Ever wonder why?

Hey, folks! Your friendly neighborhood comfort bear here. From now on, I’ll be taking over as the primary source of blog information for Climate Control on this site. It may seem like a weird choice to have a bear blogging about climate control, but I can assure you that I’m very well qualified. If there’s one thing bears care about, after all, it’s staying comfortable in our environment.

Today, we’re going to be discussing ways that you can tell that your water heater needs replacing. I don’t mind taking ice cold showers, but I’m told that it’s a bit less refreshing for people without fur. So, let’s get right to it!

Hot water heaters put up with a lot of abuse throughout their years of operation. Hot water heaters last for years, they’re designed to have a long service life, actually. If you think about how many times a day, every day, you make use of hot water in your home, you’ll realize that your water heater works incredibly hard 24/7 and most homeowners do not think about it until it’s time for a hot water heater replacement.

Even if you take perfect care of your water heater needs, though, with consistent regular maintenance and prompt repairs, you know that eventually you will have to replace your current water heater with a new unit, whether that’s with an electric water heater, gas water heater, or even a tankless water heater. When it comes time to replace your old water heater, hiring a professional plumber to perform the water heater installation is always recommended, and some offer a warranty on their water heater installation. 

The following are a few signs that you should look for in your water heater, indicating that maybe it’s time to have a professional replace it for you.
