When to Replace Your Water Heater – Signs You Should not Ignore

The water heater is a highly used appliance. Its lifespan is usually between 8 and 12 years.

Problem Signs:

• Noise during operation: Loud popping means heavy limescale buildup.
• Rusty water: A sign of corrosion inside the tank.
• Frequent tripping: If the thermal overload trips repeatedly, the unit is unsafe.
• Puddle underneath: Any leak from the base is a critical signal.

Choosing a new water heater

When buying a new unit, pay attention to the energy class and coating type.
