5 Signs You Need Water Heater Repair

Here are five common signs that indicate you need water heater repair:

1. Insufficient Hot Water: If you notice a significant decrease in the amount of hot water your system is producing, it could be a sign of a problem. The issue may lie in a faulty heating element, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a sediment buildup in the tank. A professional technician can diagnose the cause of the insufficient hot water and provide the necessary repairs to restore your water heater's performance.
2. Fluctuating Water Temperatures: Does the water temperature fluctuate drastically during your shower? Inconsistent water temperatures can be frustrating and uncomfortable. This problem could stem from a faulty thermostat or a malfunctioning heating element. A water heater repair expert can accurately diagnose the issue and make the necessary adjustments or replacements to stabilize the water temperature.
3. Unusual Noises: Strange noises coming from your water heater can be a sign of an underlying problem. Popping, rumbling, or banging sounds could indicate a sediment buildup in the tank. This sediment can cause overheating, reduce efficiency, and potentially damage the water heater if not addressed promptly. A professional can flush out the sediment and eliminate the noises, ensuring your water heater operates quietly and efficiently.
4. Leaks or Water Pooling: Any signs of water leakage or pooling around your water heater should not be ignored. Leaks can be caused by a faulty pressure relief valve, a cracked tank, or loose connections. Ignoring leaks can lead to extensive water damage and further complications. It's crucial to have a professional inspect and repair the water heater to prevent further leakage and ensure its proper functioning.
5. Age of the Water Heater: The age of your water heater can be a significant factor in determining whether it needs repairs or replacement. Most water heaters have a lifespan of around 8 to 12 years, depending on usage and maintenance. If your water heater is approaching or surpassing its expected lifespan, it may be prone to more frequent issues and decreased efficiency. A professional evaluation can help determine if repairs can extend its lifespan or if a replacement is the better option.

Tank Water Heater Replacement Services

When it comes to water heaters, one size does not fit all. Instead, you can choose your heater depending on the size and style of your home, the number of rooms, and the number of occupants utilizing the water in your home. Many traditional homes come with conventional water heater tanks. The insulated tank keeps water warm until it is ready to be used, which is handy unless your tank is not large enough, or if you are using greater amounts of hot water daily. We can completely replace old or faulty tanks. If you are looking to upgrade your heating system, we are well-equipped to handle these heaters as well.
