Signs Your Water Heater Needs Replacing

Most people replace a heater the day it floods the basement. These are the signs it's coming.

It's over 10 years oldMost tanks last 8 to 12 years. Past that you're waiting for the day it goes.

Rusty or cloudy hot waterRust from the hot tap usually means the tank is going from the inside.

Water around the baseAny pooling at the bottom of the tank means replace, not repair.

Rumbling or poppingSediment baked on the bottom. It's working harder and costing you more.

Hot water runs out fastThe tank's undersized or the parts inside are on the way out.

Repair after repairTwo fixes in a year and you've paid for most of a new one anyway.

Pricing

What Sets The Price

There's no single price for a water heater. These are the four things that move it.

Tank or tanklessTankless costs more up front and can need gas and venting work, then runs cheaper.
What size you needA family of five needs more than a couple. Getting this right matters more than the brand.
What the job needsShut offs, expansion tank or venting changes if the old install was out of date.
Where it livesA basement or garage swap is quick. A crawlspace or tight closet takes longer.
