Is It Time to Replace Your Old Water Heater? Here’s How to Know

Most homeowners don’t think about their water heater until it fails, leaving them with cold showers and costly repairs. Knowing when to replace your water heater can save you time, money, and frustration. Prospect makes that decision easy with expert guidance and replacement services you can trust.

Recognizing the Warning Signs

If your system is over 10 years old, showing rust, making strange noises, or delivering inconsistent hot water, it’s time to consider an upgrade. These are early indicators of wear that can lead to leaks or full system failure.

The Cost of Waiting Too Long

Delaying replacement often leads to emergency breakdowns or water damage. Older units lose efficiency, meaning they use more energy for less performance. By upgrading early, you avoid unexpected expenses and gain improved reliability.

The Power of Modern Efficiency

Newer water heaters are engineered with advanced insulation, smarter controls, and higher efficiency ratings. These improvements not only provide better comfort but also lower energy bills — a win for both your wallet and the planet.
