While gas water heaters are made to last 8-12 years and electric even longer at 10-15, sometimes your water heater reaches the end of its life and you are going to require a hot water heater replacement.
Believe your water heater may be on its last legs? Consider the following:
• Age (if you aren’t sure, check the serial number)
• Rusty, discolored, or strange smelling water
• Unusual amounts of noise
• Leaking around your water heater
If your water heater is suffering from any or all of these symptoms, it’s time to call Smart Plumbing & Septic.
