Water heaters are an important part of our lives, especially in winter. We depend on its proper functioning for hot water when taking a hot shower, cooking, bathing, and cleaning. However, most people are unaware of how much they depend on this product.

How would you know if it’s time for you to get a replacement? The last thing you want to happen is to have a major incident that causes you to go without hot water for a long period. Here are some signs that indicate it’s time to replace the water heater.

Strange Smell Make Showers Hell

When we shower or wash clothes, we can’t smell the water as water itself doesn’t have any taste or smell. But in some cases, when we go for a shower, there is this pungent smell coming from tabs, and you realize real quick that the water is causing all those smells. It happens when there are a lot of mineral deposits in the water heater, and it starts spreading bacteria in the tanks causing infections and illnesses.

Continuous Repairs: You Need To Care

Often this happens; our water heater demands repair when it’s time for winter. The most common problem that occurs is water leak detection. We call the plumber immediately to fix the problem as the leakage causes rust around the water heater, which damages its body. This could happen once or twice, but if this problem continues, then it’s probably time you should think of installing a new water heater.

Thermostat Issues; Not A Good Sign

Sometimes we experience hot water issues, especially when doing the dishes or taking a bath. There is an inadequate amount of hot water during a bath, or even at times, there is no hot water. The most common thing we all do is to set the thermostat again and again. But the problem is not with the thermostat but with the mineral deposits that have blocked the pipes.
