⚠️ Signs You Need a Hot Water Tank Replacement
Most tanks last 8–12 years. You may need a replacement if you notice:
- Water leaking from tank or base
- Very limited hot water
- Rusty, discoloured, or metallic-smelling water
- Rumbling, popping, or banging noises
- Tank constantly running
- Pilot light issues
- Visible rust or corrosion
A leaking tank can cause serious water damage — replacing it early is always cheaper than repairing the aftermath.
