When Should You Replace Your Water Heater? We rely on our water heaters and boilers for every shower and sink full of dirty dishes. But even top-of- the-line water heaters are not designed to last forever, so if you don't want your gas central heating services in Wargrave to be interrupted, it's best to replace units that are nearing the end of their useful lives. However, it's not always easy to predict gas central heating services failure, but there are signs you can watch for to determine when your system is nearing its end of life:- Age of the Water Heating System After years of use, a number of issues can arise with the water heating system's components. Components degrade, rust can form, and tanks can crack. Most tank heaters last about ten years on average. When anything gets suspicious, go for gas central heating services in Wargrave. Therefore, knowing the age of your water heater is essential for preventative replacement. If you don't know when yours was installed or if you just purchased your home, you can determine the installation date by examining the serial number label. Manufacturers put the month and year of production in the serial number, so you can use the website of the water heater maker to find the code for your model and figure out how old it is. Inadequate Hot Water Supply One of the first signs that your water heating system is failing is that the water from your showers and faucets will be noticeably cooler or will run out more quickly than usual. This could be due to a malfunctioning heating element, which can be diagnosed and repaired by a licenced plumber. However, it may also indicate that mineral sediment has coated and hardened the bottom of your tank, as well as the heating element. This usually happens around or after ten years, and it's a sign that your water heater is about to break down.
Regular maintenance of your water heating system, including inspection and replacement of the anode rod, will prevent tank corrosion. If the system has not been regularly maintained, corrosion of the tank will be visible in the form of rust-colored water coming from your faucets. You can confirm that the issue is with your water heater and not your pipe system by having a plumber flush your water heater tank, which is another routine maintenance task, and observing whether the water that is drained is rust-colored. If your water heater is corroded, you must replace it before a leak occurs. Even if none of the aforementioned symptoms are present, the water heating system may be failing if there is a constant, loud banging noise when it is heating. As sediment in the system settles and solidifies, it forces your water heating system to work harder, which can result in rapid tank expansion, for instance. It's time to replace your tank if you hear constant clanking noises coming from it.
