Hot water tank

When should I change my hot water tank?

The lifespan of a hot water tank is approximately 10 years. Moreover, insurance companies normally require their policyholders to change their hot water tank every 10 years so that they are covered for a loss caused by a hot water tank.

What are the risks of extending the life of a hot water tank?

One of the things that can happen is the breakdown of the thermostat or one of the elements of the hot water tank. Although this situation is unfortunate, the damage is limited to the temperature of the water you will use until your tank is changed.

The greatest risk is the risk of perforation of the tank which would result in water damage which could prove to be large-scale.

Do not hesitate to contact a Laval plumber to change your hot water tank.
