What Are The Signs of a Failing Water Heater?

The cooler months are approaching, so homeowners should prepare their water heaters. There are several signs to look out for to see if a water heater system is failing. Homeowners should be aware of the different signs and know when the right time to contact a professional for maintenance is. This article will outline the different signs that appear when there is a failing water heater.

Water Heater Temperature Changes 

One of the most obvious signs that a water heater is failing is when its temperature is continuously fluctuating. To make sure that a system is failing, set the water to the desired temperature and see if the system's temperature fluctuates on its own. If the water feels too hot or cold without the owners putting it to that temperature, that could be a sign of a broken water heater. 

Another sign that a water heater is failing is when there isn't enough hot water. For instance, if a homeowner needs to wash the dishes and uses hot water, but it turns cold after using it for something else. This means that the water heater isn't operating properly and needs to be checked as soon as possible. 

Water Heater Leakleak into

A leak in a water heater can mean a serious issue for homeowners that needs to be addressed as soon as possible. If a homeowner notices dripping from their unit or pooling of water next to it, that's the obvious sign that they have a leak on their hands. One should address a leak as soon as possible because this could mean a serious internal issue within the unit. If this goes untreated for a long time, the unit's owner will have more issues. 

Water leaks can get bad enough that a unit can become too corroded, so the entire system needs to be replaced. Ensure the unit is properly assessed to ensure that it is taken care of. 

Water Heater Wear and Tear 

Like everything else, a water heater will not operate as well as it used to. Water heaters 10 years of age are worn out and require more frequent repairs than newer water heaters. Newer and more modern water heaters will run more smoothly. The newer units will also require less maintenance which means less hassle for the homeowner. 

Only a professional should assess the unit if a water heater shows signs of wear and tear. After it has been determined that the unit needs maintenance, homeowners should leave this to the professionals, so they don't cause any further damage to the unit.
