When Is It Time To Install A New Hot Water Heater?

Are you unsure whether it's time to replace your hot water heater? Fear not, because the team at GRH Plumbing can assist you with a consultation and assessment to help you make an informed decision. We will evaluate the condition and efficiency of your current hot water heater and recommend the best course of action to meet your specific needs and budget. However, there are some tell-tale signs that can help you determine whether it's time to consider a replacement.

Age of Your Hot Water Heater

The typical lifespan of a hot water heater is around 10-15 years, after which it may start to experience problems such as leaks, corrosion, or a decrease in efficiency. If your hot water heater is nearing the end of its lifespan, it may be more cost-effective in the long run to replace it with a new, more efficient model.

Consistent Hot Water Issues

If you notice that your hot water supply is inconsistent, such as hot water running out quickly or not at all, this may be a sign that your hot water heater is struggling to keep up with demand. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including a malfunctioning heating element or a buildup of sediment in the tank.

Rust & Corrosion

Over time, hot water heaters can develop rust and corrosion. If you notice rust on the outside of your hot water heater or if your hot water starts to look brown or discoloured, this could be a sign of rust and corrosion inside the tank. Rust and corrosion can cause leaks and other issues, so it's important to have your hot water heater inspected by a professional.

Strange Noises

If your hot water heater is making unusual noises, such as banging or popping sounds, this could be a sign that it's time for a replacement. Strange noises could indicate that there is a buildup of sediment or minerals inside the tank, which can cause damage to the hot water heater if left unchecked.

How To Prepare For Your Hot Water Heater Replacement?

Replacing a hot water heater can be a significant investment, so it's essential to take every step possible to ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible. A significant part of this is preparing adequately for the replacement process, and there are a number of steps that you can take to make sure you benefit from the best solution.

Turn off the Power and Water Supply: Before the technician arrives, make sure to turn off the power supply to the hot water heater and shut off the water supply valve. This will help prevent any accidents and make it easier for the technician to remove the old unit.

Discuss the Installation Process with the Technician: Before the installation begins, discuss the installation process with the technician. Ask any questions you have about the installation process, such as how long it will take, if there will be any disruptions to your daily routine, and what the cost will be. This will help you understand what to expect and ensure that there are no surprises.

Clear the Area Around the Hot Water Heater: Clear any objects or debris from around the hot water heater to give the technician enough space to work. If the hot water heater is in a small or cramped space, you may need to move some furniture or belongings to ensure that the technician can work comfortably and safely.

Plan for Disposal of the Old Unit: Your technician will remove the old hot water heater, but you will need to plan for its disposal. Some municipalities have specific requirements for the disposal of hot water heaters, so be sure to check with your local government. Alternatively, your technician may be able to dispose of the old unit for you, for an additional fee.

Have You Considered Upgrading to a More Energy-Efficient Model?: Replacing your hot water heater can be an excellent opportunity to upgrade to a more energy-efficient model. Energy-efficient models can help you save money on your utility bills and reduce your carbon footprint. Speak to your technician about the best options available to you.

Be Prepared for Potential Adjustments: Keep in mind that a new hot water heater may require adjustments to the plumbing or electrical connections. Discuss any potential adjustments with the technician during the planning stage to ensure everything is properly accounted for.
