Water Heater Installation in West Palm Beach

Many homeowners have no idea that their water heaters might not be in top condition. When the average water heater’s lifespan is around 10 years, it’s more likely than you think that you need to replace your water heater.

To avoid the disruption to your everyday life and damage to your home that comes with an unexpected water heater failure, here are the top three indicators that signify it may be time to look into a new water heater installation in West Palm Beach:

As stated before, the average water heater will work for about 10 years before it reaches the end of its lifespan. If your home’s water heater was manufactured during or before 2005, it’s time for a replacement. To check the age of your water heater, simply look at its serial code. If its first two numbers are “05,” it was manufactured in 2005.

If you’ve noticed that rust-colored water is coming from your water heater, it might mean the water heater is rusting away on the inside — and in this case, it’s absolutely necessary to have a water heater installation performed, as the water heater might begin to leak soon. Water leaks can lead to water damage or mold growth in your home, so it’s best to avoid these problems by replacing your water heater sooner rather than later.

Throughout your water heater’s lifespan, a layer of sediment will begin to form at the bottom of its tank — and as the sediment is heated and reheated again and again, it will harden over time. When a hardened layer of sediment is heating up, it will cause rumbling or banging sounds to come from your water heater; this is a sign the heater is losing efficiency and coming close to the end of its lifespan.
