Most homeowners don’t spend much time thinking about their water heater. Instead, this is something they rely on, day after day, with hopes that it will never break.

Unfortunately, there are times when a water heater needs replaced. Adding to this, you don’t want to wait until disaster strikes to make a change.

Here are several signs that you need a new water heater:

1. It’s Old

If your water heater is 10 or more years old, it’s time to consider an immediate change. Sure, it may provide a few more years of service, but its life is coming to an end. It’s better to change it now than to wait for something bad to happen.

2. Water Around the Water Heater

Do you recognize a bit of moisture around the base of your water heater? If so, this could be the sign of a fracture or small leak. It may not be a big deal right now, but you can be rest assured that it will worsen with time.

3. Noise

Listen closely when your water heater is on. Do you hear banging sounds? How about rumblings? Both of these are signs that your water heater is just about at the end of the road.

Not only can these noises eventually lead to a leak, but they’re also associated with a heater that’s not working at peak efficiency.
