How to Know if Your Water Heater Is Going Bad
You probably don’t think much about your water heater – until you go to take a nice, hot shower that turns into a terrible, cold shower! And while your boiler or furnace provides you with warmth only part of the year, your water heater works hard for you every single day.
So, when do you need a new water heater? Look for these signs:
- Insufficient or inconsistent hot water
- Strange noises
- Visible leaks
- Corrosion on the tank or pipes
- Rusty or brown water
- Metallic taste or smell in the water
- Your water heater is over 10 years old
- You’ve called for frequent repairs
If any of the above signs indicate that a new water heater is in your future, we can help! We specialize in high-efficiency oil-fired equipment from top manufacturers. Choose from either a tankless or standard tank-style water heater. Each has its advantages; let us help you find the model that’s right for your home and budget.
The last thing you need is to run out of hot water in the shower or washing machine or while you’re doing the dishes! Call Southside Fuel at (804) 231-5798 for your FREE, no-obligation, in-home water heater consultation and estimate, or contact us.
