Several warning signs may indicate that your water heater is on its last legs. Age is an important factor on its health; you can find its age by looking at the serial number on the manufacturer’s sticker near the uppermost part of the water heater. It is wise to consider replacement if you find that your water heater is more than a decade old, especially if you are also experiencing a lack of hot water, a decline in hot water quality, a leaky tank, or unusual sounds coming from your water heater. Give us a call if you identify any of these red flags to avoid the frustration of a complete water heater failure, before it’s too late!
