How to Tell When Your Water Heater Should be Replaced

1. There is no hot water at all, or it quickly turns cold

This could be a thermostat problem, a heating element issue, tank size, or something else. Contact a professional to troubleshoot.

2. The water heater is making loud noises

3. The water heater is leaking water.

3. Rust is building up on the unit.
