Warning Signs of a Bad Water Heater
How to Know When You Need Water Heater Replacement
As a homeowner, it is critical that you stay vigilant for signs that your water heater may be approaching its end.

Knowing how to spot symptoms of failure will ease the burden of stressful situations in the future. Find below five warning signs that indicate it is time for a replacement.
Plenty of red flags tell you that failure is on the horizon if you know where to look. Water heater replacement is a big step, but rest assured, Schuler Plumbing will guide you every step of the way.
How Long Should A Water Heater Last?
What You Can Expect Out of A Water Heater Before It Needs Replacing
The life expectancy of your water heater depends heavily on what type it is and how well it is maintained. Traditional tank models have an average span of 15 years, while tankless models last around 20. The biggest threat facing any water heater is sediment and mineral buildup. It can reduce its life span dramatically if not managed. Flushing twice a year ensures your unit lasts its complete term and operates efficiently throughout life.
There is an oft-forgotten maintenance task that you should regularly complete to aid your water heater in surpassing its expected lifespan: replacing the anode rod. This essential component attracts rust from the tank walls, so they do not corrode but, by default, become corroded quickly. Keeping your tank stalked with new anode rods means you’re doing everything possible to prevent water heater replacement.
Without proper care, your water heater will not be able to maintain efficiency and may become a costly drag. Let Schuler Plumbing help ensure your water heater reaches the finish line– with something left to give.
Sorting Through Different Types of Water Heaters, So You Don’t Have To
Finding a System That Fits Your Water Heater Replacement Needs Best
With so many water heaters on the market, finding one that fits your needs is daunting. However, with careful consideration and our help, we know you will make an excellent choice! Keep in mind that how much water and which fuel source you use will play a significant role in what model you need. Water heater replacement is a headache, but we promise to make this easy.
Traditional tank-model water heaters are used most commonly in the United States. They get their names from storing hot water in a tank for when you need it. This appliance is not likely to freeze when temperatures drop; however, once your reserve tank is empty, you must wait for it to refill before you can have more hot water.
Unlike their counterparts, tankless water heaters do not store water in reserves. Instead, they work more like hot air handlers, pushing cold water over heat exchangers that warm the water as it flows toward its destination. As a result, you do not have to worry about running out of hot water with tankless units; however, they can become overwhelmed if too many areas need hot water at once.
Heat pumps are the less common and newer option if you want to go more modern. These guys are the masters of efficiency, operating on as little as 40% of the energy traditional models use. They do this by pulling heat out of the air and using it to warm the water. Still, they, too, have their disadvantages. Heat pumps do not like extreme weather. They are less bothered by excessive heat but do not operate well in the cold and may freeze if left for too long.
Finally, condensing water heaters make great replacements for households that need a reserve capacity greater than 55 gallons. These units also operate more efficiently than others because they recycle and reuse old heat that other models would vent out in the exhaust.
