A water heater replacement service can help you upgrade your home with a new water heater. If you haven't gotten water heater services in a while, it may be time for a replacement. There are three good reasons you should have a trusted water heater replacement service on your radar.

1. Your Water Heater Is Old

According to Bob Vila, water heaters usually last eight to 12 years. If your water heater is nearing the end of its life expectancy, it's time to consider investing in a water heater replacement service. When a water heater fails, it can create a huge mess. Getting your water heater replaced before it's too late will put you ahead of the game and reduce the risk of you being left without hot water

Think about what happens to all that water in the tank when there is a catastrophic failure like the bottom of the tank leaking. You end up wasting a lot of water with a leak like that. Being proactive will ensure that you never have to deal with wasted water or the lack of hot water.

2. New Water Heaters Are More Energy Efficient

You may be thinking that you have a perfectly good water heater, so why would you change it? The answer is simple. Today's water heater options are far more efficient than they ever have been. Additionally, you have more options in general for heating water in your home. For example, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), modern water heaters can be 8% to 14% more energy efficient for homes that use a lot of hot water — around 86 gallons per day.

A new water heater will start paying you back with energy savings immediately. The new water heaters are graded for energy efficiency and designed to conserve energy. As a result, the savings can be significant.

3. Gain Peace of Mind

A new water heater also means you don't have to worry about it failing on you for years to come. You have at least 15 years of worry-free operation ahead of you. As a result, you will be able to count on hot water being available when you need it.

There are just a few reasons why changing your water heater now rather than waiting until you start to have problems is beneficial for you.
