Is It Time To Replace Old Your Water Heater?
Water Heater In Need Of Replacement
Knowing when it’s time to replace your old water heater can be tricky for homeowners. Plumbers everywhere recommended having your water heater inspected and serviced annually. The reason is is because water heater problems are not always visible to the untrained eye. Qualified water heater technicians can quickly spot potential failures in both tank and tankless water heaters.
Know What To Look For
When visually inspecting your water heater, be sure you know what to look for. Visible signs of rust, calcium build-up, rot and and mildew are warning signs, If you notice any of these signs, your water heater may need replaced. Slow leaks and drips are also problematic because they cause rust pipes, fittings, and valves. Problems like these can rust out your water heater’s pan and expansion tanks and lead to major water damage.
If any fittings, piping, pan or valves show any of these warning signs, it’s time to have your water heater inspected. Our licensed water heater techs can determine what type of repairs, if any, are needed. If you’re looking for a new, energy efficient water heater call you local experts at All Star Water Heaters Inc.
Slow or No Hot Water
A lack of warm water at your fixtures can be a sign that it is time to flush your water heater. Both tank and tankless model water heaters should be flushed regularly. Regular tank flushes prevent harmful build-up of calcium and sediment in the units. Build-up can cause slow reheating as well as excessive reheating leading to your water heater’s parts failing.
Flushing your water heater regularly will extend the life of your unit. When regularly maintained, it can save you hundreds of dollars on water heater replacement and repair costs.
