Your ability to tackle a sink full of dishes… your hot shower after a long day at work… you owe all of this to the power of your water heater. That amazing tank-style appliance allows you to have the comfort and luxury of hot water for whatever you need. Unfortunately, like any other appliance, it’s not always guaranteed that a water heater will work as it should. As a matter of fact, in some cases, you might need a new hot water heater installation in King County.
Here are a few signs that your water heater might be failing or has conked out completely:
- Gritty or discolored water that doesn’t clear after a few minutes of running water.
- Hot smells coming from the faucet or weird burnt tastes.
- The water doesn’t heat at all anymore.
- The hot water runs out quickly.
- Banging or clanking coming from the water heater.
- Puddles or wet spots around the water heater.
Your water heater is an important appliance in your home. This means it comes with big responsibilities, so regular inspections are encouraged. On average, you should call professionals like Cascade Energy Services to inspect your water heater once a year.
What’s the Average Lifespan of a Home’s Hot Water Heater?
The lifespan of a home’s water heater is dependent on several variables, such as how often it’s used, the type of water heater (as in brand), and how well it’s maintained from one year to the next.
On average, a well-maintained water heater will last 8 to 12 years.

I highly recommend Bill from Cascade Energy Services. He did what other HVAC companies in the area weren't able to do. Instead of trying to sell me into buying a new HVAC unit (which is what I initially contacted him for), he found me a replacement part for my existing high-end Trane furnace, ordered it on my behalf for local pickup just down the road from my house. This saved me $$ by not having to replace my entire furnace. I had paid another HVAC company to come out and try to find the replacement part but they couldn't do it. Bill did it over phone / email and didn't charge me anything. I simply paid for the part (at wholesale cost) that he ordered, and once I plugged in the new part (pressure switch), my furnace was up and running like normal. I'd trust Bill on the any HVAC matters. He is very knowledgeable and cares about doing the right thing for the customer. I now have a trusted go-to source for future heating and cooling needs!
