Bath water heater maintenance or repair for almost everything from washing dishes to doing laundry and bathing or showering.

The age of the water heater

The age of your water heater is a good indicator that it needs to be replaced. The average life expectancy for a gas water heater ranges from 8 to 12 years, electric hot water lasts from 10 to 15 years and tankless systems have a life span of 25 years. The serial number on the tank should indicate the month and year it was built. If you bought the house from someone else and essentially inherited it, you might want to consider calling your local plumber to have a water heater replaced. They can help you decide which water heater is the best choice for your home's needs, and which would be much cheaper and energy efficient than what you already have.

Hot Discolored Water

It is also advisable to consider a replacement if the hot water is discolored, especially when you turn it on for the first time. It is advisable to buy a new hot water heater if the hot water runs out more frequently than you remember. If you notice rust anywhere around the heater then it is a good indication that you have a leak somewhere and you should get it fixed. Look around the fittings on the tank and inspect it for a pile of rust, which could indicate damage.

Replacing The Heater

Replacement may also be necessary if your hot water tank doesn't meet your needs. The tank should have an estimated capacity on it to indicate the amount of hot water it supplies during its peak demand. You want one that's big enough to meet your family's needs.

Increase In Bills

Another indicator is if there is an unexpected increase in energy bills due to inefficiency. If you see a spike in your water bill every month, contact your local plumber for a home consultation so they can help you reduce costs and energy consumption.

There is no hot water

The most obvious signs include the lack of hot water completely or if the area surrounding the hot water tank is wet. Either way, you will need to contact your local plumber immediately to check your water heater for the main ones.

Don't let an ugly water heater sit unattended. The cost savings over time and the lack of frustration make the investment worthwhile with Bath Plumber.

Water hammer Water hammer is a dull sound that results from the sudden pressurisation of the water line caused by the rapid closing of a tap or other water valve.

Shut off the water supply to your house and drain the water from the pipes by opening a low tap, such as an outside tap or a tub.
