When Is It Time to Replace Your Water Heater? 

While minor water heater issues can often be repaired, there are situations where a replacement is the better option. Knowing when to upgrade can save you from further damage or escalating costs. 

It may be time to replace your water heater if: 

• It’s over 10 years old. Traditional water heaters typically last around 8–12 years. If yours is nearing or past this range, a replacement may be a smarter investment. 
• Your energy costs have gone up. Old or inefficient water heaters can significantly increase energy bills. Upgrading to a modern, energy-efficient model can help you save in the long term. 
• You’ve needed frequent repairs. If you’ve had multiple repairs in a short period, replacing your unit may be more cost-effective than continuing to fix recurring issues. 
• Your hot water is rusty or discolored. Rusty water suggests tank corrosion, indicating that your water heater may be nearing the end of its lifespan. 
• Your tank is leaking. A leaking water heater tank often can’t be repaired, and immediate replacement is necessary to avoid property damage. 
• You never have enough hot water. If your unit struggles to meet your household’s hot water demands, it might be time to upgrade to a larger or tankless system.

Our team at Top G Plumbing is available to guide you through the decision-making process and help you choose the best solution for your specific needs. Financing options and warranties are also available to make the transition hassle-free.

How Can I Extend the Life of My Water Heater?

Regular maintenance is key to prolonging the life of your water heater. Top G Plumbing recommends:

• Flushing the tank annually to remove sediment
• Checking the pressure relief valve
• Inspecting the anode rod
• Scheduling professional inspections
  These simple steps can help your water heater run more efficiently and last longer

Why Is My Water Heater Making Popping or Rumbling Noises?

If you hear popping or rumbling sounds from your water heater, it’s likely due to sediment buildup inside the tank. As sediment collects at the bottom, it traps water underneath, causing it to overheat and make popping noises. This not only reduces efficiency but can also shorten the lifespan of your system. Top G Plumbing recommends having your water heater flushed annually to prevent this common issue and maintain peak performance.
