Your home’ s water heating system plays a crucial role in the comfort and cleanliness of your family. Just like any other appliance, this device can break down and requires occasional replacement to ensure that the taps have warm water when you want it. Below, there are three potential indications that your system is about to fail so you can bring in a professional to install a new one and avoid being without hot water.

You May Need a New Water Heating System if You Spot These 3 Signs

1. Age

Most water heaters will last around 10 to 15 years. If yours is getting near this age, consider opting for a new water heating system in the near future to avoid failure altogether and go straight to using a new, more efficient model.

2. Odd Sounds

This can indicate that they are cooking the sediment that builds up at the bottom of the tank over a long period of use. These noises are likely to occur when using your water heating system to run the dishwasher, take a shower or do laundry so listen up during these times if you’re concerned about your system.

3. Excessive Repairs

All water heaters require maintenance to keep them in top shape. However, along with regularly checking the pressure valve and flushing the tank, you shouldn’t have many repair costs. If your water heating system keeps breaking down and requiring repairs it may be a sign that your current setup is no longer working and you could benefit from purchasing a new one.
