A failing hot water system becomes apparent when you notice reduced hot water output, strange noises from the unit, rusty water, or no hot water at all. Most hot water systems last 8-12 years, depending on maintenance and water quality. When your hot water system starts showing signs of age or malfunction, professional water heater repair or replacement becomes necessary. Idyllic Plumbing Solutions can quickly diagnose whether your water heater can be repaired or if a full hot water replacement is the better option. Regular water heater maintenance helps extend the lifespan of your system and maintains efficiency.
