Water Heater Installation in Escondido and North County

When the time comes to replace your water heater, moving fast is the key to spending less and avoiding further problems. Even if your water heater is still functioning, a poorly running water heater is inefficient and susceptible to complete failure or even leaks. It’s best to replace your water heater if it’s beyond ten years old, showing signs of corrosion or it’s leaking.

Water Leaking from Tank

If your water heater is leaking from the tank, chances are you need to have it replaced. This is the number one sign of a defective water heater, and in most cases, a water leak cannot be fixed.

Water Heater Won’t Light

If your water heater won’t light or won’t stay lit, there’s a good chance it’s time for a new one. This mainly applies to water heaters that are beyond ten years old or are in overall poor condition. There is a possibility that parts replacement could solve the problem, but its best to have a qualified plumber make that determination.

Not Heating Water Properly

If your water heater still functions but does not supply sufficient hot water, this may be a sign that the unit needs to be replaced. This happens for several reasons, some of which are: failing water heater components, excess amount of sediment inside the tank and internal water leaks that flood the combustion chamber.

Aged or Poor Condition

Even if your water heater’s still working, it may be wise to have it replaced if it’s beyond sten years old or if it’s showing signs of rust, limescale buildup or any other form of corrosion.

Discolored Water

If the water coming from your faucets is has a brown or yello discoloration, this is a sign your water heater needs to be replaced. Its best to have a plumber investigate the situation to determine if the problem is being caused by a corroding water heater tank.

Water Heater Makes Loud Noises

Water Heaters sometimes make loud “rumbling” noises when there’s a problem that requires attention. It is often a sign that the water heater is beginning to fail and may need replacement.

If you’re uncertain whether you need your water heater replaced, it’s best to call a qualified plumber to assess the situation. Sometimes water heater repair is an alternative to replacement, but not always.
