When to Replace Your Water Heater

Because water heaters don’t come cheap, there are plenty of Ottawa home and business owners who will put off replacing their units until it is absolutely clear that it is beyond repair. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for these same people to continue spending their hard-earned money on temporary repairs until their water heater is unequivocally beyond repair.

Rather than waste your money on repairs that won’t provide a lasting solution, here are the signs you are better off replacing your water heater.

It’s over 10 years old. The average water heater’s life expectancy is approximately 10 years, though it can vary depending on the make and model. If you have been experiencing more and more problems with your water heater and it’s approaching or passed it’s tenth year of service, then browsing for a new one is a good idea since it’s only a matter of time before it stops working altogether.

Leaks around the base. Despite what you might have seen in online guides, leaks from your hot water tank are usually caused by an internal problem and are rarely repairable. Since a leaky water heater can cause all kinds of water damage to your home or business, you don’t want to risk trying to patch up the leak if it’s only going to comeback a few days later, bringing all kinds of mold with it.

Cold water. If your water isn’t as hot as it once was, or not hot at all, then something is clearly wrong. It might be the element or it could be the thermostat. Either way, it’s probably time for an upgrade if it can’t complete its intended purpose.
