater Replacement

Not sure if it’s time for a new water heater? Look for these common warning signs:

Age of the Unit

Most water heaters last 8–12 years. If yours is older, it’s likely nearing the end of its lifespan.

Frequent Repairs

If you’re calling for repairs more than once a year, replacement may be more cost‑effective.

Rusty Water or Corrosion

Discolored water often indicates internal tank rust, which can lead to leaks or complete failure.

Inconsistent Heating

If your water isn’t staying hot or fluctuates frequently, it’s a sign of declining efficiency.

Leaks Around the Tank

Leaks at the base of your water heater often mean structural failure — a strong indicator it’s time for a new unit.
