Most Water Heaters Last 10 to 12 Years
Get the water heater service and repair you need from Big B's Plumbing. We never expect our water heater to break down. Most of us take our water heaters for granted. Our home is full of fixtures and appliances such as toilets, and the garbage disposal that lasts for years without fail. Most water heaters have a 10 to 12-year life cycle before they need replacing. There are some exceptions to the rule, for example, if your water heater is still in good shape and it’s well maintained, it might be worth repairing as long as the repairs are minor.
A well-maintained water heater can last well beyond the expected life cycle. With that said, you certainly don't want to throw good money away by fixing an outdated water heater that has not been maintained.

Most of us wait until your water heater quits producing hot water before we take action. We should know the warning signs of breakdown before it happens. In some cases, your water will be lukewarm. You may also hear a popping or rumbling noise coming from your heater. Your water heater service technician should examine any form of a leak coming from your water heater. The most prominent place for water leaks is from the pressure valve or the storage tank. Maintenance is key to the longevity of your hot water heater.
If your water heater does not receive annual maintenance, sediment will build up and over time will harden. If you like to know more about your water heater service, contact your Big B's Plumbing Contractor in Fallbrook.

According to the Department of Energy, your storage tank’s hot water heater should be set to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. However, most people prefer to have it set to 140 degrees which are also the default setting from most manufacturers. Temperatures set to over 125ºF would be considered unsafe with households of young children. To prevent accidental contact with hot water, set your temperature to 120ºF. Most water heaters have an ABC knob that allows you to set the proper temperature.
What each letter stands for:
Hot-120 degrees
A- 130 degrees
B- 140 degrees
C- 150 degrees
Very Hot- 160 degrees
We recommend setting the knob to hot - 120ºF, especially if you have small children. If you're going on vacation, make sure your hot water heater is set to the lowest possible setting to save energy. Additionally, you'll want to turn off the water to your home.
