Is Your Water Heater Costing You Money?

Most homeowners don’t think twice about their water heater—until it stops working. But what if your current water heater is quietly draining your wallet every single month?

At American Plumbing Company, we often meet families in Bryan and College Station who are surprised to find that their older water heater isn’t just outdated—it’s inefficient and expensive to run.

🔍 Signs Your Water Heater Might Be Costing You

• Your utility bills keep creeping up Older water heaters work harder (and burn more energy) to heat the same amount of water. That can mean higher monthly bills.

• You’re running out of hot water faster Whether it’s sediment buildup or worn-out parts, your unit may be struggling to keep up.

• Your unit is over 8 years old The average tank water heater lasts 8–12 years. After that, efficiency drops and repair costs rise. A new high-efficiency or tankless unit could pay for itself in energy savings.

• You hear popping or rumbling sounds This is usually a sign of sediment buildup, which forces your water heater to work overtime and shortens its lifespan.

• You haven’t had it serviced in years Regular maintenance can improve performance and help you avoid costly surprises.
