Signs Your Water Heater Is Going Bad
Here are some common signs to watch out for:
- Age: If your water heater is approaching or surpassing its expected lifespan of 8 to 12 years, it may be more prone to issues.
- Insufficient hot water: Decreased hot water supply or water not getting as hot as before can indicate a failing water heater.
- Strange noises: Unusual sounds like rumbling, popping, or banging may be a sign of sediment buildup in the tank.
- Leaks or puddles: Any water leakage, dampness, or corrosion around the water heater should be checked.
- Rusty water: Discolored or rusty water coming from hot water taps may indicate corrosion inside the tank.
- Foul odors: Foul-smelling hot water, like a rotten egg odor, can be a sign of bacterial growth or other issues.
- Increased energy bills: A deteriorating or malfunctioning water heater may consume more energy, leading to higher bills.

Get in TouchStandard and Tankless Water Heaters in Tuolumne County
Our company installs and services two basic types of water heaters – standard and tankless.
What Makes Standard Water Heaters Unique?
Standard water heaters: Storage tank or standard water heaters are the most common type of unit available. Their typical capacity is 30 to 60 gallons with 50-gallon units being the most common. The ideal capacity will depend on the size of your household and how much hot water you use.
Most standard water heaters use natural gas or electricity to heat water and keep a continuous supply on hand. Some storage tank water heaters use propane or fuel oil. The disadvantage is that you are paying fuel costs to have hot water, even when you don’t need it.
What Makes Tankless Water Heaters Unique?
Tankless water heaters: Consumers are gradually switching to tankless water heaters due to this unit’s energy efficiency and long-term cost savings. Our plumbers are certified in installation of Navien tankless water heaters, one of the leading brands on the market today.
On-demand or tankless water heaters do not store hot water in a tank. Using a heat exchange to rapidly bring the temperature up, they heat water as it passes through the unit, running on natural gas, electricity, or propane. These units mount on the wall, fitting into smaller spaces and saving floor space. In addition to providing hot water instantly on demand, tankless water heaters eliminate standby energy loss, which can reduce your fuel bills.
