When to Replace Your Water Heater

It’s important to look for signs that you should replace your current water heater before something malfunctions. Otherwise, you may end up dealing with a costly water leak or cold showers. Many Raleigh homes have tank-style water heaters. These water heaters maintain and continuously heat a large amount of water. 

Here are four signs you may need hot water heater replacement:

  • Your water heater is more than a decade old. A majority gas and electric water heaters have a life cycle of 10 years. Even if your current water heater is working 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 gets older, it’s unable to efficiently heat and deliver hot water. This happens with both electric and gas hot water heaters.
  • Your water heater is producing a banging noise. Over time, sediment accumulates in a water heater, which can cause cracking and popping noises as the sediment solidifies. When this occurs, the best solution is a water heater replacement.
  • Your water heater is leaking. Leaks can appear as aging seals and joints expand and contract over the years. Valves might also break down over time. These common problems can be caught and fixed with repairs and routine maintenance; however, you will eventually need to get a new water heater.

Benefits of Tankless Water Heater Installation

If you're tired of running out of hot water or dealing with a bulky, inefficient water heater, it may be time to consider upgrading to a tankless water heater. Tankless water heaters provide on-demand hot water, eliminating the need for a large storage tank and ensuring you never run out of hot water again. Our Raleigh water heater experts can assess your current system and recommend the best tankless options to suit your home and budget.

  • Unlimited hot water. Tank water heaters are restricted by the size of their water tank. When the tank is refilling or reheating, you’ll have to wait for hot water. Tankless water heaters can sustain an unlimited stream of hot water.
  • Increased energy efficiency. Tankless water heaters can be up to 35% more energy efficient than traditional tank heaters. This is because they heat water on demand instead of storing it.
  • Compact size. Tankless water heaters don’t require a lot of space. They can be placed on the wall or under a sink.
  • Reduced risk of flooding. Tankless water heaters don’t store water, so they’re less vulnerable to a catastrophic leak like a tank water heater.
  • Endless hot water
  • Space-saving design
  • Reduced energy consumption
  • Longer system lifespan
  • Lower operating costs

Why Regular Water Heater Maintenance is Essential

Just like any other appliance in your home, your water heater requires regular maintenance to operate efficiently and effectively. Neglecting routine care can lead to unexpected breakdowns, decreased performance, and costly repairs. At Yellow Dot Heating & Air Conditioning, we recommend scheduling annual maintenance to ensure your water heater is running at its best.

Here are some key benefits of regular water heater maintenance:

  • Improved Efficiency: Regular checks can help identify issues that may be causing your water heater to work harder than necessary, leading to reduced energy consumption and lower utility bills.
  • Extended Lifespan: Routine maintenance can significantly extend the life of your water heater, saving you the expense of premature replacement.
  • Enhanced Safety: Regular inspections can help detect potential safety hazards, such as gas leaks or faulty wiring, ensuring a safe environment for your family.
  • Consistent Hot Water Supply: Maintenance helps prevent sediment buildup and other issues that can disrupt your hot water supply, ensuring you have reliable access to hot water when you need it.
  • Peace of Mind: Knowing that your water heater is well-maintained gives you confidence that it will perform reliably, reducing stress and worry about unexpected breakdowns.
