Watch out for these things to ensure that your heater is always in great shape:- Water heaters have an average life span of 10-12 years. If you think that your unit is approaching the end of its life, carefully watch for any sign of breakdown.

Legitimate plumbing technicians can give you an advice whether your unit needs to be replaced or merely repaired.
- Dirty water comes out from your shower. If you notice that the water coming out of your shower is dirty and the taste has a weird metallic tinge, then your unit could have a problem. Having dirty water with a metallic tinge taste means that the dirt inside the tank has accumulated over the years. Simply determine the problem by checking the hose and tubes, and the tank itself for sediments or sludge buildup. Have it cleaned by a professional service tech immediately.
