How to Know If You Need a Water Heater Repair or Replacement

Not all hot water issues mean it’s time for a new water heater—but it helps to know the signs.

Signs You May Just Need a Repair:

• Inconsistent water temperature
  

• Strange noises like popping or banging
  

• A small leak from the valve
  
  

Signs You May Need a Replacement:

• Your water heater is 10+ years old
  

• Rust-colored water from taps
  

• Frequent breakdowns
  

• Leaking from the tank itself
  
  

What You Can Do:

• Check the age of your unit (look at the label)
  

• Flush the tank yearly to remove sediment
  

• Call a pro to inspect before it fails completely
