Signs

Signs It's Time to Replace Your Hot Water System

If your hot water system is showing any of these, a replacement is usually the better spend than another repair.

  • It's 10 or more years old

    Most tank systems are near the end of their life by then.

  • Water pooling under the tank

    A leaking tank can't be patched. It needs replacing.

  • Rusty or discoloured hot water

    Often a sign the inside of the tank is corroding.

  • Runs out faster than it used to

    The system may be failing or too small for your home.

  • Repairs keep adding up

    Fix after fix can cost more than a new unit.

  • You want a different system

    Switching between electric and gas, or upgrading.
