If you notice any of these issues, it may be time to contact a professional plumber to assess and repair your water heater.

What are some benefits of upgrading to a newer tank water heater model?
Upgrading to a newer tank water heater model can offer several benefits, including improved energy efficiency, better insulation to maintain water temperature, advanced safety features, and potentially a larger capacity to meet increased household needs. Newer models also tend to have longer warranties and require less maintenance, saving you money in the long run.
How long does a tank water heater typically last in Knoxville's climate?
In Knoxville, tank water heaters generally last between 8 to 12 years. However, the lifespan can vary based on factors such as the quality of installation, water hardness, frequency of maintenance, and usage patterns. Regular maintenance and inspections can help maximize the lifespan of your water heater.
What size tank water heater do I need for my home?
The size of the tank water heater you need depends on the size of your household and your hot water usage patterns. A family of two may be suitable with a 30-40 gallon tank, while a family of four might require a 50-gallon tank. It's important to consider peak usage times and consult a professional plumber to determine the best size for your specific needs.
Are there energy-efficient options for tank water heaters?
Yes, there are energy-efficient options for tank water heaters. Look for models with higher energy factor (EF) ratings, which indicate better efficiency. Energy Star-rated water heaters are a good choice as they meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the EPA. Additionally, consider options such as heat pump water heaters, which can be a cost-effective and eco-friendly choice in the long run.
