How Long Do Water Heaters Last?

On average, a traditional water heater lasts 8 to 12 years, and tankless water heaters can last up to 20 years. The life expectancy of a water heater depends on how well it has been maintained. Having a professional perform annual inspections can help ensure that a water heater lasts as long as possible.

Signs You Need Water Heater Repair

If your home or business water heater is struggling to fulfill the demand of your water needs, it may be time for water heater repair before looking into a replacement unit. Hot water should come easily and quickly when you turn on the tap. Whether you have a gas or electric powered water heater, we have the plumbing experience and training necessary to find what’s causing the issue and get it repaired quickly and correctly.

Signs of a Water Heater Issue Include:

Lack of Hot Water - When you notice hot water running out quickly, there's a good chance the heating elements of your water tank has stopped working and needs to be replaced or needs to be cleaned due to sediment build up.

Odd Noises - Loud bangs or "POP" sounds can indicate a broken dip tube and allowing cold and hot water to mix, causing the water to bubble and pop.

Leaks - If water leaks around your water heater are detected, it's important to have this addressed as soon as possible to avoid water damage to your home.

Increased Energy Bills - Older units that aren't receiving regular maintenance are working harder due to insufficient performance causing your energy bills to rise.

The Importance of Regular Water Heater Maintenance

It is essential for Reisterstown home owners to regularly maintain their water heaters to

  • Extend its lifespan
  • Keep water safe
  • Reduce energy consumption

To get the best results, water heaters should be inspected, cleaned, and serviced by a professional at least once a year. During water heater maintenance, a qualified technician will check the thermostat settings, check water pressure, inspect relief valves and water connections for signs of corrosion or leaks, and flush out sediment from the tank to optimize temperature control and water flow.

What Happens If You Don't Flush Your Water Heater?

Flushing your water heater is important. This process helps to increase efficiency and extend the life of your water heater. Flushing removes sediment build up from the water tank, which allows water to heat more quickly and efficiently to save you money on electricity or gas bills. Regularly flushing also prevents corrosion within the tank and maintains water quality.

Failing to flush out your water heater can lead to a whole world of problems. Buildup from minerals in water supply can cause water heaters to rust or corrode and become damaged. As water is repeatedly heated, corrosion accelerates and weakened parts of the water heater become fragile and prone to reduced water pressure, cracks and leaks that create an extreme hazard for homeowners. If neglected, these water heaters will fail to last as long as they should and expensive repairs and replacements may be necessary. Taking the time to flush out your water heater regularly is crucial in order to maintain the longevity, efficiency, and safety of the appliance.

Benefits of Upgrading Your Water Heater

One of the most used appliances in your home is the water heater. Whether you’re taking your morning shower or washing grease off dishes, you need a reliable supply of consistently hot water. Unfortunately, this appliance is also one that suffers from wear and tear, mainly because it’s in constant contact with water. This can deteriorate the metal in the tank and lead to leaks or rust buildup inside the tank and in your water.

On average, a water heater can last up to 10 years, contingent on the type of care it gets. Once it reaches the end of its lifespan, however, you could find yourself dealing with issues like water leaks, rising energy costs, and a system that struggles to provide enough hot water for your entire family.

With a water heater replacement, you can expect a few perks such as:

Lower energy costs

More consistent water temperatures

Increased hot water capacity

Added property value
