Did you know that summer's longer showers and heavier water use can quietly stress an aging water heater? Here's how to do a quick summer health check: π§
βοΈ Start by looking at the base of the unit for any pooling water or rust stains.
βοΈ Next, listen for popping or rumbling sounds during the heating cycle, which often signal sediment buildup.
βοΈ Finally, think about the age of the unit. Most traditional water heaters have a lifespan of 8 to 12 years.
If yours is showing any of these signs, summer is actually a great time to address it before colder months increase demand.
Our licensed plumbers service and install both traditional and tankless water heaters across Winnetka, Wilmette, Glencoe, and the surrounding North Shore communities. π€
