As soon as the winter season arrives, most people like to take bath with hot water. For this, use of geysers is very common in homes. In India, almost every house has a geyser. But the geyser may also malfunction after prolonged use.
Sometimes it does not heat water properly and in some cases it can even be dangerous to use. In such a situation, the geyser gives some signals, which show that the time has come to buy a new geyser. Let us know about these signs.
Strange sound coming from geyser
If your geyser is making a loud noise, rattling or whistling sound while switching on, then it can be a warning. This usually happens due to dirt or calcium accumulation inside the geyser. Due to this, the geyser has to work harder to heat the water and its parts can become overheated. If such a situation persists for a long time, the risk of the tank bursting also increases. Therefore, when such sounds occur, it is better to change the geyser.
water leaking from geyser
If water is dripping from the geyser’s tank, valve or pipe, do not take it lightly. Water leakage not only wastes water but can also cause dampness in walls and floors. Apart from this, there is a risk of accident due to the presence of electricity and water. If there is a recurring problem of leakage, then installing a new geyser is a safe option.
frequent breakdowns
If the old geyser is repeatedly breaking down and has to be repaired every few months, then it is a sign that it should be replaced. Repeated repairs cost more money and also cause problems. In such a situation, it is wise to buy a new and reliable geyser.
high electricity bill
Old geysers consume more electricity. If your electricity bill is much higher than normal in winter, then geysers could be the reason for it. New geysers use more energy, which saves electricity.
