What is the Lifespan of a Water Heater?

A typical water heater lasts between 8 to 12 years, depending on usage, maintenance, and water quality. After 8 years, efficiency usually starts to decline, and repairs become more frequent. Once your water heater reaches 10 years or older, it’s a good idea to consider replacing it before issues like leaks arise.

To determine your water heater’s age, check the serial number on the manufacturer’s label. The first letter represents the month it was manufactured, while the following two numbers indicate the last digits of the production year. This will give you a clear idea of when your water heater was built and how much longer it may last.

Top Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair

You can rely on Ambient Edge to precisely assess your water heater unit and determine if it needs to be repaired. But how do you know when it’s time to call us in? Here is a helpful list of warning signs that your water heater needs maintenance or repair.

Age

Once your water heater reaches its 10th birthday, it could be due for replacement. After 8 years of running, water heaters start to decline in efficiency.

Low Amount of Hot Water

If your water heater isn’t providing enough hot water, it could be a sign of a malfunction or an inefficient system. Our experts can diagnose the issue and recommend the best solution to restore your hot water supply.

Poor Water Quality

Discolored, smelly, or cloudy water can indicate problems with your water heater’s tank or the water supply. If you notice any changes in water quality, it’s time to have your system inspected for potential repairs or cleaning.

Strange Operational Noises

Unusual sounds like popping, rumbling, or banging coming from your water heater often signal sediment buildup or other issues. These noises should be addressed quickly to prevent further damage to your unit.

System is Not Heating Water

When your water heater fails to heat your water, it leaves you without a vital resource. Our team will quickly identify the issue and determine whether a repair or replacement is necessary to restore your hot water.

Bad Odors

Foul smells from your hot water could be a sign of bacteria or sediment buildup inside the tank. A professional inspection can help identify the cause and eliminate unpleasant odors, ensuring safe, clean water.

Collection of Limescale in Water Tank

Limescale buildup in your water heater’s tank can reduce efficiency and performance. Regular maintenance can prevent this issue, and our team can remove existing limescale to keep your unit running smoothly.

Water Heater is Leaking

A leaking water heater can lead to significant damage if left unchecked. If you notice water pooling around the unit, it’s crucial to contact a professional immediately to fix the leak and prevent water damage.

Low Water Pressure

There may be a water leak in your home if water pressure randomly drops in your faucets or showerheads and doesn’t return to normal. If you experience low water pressure for multiple days, we recommend shutting off your water supply and contacting our water leak repair team. We will fully inspect your water systems and find the issue.

Our Expert Plumbers Can Install Gas or Electric Hot Water Heaters

At Ambient Edge, we specialize in installing both gas and electric water heaters, giving you the flexibility to choose the system that best suits your needs and preferences. While the installation processes differ for each type, our team’s commitment to precision and quality remains the same. To help you make an informed decision, we’ll guide you through the benefits of both options.
  • Gas Water Heaters Gas-powered water heaters use natural gas or propane to heat water, offering fast heating times and lower operating costs. However, they require a gas line hookup and are less efficient due to heat loss through the exhaust.
  • Electric Water Heaters Electric water heaters are powered by your home’s electrical system and can be either tank or tankless models. They offer easy installation and are highly efficient. While electric systems may have slightly higher operating costs compared to gas models, they tend to require less maintenance and don’t rely on gas lines. Whether you’re considering a tank or tankless electric water heater, we can help you find the best fit for your home’s needs.
