A faulty water heater can lead to high bills, slow showers, and even dangerous leaks. Here’s how to spot the signs it’s time for a replacement — and why electric heat pump water heaters are the smartest upgrade in 2025.
1. Your Water Isn’t Getting Hot Enough
If your hot water runs out fast or takes forever to heat up, your unit might be on its last legs.
2. Rising Utility Bills
Older heaters lose efficiency over time. If your energy bill keeps climbing, your water heater could be the culprit.
3. Strange Noises
Popping or rumbling sounds? That’s sediment buildup — a sign of an aging tank struggling to work efficiently.
4. Rust or Leaks Around the Tank
Any signs of corrosion or moisture could lead to major water damage.
5. It’s Over 10 Years Old
Most water heaters last 8–12 years. If yours is older, consider a proactive replacement.
