You probably don’t think much about your water heater – until you go to take a nice, hot shower that turns into a terrible, cold shower! And while your boiler or furnace provides you with warmth only part of the year, your water heater works hard for you every single day.

So, when do you need a new water heater? Look for these signs:

  • Insufficient or inconsistent hot water

  • Strange noises

  • Visible leaks

  • Corrosion on the tank or pipes

  • Rusty or brown water

  • Metallic taste or smell in the water

  • Your water heater is over 10 years old

  • You’ve called for frequent repairs
