It is not uncommon to experience extreme fluctuations in your water temperature when your water heater is failing. The only way to combat this is to have a certified plumber take a look at your tank but, understand that your system is most likely going to fail if it is displaying this symptom.
No matter if it’s a major or minor appliance, when frequent repairs are needed, the end is likely near! As your water heater ages and more frequent repairs are required, you may want to start shopping around for a new unit.
Poor, weak water pressure throughout your entire home is a classic sign of a failing water heater. Severe blockages in the system are likely to blame but unfortunately, are very difficult to repair. When you experience weak water pressure like this, it’s safe to assume that it’s finally time to replace your water heater.
If your energy and water consumption habits remain unchanged but your monthly utility bills are rapidly increasing, you may need a water heater replacement! Increased energy bills occur because of major inefficiencies somewhere in your home. That inefficiency, if left unrepaired, will likely continue to drive up your monthly energy bills. So, if you’re experiencing climbing utility bills alongside any of the other signs on this list, it’s more than likely that your water heater is the culprit.
While some noise from your water heater is to be expected, banging, grinding, or knocking sounds are not normal! Loud, unusual noises are a key sign that your water heater’s useful life is coming to an end soon.
The appropriate size of water heater for you will depend on your household’s hot water usage. For example, your family enjoying frequent summer showers might require a larger tank or a tankless water heater that provides an endless supply of hot water. You can rely on your Get Lit Electrical & Plumbing plumber to correctly size your new water heater.
Tankless water heaters are highly energy-efficient and provide hot water on demand, which is ideal during Hampton Roads & Northeastern, NC summers when hot water needs can fluctuate. However, if your family has high water demands, a traditional tank system may be a better fit.
Regular maintenance, timely repairs, and avoiding overuse can all help extend the life of your water heater. With increased summer water consumption, be mindful of your water usage and consider scheduling your annual professional tune-up by calling (757) 330-3401 now.
Many modern water heaters come with energy-efficient designs, including tankless models and models with improved insulation. These options can help lower your utility bills during the hot summer months when energy usage is likely already higher.
Yes, you can absolutely switch from a traditional tank to a tankless system or hybrid model! Which type of water heater system is right for you will depend on your preferences and water usage needs. Summer is a fantastic time to make the transition because our installation schedules are often far more flexible.
