Water heaters typically last for more than a decade. However, by that time, you will probably notice problems with it already such as inconsistent heat, a noisy hot water tank, or high energy bills. Hot water heaters manufactured some 10 years ago are most likely not as efficient as the new ones today. As the years go by, they lose their efficiency, especially if they are not maintained properly.
If your hot water heater is more than 10 years old, it might be better to get a hot water tank replacement in Vancouver rather than have it repaired. Even if you have it repaired and they successfully fix it, some other parts might just break down due to natural wear and tear. It’s more cost-effective to just replace the entire unit.
You also need a hot water tank replacement in Vancouver if the tank is starting to corrode and you experience water damage all the time. Corrosion can thin out the materials and this can cause water to leak.
The good thing about replacing your water heater is that you can take advantage of new technologies. Rather than get a traditional hot water heater with a tank, you can opt for electric on-demand hot water systems instead. It doesn’t require a tank because it heats up water when you need it.
If you are not sure what to do, you can get the help of water heater experts from ProGas North Shore to inspect your existing unit first and determine if it’s still worth saving.
