How to Know When It’s Time for a Water Heater Replacement

We rely on hot water daily, but when our water heater starts failing, it can lead to frustration, rising costs, and potential water damage. Knowing when to replace our system can save us from expensive repairs.

1. Your Water Heater is Aging Out – Most traditional water heaters last 8–12 years, while tankless models can last up to 20 years. If your unit is reaching this lifespan, replacing it before failure ensures a smooth transition without unexpected breakdowns.

2. Inconsistent Hot Water Supply – Do you experience sudden bursts of cold water mid-shower? If your system struggles to maintain a steady temperature, sediment buildup or a failing heating element may be the cause. A new unit restores consistent performance.

3. Rusty or Cloudy Water – Internal corrosion could be the issue if your hot water looks rusty or has a metallic taste. Over time, this can lead to leaks or contamination, making replacement the safest option.

4. Unusual Noises from Your Water Heater – Popping, banging, or rumbling sounds suggest sediment accumulation inside your water heater. As the debris settles, it reduces efficiency and accelerates wear and tear. If flushing the tank doesn’t resolve the noise, replacement may be necessary.

5. Visible Leaks or Water Damage – A leaking water heater is a serious issue. Even small drips can escalate into significant water damage. If you see moisture around the unit, act fast and replace it before a total failure occurs.

6. Increased Energy Costs – If your utility bills keep climbing, your aging water heater could be the culprit. Older units become less efficient over time, using more energy to produce the same hot water. Upgrading to an energy-efficient model can reduce costs.

A failing water heater is inconvenient and can cause significant disruptions. If you notice these signs, contact Groff’s Heating, AC & Plumbing for professional water heater replacement in Lancaster County, PA, and enjoy reliable hot water again.

Misael Colon

Brand new house and on the first shower the shower basin filled up with water. Called Groff's and they sent Stan out. Stan couldn't have done a better job. He immediately identified a rag was left in the drain by the tile contractor. Rag removed and shower drained properly. Stan also identified a very low water pressure issue. He corrected the issue and now we have great water pressure. Groff's has my business.

No one wants to come home to saturated carpets, but alas I did. Groff's technician, James, not only got me fixed up the same day but did it MOST efficiently!

Thanks, James and Groff's for coming to my rescue!
