Signs that your hot water tank needs to be replaced:

• Age: if your hot water tank is over 10 years old, it’s probably time that you consider replacing it with a brand new one for improved water to your home. If you take care of your hot water tank by maintaining it well (such as draining it once per year) there is a chance you can extend the average 10-year lifespan of your hot water heater. As your hot water tank ages, the efficiency of it decreases. Newer hot water tanks use improved technology, parts, and systems that make a noticeable difference by running efficiently and effectively.
• Your hot water is rusty/brown: this is a clear sign that your tank is deteriorating. Water can cause rust and corrosion in your hot water tank over time. The only way to solve this is to replace your current tank.
• Loud/noisy tank: a perfectly functioning tank runs quietly and should not cause any noticeable sounds such as rumbling or knocking. If your tank is making noise this could be caused by a mineral build up or faulty burners inside the tank, and is another sign that you should replace the tank immediately.

It’s always wise to stay ahead of problems by keeping your home’s hot water tank up-to-date. The benefits of a new hot water tank are many, but the efficiency of the tank is a key upside in addition to a lower gas bill each month. A new hot water tank will use less energy to operate, and will keep a consistent temperature for a longer period of time. No more complaining about the hot water dying after you or a family member just stepped into the shower!
