Water Heater

The availability of warm running water is vital for everyday activities in many households. An average individual could use warm water up to 20 times a day, whether for showers, laundry, hand washing, or dish-cleaning. This puts pressure on the water heater due to the demand and multiple usages. Thus, you are bound to see that your water heater needs replacement after prolonged use.

Water heaters have a lifespan, regardless of the quality and durability features. Therefore, knowing the common problems with water heaters will keep hot water running in order. No one wants to get stuck in the winter without hot water.

There are different types of water heating systems: tank (traditional) and tankless water heaters. Traditional heaters pre-heat 30 to 50 gallons of water and keep it warm until it's used. The tank then refills to be reheated again for future use. Conversely, tankless water heaters use gas or electricity to heat water on-demand whenever you need it, rather than storing it. Tankless water heaters save on energy costs.

The following are signs that indicate that you may need a plumber or plumbing services to replace your water heater.

When Your Water Heater has Exceeded its Lifespan

When you use an old unit past its lifespan, your water heater tank will likely develop leaks formed because of rust. As a result, mold and mildew may begin to grow, leading to serious health hazards. Therefore, once you notice that your water heater is running pasts its lifespan, contact a plumber or plumbers in Fullerton California, for replacements.

Rusty Water

If your hot water is rusty, your water heater might be the culprit. It may be rusting from the inside, and it might start leaking soon. If the water looks muddy, dirty, or has a metallic taste, it's an indicator that you need a new water heater.

If the water heater isn't replaced soon, rusty water may stain your tubs, utensils, and laundry. Moreover, overexposure to iron may lead to serious health complication and some types of cancers. Thus, it is essential to contact a plumber or plumbers in Fullerton California, for replacements.

Water Heater Not Heating

If you notice that your shower keeps turning cold before you're done showering, it's an indication that you need to call a plumber or plumbing services for a water heater replacement. When the water heater is past its lifespan, sediments often build up, separating the water from the heat source. Moreover, you might incur high energy costs if replacements aren't done soon.

Water Heater Leaking

Water leaks primarily occur due to the water heater's expansion in the tank, particularly when it nears its lifespan. These expansions occur when the inner body of the tank is exposed to thousands of heating cycles. This indicates that you need to contact a plumber or plumbers in Fullerton California, for replacements. However, check for other sources of leaks before replacements.
