Seattle Water Heater Replacement & Installation

Not sure when to replace a water heater? Homeowners might consider a water heater replacement for any number of reasons. However, Seatown Electric Plumbing Heating and Air gets a lot of questions about the appropriate time to invest in a replacement. Of course, this answer varies depending on what kind of water heater you own, but most homeowners will consider a Seattle water heater service in the following cases: 

• Aging unit: Water heaters typically last around ten years. If your unit has surpassed this age, it may be time to look into a replacement. Old units often lose much of their efficiency and are more prone to malfunction. In most cases, purchasing a new water heater can save you money in the long run. For reliable and energy-efficient solutions, our Seattle tankless water heater installation services ensure you have access to hot water on demand.
  
  
• Lack of hot water: One of the most common water heater problems is the absence of warm water. You can try adjusting the thermostat on your unit, but if this doesn’t work, you may want to invest in installing a new water heater.
  
  
• Rust: Do you notice rust in your water heater tank? Even if you haven’t
  checked the unit, you might notice a rusty color or metallic taste in your water. These are both common signs of water heater failure.
  
  
• Leaks: A leaking tank or pooled water are signs of significant problems with your water heater. You may have breaks in your tank that could lead to flooding in your home. Your best bet is to call a plumber as soon as possible.
  
  
• Strange noises: Is your water heater making weird noises? If you begin hearing rumbling sounds or other odd noises from your tank, it could mean debris is building up in your water heater. While this sound seems little more than a nuisance, it can signal cracks or breaks in your tank.
