Sign a Water Heater Needs to be Replaced
Replacing a water heater can be a burdensome investment when the time comes. However, it is best to replace your current water heater before it breaks down entirely or continues to place strain on your home plumbing system. Signs to look out for to know if your water needs to be replaced include:
Extreme Fluctuates in Water Temperature.
If there is a major issue with your Northfield, OH home’s water heater, you will likely experience extreme fluctuations in your water temperature.
Frequent Repairs Required.
No matter if it’s a major or minor appliance in your home, if frequent repairs are required, we know that the unit’s lifespan is likely nearing its close. As your water heater ages and more frequent repairs are required, a replacement water heater should begin to be considered.
Poor Water Pressure.
In the event that you have poor water pressure throughout your home, that may be because of your water heater. Your water heater can be causing your home to have poor water pressure due to a blockage in the system that makes it difficult to repair.
Unexplained Increase in Energy Bills.
If your energy and water consumption habits remain unchanged and yet your monthly bills are increasing, you may have an issue in need of repair with your water heater causing an inefficiency. That inefficiency, if left unrepaired, will likely continue to drive up your monthly energy bills.
Unusual Sounds.
Some noise coming from a home water heater is to be expected. That said, any banging, grinding, or knocking sound coming from your home’s water heater may be a sign that a replacement is necessary.
