Ask for a New Water Heater This Holiday Season

Instead of another gift that gathers dust, why not invest in a holiday gift that adds value to the home? New water heaters make a perfect holiday gift for homeowners. The benefits of new water heater installation last long after the holiday season ends.

In this article, expert plumbers share why a new water heater is the hottest gift for homeowners this holiday season. Whether the water heater is outdated/broken or if the homeowner is simply interested in making their home more eco-friendly, a new water heater makes a practical gift for the holidays.

Warning Signs of a Broken Water Heater

The average water heater needs to be replaced every 10 years or so. New water heaters may last for even longer. As the water ages, it will need repairs more often. Keep an eye out for the following warning signs of a broken water heater.

Discolored hot water
Bad smelling hot water
Noisy water heater function
Leaky tank
Not enough hot water
Banging, clicking, or hissing

Water heaters that use a combustion system to heat the water can be dangerous if malfunctioning. Possible dangers of a malfunctioning water heater are burns from the high temperatures, slips and falls from leaks, electrocution, and house fires. Repairs and maintenance should be left up to a qualified water heater company.

Water Heater Replacement or Repair?

Over time the costs of constant water heater repair can add up to the price of a new water heater. It is normal for a water heater to need general repairs every once in a while, but if it starts to break down often, it means it is time for a water heater replacement.

Most water heaters use a valve system, and valves can wear out and need replacement. Keeping up with annual water heater maintenance can help catch problems such as worn-out valves early to prevent total system failure. Replacing old parts and cleaning the water heater can go a long way in preventing malfunctions.

Another preventable water heater problem is the build-up of sediment within the water tank. Our water supply contains a trace amount of healthy minerals. When the water is heated inside of the tank, it can cause some of these minerals to separate into sediments.

As the sediment builds up in the water tank, it can get to be too much, affecting the water pressure and heating elements within the tank. Cleaning out the water heater tank can help prevent sediment buildup from affecting the water tank function.
