Knowing when to replace your water heater is important. There are many signs to look for to determine if maintenance or replacement is your best option.

  • Repairs Keep Adding Up – Are you calling for repairs to your water heater more than twice a year? If so, start planning your water heater replacement, and avoid the hassle of an emergency replacement.

  • Water Heater is Over 10 Years Old – ENERGY STAR® recommends replacing your storage water heater after 10 years. If your unit is aging, be proactive and replace it before it fails.

    Water heater replacement may be costly upfront, but upgrading to an ENERGY STAR-certified, energy-efficient water heater can save you more money in long-term.
