4 Signs it’s time to repair your water heater

Unheated water enters the plumbing in your home at a cool 50 degrees. That water temperature is fine for many things: household chores, washing your hands, watering the dog or the plants, etc. But could you imagine jumping in a 50-degree bath, or stepping under a stream of shower water at the same temperature? That wouldn’t be a nice way to start your day or wind down from a long one. 

Those cold water temps are exactly why you should be thankful for the water heater in your home which works tirelessly to provide water warmed to comfortable temps, and more conducive to other household chores like dishes and laundry. If you suspect that your hot water heater isn’t operating efficiently, it might be time to call the water heater repair pros in Stuart.  

Leaking or strange noises 

Water heaters typically live in a closet tucked away in the basement or some dark corner of your home. You don’t always look them over carefully, but you should make a point to. If upon inspection, you find any leaking or hear strange noises that the appliance doesn’t normally make, it’s probably time to call in water heater repair services in Stuart.  

Lack of hot water

If you’ve noticed a lack of hot water in your home recently, or that the hot water doesn’t last as long as it used to, that’s another sign that it’s time to call in the pros. As water heaters age they begin to run less efficiently. Less efficient heaters mean less hot water available for use throughout your home.  

Skyrocketing bills

Another sure-fire sign that it might be time for water heater repair or a new appliance, is a skyrocketing electric bill. Now in this scenario, you need to carefully eliminate any other factors that might have an impact on your bill like a period of cold temperatures or an extended period of time with visitors. If you fear that your water heater might be the cause of the increase, call in the pros to have the appliance checked out for good measure.  

It’s old

The average lifespan of a tank water heater is a short 8-12 years. Tankless water heater varieties can be expected to last a bit longer – more than 20 years. Depending on the type you have in your home, the age of the heater might be an important clue that it’s time to repair or replace the appliance.
