Additionally, if you notice a significant increase in your energy bills, it could indicate that your water heater is working harder than it should to heat water, signaling a need for a replacement. Finally, if your current unit no longer meets the needs of your household due to changes in water demand, upgrading to a model with a capacity more suited to your family's usage can improve performance and energy consumption.
