Warning Signs

Signs You Might Need Water Heater Maintenance

Some water heater issues are easy to spot, while others need a closer look. Watch for these key signs.

!

Inconsistent Water Temperature

Hot water that swings between warm and cold or runs out too soon can point to sediment buildup or a failing thermostat.

!

Strange Noises From the Tank

Rumbling, popping or banging usually means sediment has hardened in the tank, making your unit work harder and less efficiently.

!

Discolored or Rusty Water

Rusty or brown-tinted hot water can mean the anode rod is deteriorating. Replacing it during maintenance helps prevent tank corrosion.

!

Higher Energy Bills

A water heater that struggles uses more energy. A professional tune-up can restore performance and lower your bills.
