Usually this is a good sign that you will need to replace your HWH soon. If your HWH is 15 - 20 years old, you will realize a savings in your gas bill when it is replaced. When you replace your HWH it is a good time to adjust your water temperature and insulate the pipes (at least the ones that are easily accessible); it will save you considerable money.
