How To Know Your Houston Water Heater Needs Replacement
Properly serviced water heaters can last for decades, but the average service life is 10 years for typical tank-style water heaters, while tankless models may last up to 25 years. Here are some of the most common signs that it may be time to replace your water heater:
- You run out of hot water too quickly.
- The water never gets hot enough.
- The temperature fluctuates widely.
- The water heater is making tapping or knocking sounds.
- The water is rusty, cloudy, or foul-smelling.
- Repairs are needed too often.
- The tank or heat exchanger is leaking.
Some problems like uneven heating or temperature fluctuations can be fixed by cleaning the burners or gas water heaters, replacing heating elements on electric models, replacing the thermostat, or removing scale and sediment.
Water heater repairs make sense if the problem is simple, the water heater is in good condition otherwise, and it’s less than 10 years old for standard models or less than 20 years old for tankless water heaters.
If your water heater is older, needs frequent repairs, or has major problems like extensive corrosion, a leaking tank, or a damaged heat exchanger, it’s likely best to replace it.

Tank-Style Water Heaters vs. Tankless Water Heaters for Houston Homes
Conventional tank-style water heaters keep a large volume of water at all times, so it’s always ready for use. They can be powered by natural gas, propane, or electricity and are vulnerable to corrosion and leaks in the tank.
Tankless water heaters use large amounts of energy for short periods to heat water on demand, shortly after a hot water tap is opened. They’re vulnerable to limescale and sediment accumulations in the heat exchanger, and both gas and electric models are available.
Why Hire a Pro To Install Your Water Heater?
A standard or tankless water heater replacement takes skill and experience to complete safely, as it involves working with plumbing, natural gas, and electrical systems. It’s not something a typical homeowner should try, plus many local codes require a licensed contractor to perform water heater replacement.
With a professional installation, you can be sure your water heater will perform properly, be energy-efficient, and last as long as possible.

How do I know when it's time to replace my furnace?
Without maintenance, your HVAC system will last about 10 years. If you’ve recently had two or more repairs to your furnace, boiler, or heat pump, it’s time to replace your heating system. A heating unit is a big financial investment. Fall furnace maintenance saves money by keeping your system running more efficiently for longer.
The winter storm of 2021 is proof that we should keep our heating systems in good condition!
If you have questions about heating system maintenance, call (346) 988-2977 or contact Horizon Air Solutions.
If your AC breaks and it’s more than 90 degrees outside, that’s an emergency. If your boiler, furnace, or heating system breaks and it’s 40 degrees or below, that’s an emergency too.
Signs to look for include:
- Air blows cool when you need warm air.
- HVAC system won’t turn on.
- If your heating unit turns on and off, this is called short-cycling, and it’s an emergency in minus 40-degree weather.
- Noises (clicking, clunking) can indicate an emergency.
- Odd smell — if it’s the odor of burning plastic/electronics, don’t delay. If you smell gas, call your utility company, then call us ASAP.
- Puddles or drips under your heating unit can be a frozen coil or refrigerant leak.
- You suspect you have a furnace carbon monoxide leak:
- Brown/yellow stains around the pilot light area of the unit.
- Pilot light keeps blowing out.
- You notice a gas-like exhaust smell.
If you didn’t schedule fall heating maintenance, it’s not uncommon to smell burning dust the first time you turn on your heating unit. Odors you should be concerned about are:
- Burning plastic/electrical: Turn off your heating system immediately and call Horizon Air for emergency heating repair.
- Chemical/formaldehyde: A crack in the heat exchanger can cause this odor; it’s an emergency.
- Lingering odors: We have several solutions for “bad air.” The overwhelming smell of cooking grease, cigarette smoke, or pet urine isn’t an emergency, but it isn’t healthy, either. Schedule an indoor air quality assessment.
- Metallic: A heating unit component may be overheating. Turn the unit off and call us.
- Mold/mildew or “dirty socks”: This is not an emergency, but it’s a health risk. Schedule an HVAC inspection.
- Rotten eggs: This may indicate a gas leak. Turn off your heating unit, open windows, and call your utility company. Then call Horizon Air.
- Sewage: This is dangerous. It means a sewage line is leaking into some area of your heating system. Call us, but we may advise you to call a plumber before scheduling an emergency repair.
- Smoke: Turn off your heating system and call us ASAP.
