Most people don’t give much thought to their water heater until it fails. However, since you enjoy hot showers and baths, and like the convenience of washing your clothes and dishes in warm water, it’s important to know a little something about how your water heater functions and what signs of distress you need to watch out for.
Here are the most common signs to look out for that can indicate your unit is in need of repair or replacement:
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.

Water heaters that are more than ten years old that have started to show signs of problems may not be able to be repaired. In fact, the nature of the problem may make repairs impossible, or it might simply be more cost-effective to replace the water heater instead. Some water heaters can last up to 15 years, but that’s only if they’ve been appropriately and regularly maintained.
If you’re not sure how old your water heater is, simply look at the last four digits of the serial number. Those numbers will generally indicate the month and year of manufacturing. You can use this as a general guide to assume it was installed within a year of its original date of manufacture. If you’re still not sure, you can always look up the serial number on the manufacturer’s website. Alternatively, give them a call – you’ll often find a phone number somewhere on the unit.
