How can you tell if you're having water heater issues?
Here are 3 ways to tell if you are:
01. High Energy Bills
An inefficient water heater can lead to skyrocketing energy bills, especially if it’s older or poorly maintained.Consider upgrading to a more energy-efficient model, such as a tankless water heater. Regular maintenance, insulation, and lowering the thermostat can also reduce energy consumption and lower utility costs.
02. Rusty Smelly Water
If you notice rusty, discolored or foul smelling water coming from your hot water tap, it’s often caused by bacteria growth inside the tank, it could indicate corrosion inside the water heater, especially in systems set to low temps or unused for extended periods.Flush the water heater to remove sediment & corroded material. If the problem persists, consider replacing .
03. Not Enough Hot Water
If you find yourself in this predicament the first step is to check if the pilot is lit on gas water heaters or if the circuit breaker hasn't tripped on electric models faulty heating element or thermostat could be the culprit if everything seems normal. If this doesn't solve the problem, consider replacing as necessary.
