Signs You Need a New Water Heater in Your Norristown Home

A reliable hot water supply is essential for comfort and daily living, especially during Norristown's cold winters. Unfortunately, your water heater won't last forever, and recognizing the signs of an aging or failing unit is crucial for preventing a costly and messy emergency. Keeping an eye out for these key indicators can help you make a proactive decision to replace your water heater before it fails completely.

  • Lack of Hot Water: This is the most obvious sign that something is wrong. If you are running out of hot water much faster than usual, or if it's not getting hot at all, it can be a sign of a failing heating element, a broken thermostat, or a tank that is too small for your needs.
  • Rust-Colored Water: If the water coming out of your faucets has a rusty or brownish tint, it often means that the inside of your water heater tank is corroding. This is a serious sign that the unit is breaking down and could be on the verge of leaking or bursting.
  • Strange Noises: An older water heater can make a variety of odd noises, such as rumbling, popping, or banging. These sounds are typically caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank, which hardens and causes the heating elements to overheat. This can lead to a less efficient unit and eventual tank failure.
  • Leaks or Puddles Around the Unit: Any visible moisture around your water heater is a major red flag. It can indicate a small crack in the tank, a loose connection, or a failing pressure relief valve. Even a small leak can quickly escalate into a catastrophic flood.
  • Age of the Unit: Most traditional water heaters have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. If your unit is approaching or has exceeded this age range, it's wise to consider a replacement. An older unit is less energy-efficient and more prone to sudden failure.

If you notice any of these signs, it's best to call a professional to assess your water heater. A new, more efficient model can not only prevent an emergency but also save you money on your monthly utility bills in the long run. Don't hesitate to call the trusted service provider when it comes to water heater installation Norristown homeowners rely on.

Which Water Heater Is Best for You?

There are plenty of water heaters you can choose. Variations start with different sizes, purposes, fuel sources, costs, and efficiencies. The best way to make a selection ask a plumbing professional you trust who will tell you the truth about what you need. We will then match you with the right type, size, and efficiency for your budget!

Size Differences 
Most traditional residential water heaters' fuel sources are gas and electric, which are purchased for mid-sized homes of three to five people. While most use a 40 or 50-gallon tank, a larger tank increases with the size of the home and the number of people it needs to be able to service. Choosing your water heater size can be broken down into the following categories:

  • Common Models: 40-75 gallons, mostly residential
  • Large Models: 65-80 gallons, mostly residential
  • Largest Models: 100-120 gallon, residential or commercial

Differences in Fuel Source

Today, water heaters come in a variety of fuel sources, so you have more options to reduce their carbon footprint and cut monthly utility costs. Water heaters now come in forms that can be powered by either gas or electricity. If your home could accommodate a newer, more innovative water heater, your plumber can help you find the right size and efficiency, install your new system to perfection, and offer warranties equivalent to the best in the business.
