5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Water Heater

Knowing when to replace your unit can save you from unexpected breakdowns and costly water heater repairs. Here are five common signs that indicate it’s time for a new water heater:

  1. Age: Most traditional water heaters last between 8 to 12 years, while tankless models can last up to 20 years. If your unit is approaching or exceeding these lifespans, it may be time for a replacement.
  2. Leaking: Water pooling around your heater or visible rust on the tank indicates a leak, which often means the tank is corroding and needs to be replaced.
  3. Inconsistent Hot Water: If you’re frequently running out of hot water or the water temperature fluctuates, your heater may be failing.
  4. Strange Noises: Rumbling, popping, or cracking sounds from your water heater are signs of sediment buildup, which can reduce efficiency and damage the tank.
  5. Discolored Water: Rusty or cloudy water can indicate corrosion inside the tank, suggesting it’s time for a new unit.

Different Types of Water Heaters

Choosing the right water heater for your Central Indiana home depends on your needs and preferences. Here are the main types of water heaters we install:

  • Tank Water Heaters: These are the most common type, featuring a large tank that stores hot water until needed. They are affordable and come in various sizes to suit different household needs.
  • Tankless Water Heaters: Also known as on-demand water heaters, these units heat water only when needed, providing an endless supply of hot water. They are more energy-efficient and take up less space.
  • Heat Pump Water Heaters: These use electricity to move heat from the air or ground to heat the water, making them highly efficient. However, they may not be suitable for colder climates.

Water Heater Installation Process

Our water heater installation process is designed to be efficient and hassle-free. Here’s what you can expect when you choose Blue Fox Heating, Cooling, & Plumbing:

This includes considering the number of bathrooms, appliances that use hot water, and peak usage times. We’ll then help you choose the right type and size of water heater for your Central Indiana home.
  2. Preparation: Our team will prepare the installation site by shutting off the water and power supply, draining the old unit, and removing it safely.
  3. Installation: We’ll install the new water heater, ensuring all connections are secure and up to code. This includes connecting the water supply lines, gas or electrical connections, and venting systems as needed.
  4. Testing and Inspection: After installation, we’ll test the new water heater to ensure it’s operating correctly and efficiently. We’ll check for leaks, proper temperature settings, and overall performance.

Gary Stair
From sales to installation, Blue Fox was fantastic.
Sales took extra time and effort to answer all our qustions, and was >very helpful< in discussions regarding our consideration for purchase. The installation crew were sensitive and asked questions regarding what / how we wished to have the work performed in the two days of their installation. Very satisfied!

**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (for the technician)**

Five stars for the technician, Felipe: I had the pleasure of working with Felipe, and he was exceptional. Felipe demonstrated a high level of professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. He went above and beyond to ensure my air conditioner was repaired perfectly. He took the time to explain every step of the process clearly, showing genuine care for my home/walls/flooring/carpet/dog, the challenging scope of the project, and my overall satisfaction.

Unfortunately, the company, Blue Fox HVAC, fell far short of expectations. While the scheduling process was smooth, their customer service after that was disappointing. If not for Felipe's outstanding efforts, I would have sought assistance elsewhere.

Felipe is a 5-star technician working for what feels like a 2-star company. JD, the owner, seems to prioritize branding over proper staffing and support (and electrolytes). The project, initially promised as a one-day job, ended up taking three days to complete because Felipe was forced to work alone, without even a single assistant.

For residents of West Lafayette, I urge caution regarding the company’s advertised 4.9-star rating. My experience tells a different story. I was left without air conditioning for two weeks during a heatwave, with temperatures in my home exceeding 89 degrees. I had to stay in a hotel for two weeks while waiting for the work to be completed. Communication from the company was poor, and Kenley, who initially oversold the project, offered little empathy or urgency. She repeatedly advised patience while working from her air-conditioned office. Meanwhile, her manager, McKaylaya, was unresponsive when the project—promised on a Thursday—was not completed until the following Saturday.

In short, this company needs to address serious operational issues. Felipe’s exceptional service is the only reason I stayed with Blue Fox HVAC. If you choose to work with them, be sure to request Felipe. He is their saving grace.

Brock was helpful in providing a quote for the new heat pump and answering all my questions. Jesse Dunn was very professional during the installation and had the system up and running in less than a day. Prior to the installation, Jesse confirmed that Blue Fox would register the unit for the warranty. Here, I gave 3 stars because, while they were quick to send the invoice, they were very slow in registering the unit for the warranty.

One issue to note: someone I spoke with over the phone said they could register the product even 60 days after installation—but that's not entirely accurate. According to the American Standard website, if registration is done after 60 days, you only receive the 5-year base limited warranty. To qualify for the 10-year extended warranty, the product must be registered within 60 days of installation.

So make sure to follow up with Blue Fox to ensure your equipment is registered within that 60-day window, or you might miss out on the full warranty coverage.

I plan to update my review to 4 stars once Blue Fox provides proof that my new heat pump has been registered for the 10-year extended warranty.
