Even though we all expect the water to be warm when we turn the faucet on, most of us do not spend a lot of time thinking about our water heater. That is why most people do not realize that they have a water heater issue until it is too late. The life expectancy for the average water heater is about 10 years. Many water heaters come with a six-year warranty.

In many cases, water heater problems can be repaired and replacement is not necessary. A broken thermostat, a pilot light that has gone out and defective heating element are examples of some of the things that can be repaired. Keep in mind that many water heater problems are caused by a tripped electrical circuit breaker.

Regular maintenance can prevent problems and extend the life of your water heater. Flushing the water heater once a year is one of the things that you can do to maintain it. Water heaters have a tendency to break down when you least expect it. That is why it is very important for them to receive regular maintenance.

However, many people would benefit from having their water heater replaced. This is especially true if the water heater is over 10 years old. Even though getting a new water heater will require a costly upfront investment, new water heaters are designed to be more energy efficient. As a result of this, you will be able to cut your energy costs significantly.
