5 Signs you Need Water Heater Repairs
Traditional tank units typically last eight to 12 years, while tankless systems can last 20 years or longer. While each system is different, the signs that the water heater requires repairs are remarkably similar across all units. If you have an older one, we can help you determine whether it’s more cost-effective to continue repairing a failing unit or whether it’s best to replace it with a new, energy-efficient model.
If you notice any of the following, schedule a repair appointment without delay:
- Insufficient amount of hot water: Lowered capacity or loss of all hot water can signal everything from sediment buildup in the tank to a faulty heating element.
- Moisture around the tank: Leaks around the tank can be caused by defective seals, faulty valves, or corrosion that’s eaten through the tank.
- Discolored hot water: Water discoloration can be due to bacterial growth in the tank, corrosion, or excess sediment.
- Odd sounds coming from the unit: Unusual sounds can be caused by sediment buildup and other issues. Common sounds of problems include popping, banging, and rumbling.
- Discolored pilot light: Pilot light discoloration can be caused by problems with the fuel supply or clogged burners that cause incomplete combustion.
