6 Signs You Need to Replace Your Water Heater
Sometimes it’s tough to decide if your water heater needs a repair or if it’s time for a full replacement. Even the best units eventually wear out. Replacing your water heater before it fails completely can help you avoid breakdowns and prevent water damage.
In Richmond, many older homes still have original plumbing or outdated water heaters that struggle with daily demand. Central Kentucky's hard water may also shorten your unit's lifespan, making regular evaluation important. Spotting early warning signs lets you plan ahead and avoid sudden emergencies.
Here are common signs it’s time to install a new water heater:
- Your unit is 10+ years old
- Your water heater is making rumbling or popping sounds
- Your hot water is rusty or discolored
- You have paid for multiple water heater repairs in recent years
- Your water temperature is running cold or fluctuating often
- There is water pooling near your unit
If you experience a major water heater problem, we offer same-day and 24/7 emergency plumbing services for your peace of mind.
