Replace the Control Valve
The control valve is what makes your water heater work. If you want it to last longer, you must check this part from time to time. Most of the water heater damage originates from the control valve. You can either do it yourself or hire an electrician to do it for you. If you take it to the pros, note that they will not only replace your control valve, but they will also install a new one for you, which is a part of the service. You can also replace it yourself by following the instructions listed in your water heater’s manual.
Check the Electrical Wires

If your water heater is not working as it used to and you find that you have high electricity bills, it is time to check the electrical cables connected to it.
