If you’ve noticed your showers turning lukewarm, your hot water running out faster than usual, or strange noises coming from your unit, your hot water system might be trying to tell you something. Knowing the warning signs early can save you from the shock of a complete breakdown — and a cold shower!
1. Inconsistent Water Temperature
If your water suddenly fluctuates between hot and cold, it could mean your system’s thermostat is struggling, or there’s sediment buildup.
2. Reduced Hot Water Pressure
A steady drop in water pressure may indicate a blockage or corrosion within the tank or pipes — both of which can shorten the system’s life.
3. Rusty or Discoloured Water
If your hot water looks brown or rusty, it’s a sign your tank may be corroding from the inside. Once rust takes hold, it’s only a matter of time before leaks start.
4. Strange Noises
Banging, popping or rumbling noises can mean a few different things – and they’re usually not good!
5. Leaks or Pooling Water
If you spot puddles near your unit, it’s time to call a licensed plumber before it gets worse. It can just mean a repair is required, although it could also indicate your hot water unit has burst.
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s best to have your hot water system checked.
