Do You Need A New Water Heater?
Traditional tank-style water heaters have an average lifespan of around ten years. While some may last longer, there will eventually come a time where you’re far better off simply replacing your heater with a new unit. When your system has broken beyond repair, replacing it can be a huge investment, and it’s one that you want to make sure you don’t make before you have to.
Signs You Need to Replace Your Water Heater:
- No Hot Water – Obviously it’s time to replace your water heater if it’s no longer producing hot water. If your household constantly runs out of hot water, your unit might not be big enough to meet demands. Consider upgrading so you can stay comfortable all year round.
- Rusty Water – As water heaters age, their parts corrode and rust, leaking that rust into the water. If you notice yellow water, your water heater might be the reason.
- Age of Water Heater – The average water heater lasts about 8 to 12 years. If you’ve had yours for longer, it might be time to replace. As the system ages, it’s going to need more repairs to maintain. Given the money spent in repairs, it might be better just to replace the water heater.
- Rumbling Noise – Do you hear a strange rumbling sound coming from your water heater? This might be because of sediment, that builds up at the bottom of the tank. If you don’t flush your water heater, this sediment can cause more than just strange sounds, it can cause significant damage to your water heater.
Does a Water Heater Have to be Installed by a Plumber?
A water heater is required to be installed by a licensed plumber or contractor. There are unique codes and specifications your water needs to be set to in order to pass the required inspection. There is a lot of risk in installing a water heater on your own, so it is best having a local water heater expert take a look and provide installation services or any necessary repairs.
How to Flush a Water Heater
- Turn off the power to the water heater.
- Shut off the cold-water supply valve attached to the water heater.
- Connect a garden hose to the drain valve near the tank's bottom.
- Open hot and cold valves on both sides of the tank until no more water flows from either side and all sediment have been flushed out.
- Close both valves when finished flushing, and disconnect your garden hose from the drain valve at the bottom of your tank.
- Turn back on your power source to your water heater and turn back on your cold-water supply valve at the top of your tank.

Don’t delay; a water heater emergency could cause drywall rot, ruin your flooring, and even cause structural damage to your home and damage to your personal property.

We Serve Tankless Water Heaters Too!
If you’re sick and tired of dealing with the headaches and short lifespan of a tank-style water heater, then why not ditch it all together? Hildebrant’s Plumbing Repair can also upgrade your home to a brand-new tankless water heater! As their name suggests, these heaters don’t have a storage tank that constantly needs to refill and reheat, but instead heats the water directly as it passes through.
Tankless water heaters enjoy a number of benefits, including being less prone to leaks and other breakdowns, being far more energy-efficient, having a lifespan that can sometimes double that of a tank system, and being able to provide you with a theoretically limitless supply of hot water! As long as the water line from the supply is open, these systems will heat the water and pump it wherever you need it in your home. No more waiting around for the tank to re-fill and heat up again when the family needs to get changed in the morning—a tankless system will continue to operate and provide you with as much hot water as you need.
