How can I tell when the boiler needs replacing?
You often realize it’s time to change the Water heater all of a sudden, maybe in the middle of a hot shower or on a particularly cold weekend. Urgent situations give you insufficient time to properly choose the model best suited to your needs. With a little care though, it’s possible to recognize signs of wear in advance and understand when it’s really the right moment to replace your Water heater: let’s look at them together.
***************
Here are five tell-tale signs that help us understand when it’s nearly time to replace our old Water heater with a more recent model.
1. It doesn’t make the water hot enough
It often takes a long time to realize our Water heater isn’t working properly and not heating the water enough, as we get used to warm baths. This is why, if there’s never enough hot water, it’s time to call out an engineer to find out what’s happening and consider changing the Water heater.
2. Noisy Water heater
Maybe we’ve got used to them, but noises coming from our Water heater are certainly not good news: they could mean a fault that, even if initially minor, can eventually become more serious and force us to change the Water heater.
3. The Water heater has frequent water leaks
Water leaks often indicate a failure of the safety valve, which can easily be replaced by a technician. However, if the problem occurs frequently, it might be advisable to consider changing the Water heater. In fact, water can cause significant damage to other parts of the Water heater and therefore represent a danger to our safety.
4. The Water heater’s energy efficiency is low
Even when working properly, some old Water Heater often fail to ensure a fair level of energy efficiency. Find out here, with Ariston, what the model best suited to your needs might be.
5. Every now and again there’s a problem with the Water heater
If you often have to call out an engineer because there’s an issue with the heating or hot water, it could well be time to change the Water heater: by purchasing a new Water heater in fact we could save on maintenance costs while getting efficient heating.
