How Do I Know If My Water Heater Is Failing?
You use your air conditioner in the summer. You use your boiler or furnace in the winter. But you use your water heater all year long!
That’s why it’s important to keep an eye on the condition of your water heater to avoid malfunctions or breakdowns. The last thing you need is to run out of hot water in the shower or washing machine or while you’re doing the dishes!
The average lifespan of a water heater is 10 to 15 years, and if your water heater is already 10 years or older, it may be time to consider replacing it before it fails.
Here are 9 signs that your water heater has seen better days:
1. Hot water shortage
2. Decreased or varying water temperature
3. Low water pressure
4. Water heater leaks (this necessitates an immediate fix or replacement)
5. Frequent repairs
6. Higher energy bills
7. Strange noises
8. Discolored or rusty water
9. Odd smelling water
If you’ve experienced any of the above and your current water heater is over a decade old, we suggest a water heater upgrade. We specialize in oil, gas, and electric models.
-
A new indirect water heater will provide virtually endless hot water, and by using the heat generated by your boiler to heat your water it consumes less energy and saves you money.
-
New standard, tank-style heaters are more cost-efficient and provide more gallons per hour than older models.
At Haab Energy, we’ll work with you to make your upgrade affordable. We offer budget-friendly financing for your water heater installation, and we’ll also make it our business to find manufacturer and regional rebates and tax credits, when available.
