When You Know It’s Time for a Water Heater Replacement
Water heaters don’t last forever. And while we’d all love to avoid a water heater repair, and keep ours to keep chugging along without a hiccup, there comes a day when repairs just aren’t enough. The trick is knowing when that day is so you can swap it out before you’re stuck with an ice-cold shower at 6 a.m.
Here are a few signs your water heater might be hinting it’s ready to retire:
- Inconsistent water temperature. One minute it’s hot, the next it’s lukewarm. That’s not “quirky,” it’s a sign something’s off.
- Rusty or discolored water. If your tap water looks like weak tea, the inside of your tank might be corroding.
- Weird noises. Banging, popping, or rumbling sounds usually mean sediment build-up, which can shorten your heater’s life.
- Leaks. A little drip today can turn into a big, soggy problem tomorrow.
- Old age. Most water heaters last about 8–12 years. If yours is hitting double digits, it’s time to start planning.
When you notice any of the above symptoms in your water heater, don’t panic, just call Polly, and we can help answer a few questions:
- Can this be fixed, or is replacement the better call?
- If I replace it, should I go with a traditional tank or a tankless model?
- What size and type best fit my home’s needs?
A good plumber will give you clear answers, explain your options, and help you avoid wasting money on endless repairs when a new unit would save you more in the long run. And even better news: Polly is full of good plumbers.
Bottom line: Don’t wait until your water heater fully gives out. Pay attention to the warning signs, and you can plan your water heater replacement on your schedule, not in a rush with shampoo still in your hair.
You Deserve a Plumbing Team That Respects You
Your water heater isn’t just responsible for making sure your shower is comfortable, and not a polar plunge. It sends hot water through your dishwasher, your laundry machine, and several other essential tools in your household. When it stops working, your routine can come to a standstill.
You deserve somebody that shows up ready to help, not over-explain or overcharge. At Polly Plumbing, we’re here to support you—not talk over you.

Can I install a water heater myself?
You could try, but it’s a lot trickier than it looks. Between the plumbing connections, gas or electrical hookups, and venting requirements, it’s a project best left to someone licensed. That way, you get peace of mind knowing it’s safe and done right the first time.
What are common problems with water heater installation?
Some of the biggest hiccups happen when a unit isn’t leveled properly, the water lines aren’t sealed well, or the venting isn’t set up to move exhaust safely outside. Even small slip-ups can cause leaks or shorten the life of your heater.
How long does it take to install a water heater?
Most straightforward installs can be wrapped up in just a few hours, but if your home needs adjustments, like upgrading a line or reworking the venting, it might take longer. Either way, a pro can usually get you back to hot showers the same day.
What tools are needed for water heater installation?
Along with the basics like pliers, pipe wrenches, and a drill, you’ll often need specialty gear for gas fittings, soldering, and venting. That’s one of the reasons most homeowners call in a plumber instead of stocking up on a whole toolbox they’ll rarely use.
