How can I tell if my water heater needs replacing?

There is no repairing a leaky water heater. If you notice any of these signs it may be time to get a new one. You can purchase your water heater from Sebco Gas, a gas contractor licensed by Technical Safety BC.

• Leaking or Pooling Water on the top around the water connections and/or under or near the heater
• Rust Stains on laundry or in showers or sinks may be evidence of rust buildup in the water heater
• Rusty Water comes out of taps
• Slow Hot Water Recovery Time- it takes longer to heat up water or the water doesn't get as hot even though heat settings haven't changed
• Bubbling or Boiling Noises in your tank as water heats up
