The average homeowner will need to replace their hot water heater roughly every 10 years. When that time comes, Flowtek can recommend the best size and type for your home and explain your options when it comes to choosing between gas and electric, or a tank or tankless system. To extend the life of your current hot water tank, consider an annual tank flush, to reduce scaling, corrosion, and sediment. You can also lower the temperature of the hot water. The hotter the water in your tank, the faster the minerals in the water will corrode the tank’s lining. It’s also safer. Reducing the tank temperature to 120° Fahrenheit (49° Celsius) greatly reduces the risk of scalding. Hot water tanks are relatively trouble-free appliances, but it makes good sense to check them periodically for signs of trouble. Small leaks, strange noises, and mineral build-up are all signs that your hot water tank may be ready for replacement.
