Signs your water heater needs repair or replacement include no hot water at all, less hot water than before, rusty or smelly water, water around the base, rumbling or popping noises, error codes (tankless), unit age over 10 years, or visible corrosion on the tank or fittings. Older tanks with major component failures are usually replaced rather than repaired.
Watch for these signs
- No hot water
- Less hot water than normal
- Rusty, brown, or smelly water
- Water around the base
- Rumbling or popping
- Tankless error codes
- Unit over 10 years old
- Visible corrosion or rust
Schedule via water heater repair, or compare against replacement.
