Preventative maintenance is key to prolonging the lifespan of your water heater and avoiding unexpected breakdowns. Fix-it Rite offers affordable maintenance plans that include regular inspections, cleaning, and tune-ups to keep your water heater running smoothly year-round.
Signs You Need to Fix Your Water Heater
Even if you haven’t noticed any major issues with your water heater, it’s important to stay vigilant for these signs that it may be time for maintenance:
- Age: The average lifespan of a water heater is 8-12 years. If yours is nearing or past this timeframe, it’s important to have it inspected regularly.
- Inconsistent water temperature: If you notice your hot water going from scalding to lukewarm, it could indicate an issue with your heater’s thermostat.
- High energy bills: A poorly maintained or aging water heater can lead to higher energy costs as it works harder to heat your home’s water supply.
Have Questions About Your Water Heater Problems?
Here are the most Frequently Asked Questions.
Can I Install My Water Heater Outside?
Yes, but only in certain situations. You can put a water heater outside if it’s an outdoor-rated unit designed to handle weather like rain, wind, and temperature changes. These units are made with tough materials and protective coverings to stand up to the elements. Just be sure to check local rules and talk to a pro to make sure it’s installed safely and meets all the requirements.
Why Does My Water Heater Keep Leaking?
If your water heater keeps leaking, there could be a few reasons. It might be a faulty pressure relief valve releasing water when it shouldn’t, or a loose or damaged drain valve letting water escape.
In more serious cases, the tank itself could be leaking because of corrosion or just old age. Ignoring these leaks can cause major water damage or even lead to the system breaking down completely. It’s a good idea to call a professional to check things out, figure out what’s wrong, and help you decide whether it needs a repair or a replacement.
When Should I Replace My Water Heater?
There are a few signs it might be time to replace your water heater. If it constantly needs repairs, struggles to heat water efficiently, or takes forever to deliver hot water, it’s probably not as reliable as it used to be. Water heaters that are over 10-15 years old are usually nearing the end of their lifespan. You should also watch for rust, corrosion, or persistent leaks—these are clear signs your unit is wearing out.
Upgrading to a newer, more efficient model can save energy and give you reliable hot water when you need it. It’s always a good idea to consult a professional to check the condition of your unit and help you through the replacement process.
