When Should You Replace Your Hot Water Tank?
A typical tank-style water heater lasts between 8–12 years. But usage, water quality, maintenance, and installation quality all impact lifespan. Delaying replacement could result in major water damage, safety risks, or full system failure.
Signs You Need Hot Water Tank Replacement:
- No hot water, or inconsistent water temperature
- Water pooling near the base of the tank
- Rusty water from hot water taps
- Loud banging or rumbling noises during operation
- Leaks from the tank or pressure relief valve
- Foul odours or discoloured water
- Frequent pilot light failures (for gas units)
- System is 10+ years old, even if still working
- Outdated or unsafe venting, particularly in older homes
If your tank is showing any of these warning signs, call us for a free estimate and avoid unexpected breakdowns.
