Knowing when your hot water heater may go out can help you prevent an emergency.
Some signs that your water heater may be going out include:
- Your Water Heater Makes Strange Noises. One of the most telling signs that a water heater is going out is when it begins to make strange noises. These noises can range from loud rumbling and cracking sounds to hissing and whistling. If these noises begin to increase in frequency and intensity, it is likely that the water heater is malfunctioning or displaying signs of wear and tear.
- Your Hot Water Takes a While to Get Hot. Additionally, if the water takes longer than usual to heat up or if the hot water supply begins to dwindle, this could be an indication that the heater is failing. Water leaking from the unit or around its base is also a tell-tale sign of impending failure.
- Your Hot Water is Discolored or Rusty. Furthermore, if the water itself becomes discolored or rusty, this is a clear signal that something is wrong with the device. As soon as one notices any of these issues with their water heater, they should consult an expert immediately in order to avoid further damage and additional expenses.
