When to Get a Hot Water Heater Replacement
Home /
A hot water heater is very important for your home. It gives you the ability to draw hot water for washing dishes, clothes, and your body. A hot shower or a hot bath would be impossible to enjoy without one, unless you heat up large buckets of water and dump them into your tub! According to This Old House, most water heaters have a service life of about a dozen years. If yours is long in the tooth, here are some signs to look for that tell you when it is time for a hot water heater replacement.
Your Water Is Tepid
A good hot water heater will deliver hot water to the tap quickly. If the water takes longer to heat up, the water heater might be struggling to do its job. If the water never really gets hot and forces you to take a relatively cold shower, the water heater is not doing its job. If you are unsure of its age, the odds are that you need a hot water heater replacement to restore your home’s flow of hot water.
Your Water Tank Is Leaking
A water heater is a common source of internal flooding in homes. The water tank can become rusty or otherwise suffer damage over the years and eventually rupture. If you see any water collecting at the base of the water heater, it probably is leaking from the water tank or its connections. A hot water heater replacement is the best way to cure the problem.
Your Water Heater Requires Frequent Servicing
You might find yourself continually calling your local hot water heater service provider to maintain and repair your water heater. While it is normal to have it serviced once or twice a year, anything more frequent suggests it is reaching the end of its service life. The bills for maintaining it can add up quickly, which means you should look for a replacement.
Your Water Heater Is Old
Do you know how old your water heater is? If not and you have been living in your home for a decade or so, it probably is older than you realize. An old hot water heater that is not working as efficiently as it did when new will use more energy without delivering truly hot water. A hot water heater replacement could give you the hot water that you need and probably lower your utility costs too!

Highest Google Rated Backflow Provider
They make it easy. You schedule your test online. They take care of the rest and even send the results to the county. Very competitive/affordable price as well. I even write in the notes when I schedule my test that if it needs a repair that costs less than $100 to please repair on the spot. Over $100, call me. Only once (when I needed a repair) did I receive an invoice for more than the typical service fee — my leak was repaired and I didn't even have to worry about it. Very please with how easy they make things.
They are awesome! This year I hired Accurate, as I have past years, but then my neighborhood hired another company. The company hired by the neighbor completely botched it, but the county only looks at the last test result done. Accurate really had my back, talked to the county for me to make sure the bad company retested. Would definitely recommend Accurate Backflow!
Have had a great experience with Accurate. We have used them for 4-5yrs running. Very simple process for us email to schedule appointment and they turn in all the paperwork for you. We have never had any issues and it’s such an easy process to pay as soon as you get the email invoice, and it’s super reasonable.
Streamline, efficient and stress free. Thank you!
Tracy was incredible in answering all my questions, great listener, was able to coordinate a backflow and I saved money by signing up for three additional years. She even managed to have replacement handles installed (original ones rusted out).
Refreshing to have real customer service.
I have used Accurate Backflow for over 10 years. I have always had prompt efficient service. They make it so easy to schedule an appointment and to pay after the work is completed.
I have used Accurate Team for years for our annual back flow testing. They have made the process seamless from the initial reminder email, allowing easy scheduling, auto report submission and autopay. Reliable company, highly recommended.
Accurate Backflow Testing & Plumbing responded quickly to my request for testing. They came out within a few days. Did the testing put their stamp of approval on our water system coming into the home. We are very satisfied with their service would highly recommend them.
I have used Accurate Backflow Testing since I moved to Lakewood Ranch. Always timely, fair pricing, great communication. I have never been let down by them.
Easy online booking, quick response to booking request, testing done within a few days, completion/pass tag left on door, easy online payment. Will definitely use this company again!
