Reasons Why Water Heaters Break Down
As with any appliance, water heaters are prone to wear and tear over the years. If your water heater breaks down, it may be due to:
- Age
- Mineral and sediment buildup
- Loose parts
- Loose electrical connections
- A failing thermostat
A plumber should address all water heater failures as soon as possible to avoid extensive issues.
Water Heater Repair vs. Replacement
If your core water heater components fail, your appliance could be rendered irreparable. When your tank fails, you’ll need a replacement rather than a repair. Corrosive air can be just as destructive. Old age is another complicated problem to fix, so you can expect frequent, expensive breakdowns in your future. Too much internal pressure can quickly pass the point of no return. If you’ve noticed your water pressure has changed, it’s advisable to call a professional. If your appliance breaks down at the end of its service life, it rarely makes financial sense to repair it.

FAQ
When should I replace my water heater?
Water heaters have a life span of 12 to 15 years. Once you’ve reached the end of that period, it’s best to seek out a new water heater installation.
Why do I keep running out of hot water?
If your water heater runs out of hot water earlier than it once did, your thermostat might be to blame.
How can I tell if my water heater is empty?
If you run out of hot water quickly or are experiencing inconsistent temperatures, you might have a leak.
