We have noticed our hot water heater doesn't seem to be getting as hot anymore so we have turned the thermostat setting to a higher temp. I didn't realize how old the water heater was and just looked up the manufacturing date today - 1996.
I haven't been cleaning this thing out, we have been in the house almost 7 years and I really haven't done anything to it. I was thinking about cleaning the sediment out of it but I have been seeing different view points on this. Some say don't even bother, replace it.
What do you all think? Should I replace it or try to clean it out? It is a bradford white heater. -- joepa Speakeasy DSL 1500/384k
reply to joepa One that old should probably be replaced without looking for other reasons. It is going to fail when you are not ready for it. It probably also will save enough it utility bills to pay for itself in two years if not sooner. -- Iphone. Helping computer illiteracy become popular since 2007
