Seven Signs You Need a New Water Heater 

The last thing you want is for your water heater to crash unexpectedly, leaving you without hot water. To avoid premature or unexpected water heater failure, we urge you to become familiar with the warning signs that your system is in disrepair. By recognizing these warning signs early, you can plan for a timely replacement and avoid any inconvenience.

Signs you need to schedule a water heater replacement include:

  1. Old age: If your tank water heater is over 10 years old or your tankless water heater is over 15 years old, it may be time to consider a replacement.
  2. Inconsistent hot water: Frequent fluctuations in water temperature or a reduced supply of hot water can indicate that your heater is struggling to function efficiently.
  3. Discoloured or rusty water: Rusty or murky water coming from your taps could be a sign that your water heater's tank is corroding from the inside.
  4. Strange noises: Loud noises such as popping, rumbling, or banging are usually caused by sediment buildup in the tank, which can reduce efficiency and lead to internal damage.
  5. Leaks and moisture: Water pooling around the base of the heater or noticeable leaks from the tank indicate a significant issue that often warrants replacement.
  6. Decreased efficiency: A noticeable increase in your energy bills without a corresponding rise in hot water usage might mean your water heater is losing efficiency.
  7. Frequent repairs: If you frequently need repairs, it may be more cost-effective in the long run to invest in a new unit rather than continually fixing an old one.

Ready for a new water heater? Our team walks you through your options and helps you determine whether a tank or tankless water heater best suits your home and family. Then, we provide a seamless installation service to get your new system up and running as quickly as possible. 

How Long Do Water Heaters Last?

Tank water heaters typically last between eight and 12 years, while tankless water heaters can provide reliable service for up to 20 years. The longevity of these units depends on factors such as maintenance, water quality, and usage patterns. Proper care and regular maintenance are crucial for maximizing the lifespan and performance of both types of water heaters.

Here are some of our best maintenance tips for water heaters:

  • Regularly flush the tank to remove sediment buildup
  • Inspect for leaks 
  • Schedule repairs ASAP 
  • Schedule routine professional inspections 
  • Monitor the temperature settings (don’t exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit)

At Knight Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning , our team is here to help you take care of your water heater to avoid unnecessary damage, repairs, and failure. Give us a call today for professional maintenance and tune-up services! 

Do You Need a Permit to Replace a Hot Water Tank in Alberta?

Whether or not you need a permit in Alberta to install a water heater in your home will differ depending on the local building codes and regulations in your municipality. For example, in some spots of Alberta, a permit may be required for water heater replacements, mainly if it involves modifications to the electrical, gas, or plumbing systems, while in others, it won’t.

The best thing that you can do is ask for help from your neighbourhood HVAC company. It’s also crucial to remember that individuals shouldn’t install a hot water tank in their residences unless they’ve obtained the necessary training and expertise to guarantee an accurate and safe installation. Don’t risk damaging your home; leave the details to the professionals!
