Water Tank
When to replace a hot water tank
There are many appliances and household items to adjust, repair and replace for the common homeowner, but how does one know when to go about replacing these items, and what is the real benefit?
When it comes to replacing large household appliances, one very important but less thought about appliance is the hot water tank. If forgotten about, the hot water tank may start to leak, and if left even longer, may cause serious water damage to ones basement and personal belongings.
Some signs that a homeowner may need to replace a hot water tank are major or minor leaks, leakage around the fittings, or corrosion on the heater itself or any of the plumbing connections. The average lifespan of a hot water tank is between 7-13 years, however newer models tend to not last as long, although there are more energy efficient.
Without obvious signs of leaks or corrosion, it may be difficult to know when to change a hot water tank. If a tank is older than 10 years it is definitely time to change it, as a newer model hot water tank is more energy efficient, and may save the homeowner money in the long run.
It is important to have the hot water tank serviced annually by a professional, who knows precisely when the tank needs to be changed. Also, the serviceman will flush out the tank every to remove sediment and promote energy efficiency. Having the tank serviced will help the homeowner save money, and may prevent one from having minor catastrophes later on.
