Signs You Need To Replace Your Hot Water Tank

It’s likely that you’ll always take action after noticing that your hot water tank is no longer providing you with hot water. This unfortunate scenario isn’t the only indicator of water tank problems, though. There are several warning signs that suggest your hot water tank is on its last legs and may need to be replaced.

Keep an eye out for rusty water. If the water from your taps has a rusty color, it could indicate that your hot water tank is corroding from the inside. This corrosion can compromise the structural integrity of the tank and eventually lead to leaks.

Look out for loud noises, as well. Loud popping or rumbling sounds coming from your water heater are often caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. Over time, this can harden and make your heater less efficient or damage the tank.

What’s the Difference Between Tankless Water Heaters and Hot Water Tanks?

The main difference between tankless water heaters and traditional hot water tanks lies in how they heat and store water. Hot water tanks store a large amount of preheated water, keeping it ready for use at all times. When the stored water is used up, the tank needs to refill and reheat, which can take time. These systems are bulkier and take up more space due to the large tank.

On the other hand, tankless water heaters heat water on demand, providing a continuous supply of hot water without the need for storage. They are more energy-efficient since they only heat water when it’s needed, saving on energy costs. Plus, their compact size makes them ideal for your home if you have limited space.

How Big Should Your Traditional Water Heater Be?

If you’ve yet to purchase your new water heater and want to make the right decision before seeking out our installation services, you should consider a few factors. Firstly, the size of your traditional water heater depends on the number of people in your household and your hot water usage. In general, a 40- to 50-gallon tank is sufficient for an average household of 2 to 3 people.

For every additional person in the home, we recommend that you increase the tank size by about 10 gallons to make sure that everyone has enough hot water for daily activities like showers, laundry, and dishwashing.

If you’re considering a tankless water heater instead, the capacity is measured by flow rate (calculated in gallons per minute) rather than storage capacity.

Where Should You Install Your Hot Water Tank?

For traditional water heaters with tanks, space is a primary concern. For this reason, we’ll typically install these units in large closets, basements, garages, or utility rooms. There are other considerations that we’ll make during the placement and installation process too, though. If you want to reduce heat loss through long pipes and boost overall water heater efficiency, we’ll aim to install the tank as close to the primary hot water outlets on the property.

Another important matter is whether your water heater is gas or electric. This is because gas heaters need adequate ventilation. In the interest of optimal ventilation, you might want to place the unit in an area like a garage or a basement. Electric hot water heaters offer more flexibility in placement since they don't require the same ventilation.

We recommend making sure that the hot water tank is also accessible. Having a tank with easy-to-reach valves and components makes repairs, inspections, and general maintenance work all the more straightforward in the years to come.

How Long Does Water Tank Installation Take?

Regardless of whether you have a gas or electric water heater, the installation process is quite similar. Draining your old water heater's tank typically takes between 45 and 60 minutes. After draining, we’ll disconnect and remove the unit. Once the old tank is out, positioning the new one usually takes about 30 minutes.
