Why Water Heaters Fail Sooner Than Expected

Most water heaters last for 10 years or more, but several factors cause them to fail early. While prompt water heater repair in Venice, FL, from Bullseye Home Services will minimize the chances of major problems occurring down the road, it pays to understand what affects the service life of your unit so you can take preventative measures.

Sediment Buildup

Whenever you heat water, mineral deposits separate and settle on the bottom of the tank. Sediment can accumulate over time, adding an unnecessary burden on your water heater and shortening its lifespan. Get professional water heater services and have your storage tank flushed at least once a year to prevent this problem. Also, have your anode rod replaced once it’s corroded.

Incorrect Water Heater Size

Not all water heaters are the same. If your unit is of the wrong size, it will work harder than it should to meet your hot water demands, and you might end up needing premature water heater replacement. A trusted plumber from Bullseye Home Services can assess your needs and help you determine the water heater size for your home.

Poor Installation

Even if you bought the best water heater out there, it will only perform at its best with flawless water heater installation. Otherwise, you will run into issues like leaks, improper water pressure, and eventually breakdown. Always work with a reputable plumbing company when installing a water heater, and avoid taking the DIY route.
