Common Water Heater Problems
Water heaters are smooth operators, they’re the unsung heroes of home appliances, never really taken into account until something goes wrong. If your system is past its prime, with its glory days far behind it or if it simply isn’t working at peak efficiency, then you may be in need of a repair or a completely new water heater replacement.
Low Water Pressure
If your water heater tank is suffering from low water pressure, it can be a result of sediment buildup. Over time, especially without proper maintenance, minerals tend to pile up at the bottom of your tank, creating a barrier which restricts the flow of water.
These same minerals can also clog the pipes leading to your water heater tank, which greatly reduces the flow of water. If your tank is experiencing low water pressure, it is best to give us a call and have one of our professionals advise you on next steps.
Leaky Tank
It’s never a good thing when a water heater tank, which is designed to hold water, leaks. While other water heater problems can be tricky to identify, leaks are usually easy to catch. If you’re seeing puddles of water around your tank, then it usually means trouble and it is a sure sign you need a water heater replacement. Don’t wait till you’re swimming in water and schedule an appointment today!
Strange Noises
If you’re always hearing noises coming from your tank, such as rumbling, banging noises, or loud pops, it typically means you’re due for a replacement. These loud noises are usually a result of sediment buildup, which can often lead to your tank cracking. This can affect the efficiency of your tank by reducing the water temperature, causing leaks, and even leading to tank failure. Don’t wait till it’s too late and give us a call.
Rust or Corrosion
If water is coming out of your tank, with a reddish/brown tinge to it, then you’ve got a problem. Reddish/brown water indicates internal corrosion of the tank, which usually means A. You’ve got a rusted tank or B. You’ve got rusted pipes. Additionally, if you are able to see rust on the exterior of your tank, then it may indicate the internal corrosion is severe. If you notice rust, give us a call to help you better assess your situation.
Replacing Thermostats
It may not seem like a big deal, but a malfunctioning thermostat can greatly decrease the effectiveness and longevity of your water heater. A faulty thermostat can cause plenty of headaches, often indicating your water may be either too hot or just not hot enough. It can also lead to higher electricity bills as it can leave the heating element running when it’s not supposed to. If you’ve got a faulty thermostat or fear it’s nearing the end of its lifespan, don’t hesitate and give us a call.

Is It Time to Replace My Water Heater?
One doesn’t simply just wonder ‘Is it time to replace my water heater?’ If you’re asking yourself this, there have probably been signs, or an inkling in you that makes you think this. Maybe you bought your house a while back, and have never replaced the water heater. Maybe it’s not that, maybe you’ve just noticed your water doesn’t get as hot, or your energy bill is higher than it’s been before. Whatever it is—you’ve noticed something is off. You’ve got questions and we have answers, read on to learn if it really is time to replace your water heater.
Old Age
Birthdays are milestones to celebrate, but when it comes to water heaters, it is usually a cause for concern. Most water heaters tend to last 8-12 years, but may sometimes be prolonged with proper and regular maintenance. If you’re wondering if it’s time to replace your water heater, old age is usually a telltale sign.
An Inefficient Water Heater Tank
You may not notice an inefficient water heater, at least not at first. Eventually, you’ll notice a consistent increase in your monthly energy bill. Trust us, once your wallet takes a hit, you will definitely take notice. As water heaters get older, their efficiency decreases and they have to work harder to continue working the same. So if there’s a sudden spike in your energy bill, wait a bit and see if it continues, if so, then it may be time for you to get a new water heater.
Issues in Water Quality
A dead giveaway you’re in need of a new water heater is when it fails to do what it’s supposed to do: heat water. It’s no secret water heaters are meant to provide you with hot water, it’s why you’ve got one in the first place. So, if you notice you’ve got to wait longer for your water supply to heat up or a decline in your hot water supply, then you may be in need of a new one. It may be a small issue that can be fixed with some tender love and care from one of our professionals, or it may be a signifier of a much bigger problem. Regardless, schedule a consultation with us!
Strange Odors
Water should be odorless but because of the stagnant and hot water found in your tank, combined with the buildup of sediment, it creates the perfect storm for bacteria to thrive and grow in your water heater tank. This can lead to severe issues like legionella which can cause a type of pneumonia and flu-like symptoms. It is important for you to call a plumbing professional if you begin to notice musty odors coming from your tank.
How Much Will It Cost?
Imagine you come home one day, your basement is flooded, precious family items, maybe baby pictures, or seasonal decorations are floating around, a reminder you didn’t fix your leaking tank. Don’t let this be you.
We understand water heater repairs and replacements can often be costly, but it will cost you more in the long run to leave issues unattended. If you don’t tend to your malfunctioning water tank, it can burst and lead to a flood, doing serious damage to your home that will be more costly than simply having replaced your leaking tank.
Repairs
There’s a lot that goes into determining the cost of a repair, making it hard to give a definite estimate. Usually though, repairs range from $221-$985 dollars, with the average being around $600 dollars. We recommend that if the cost of the repair is near or half the cost of a new water heater to just go ahead and replace it, especially if it’s an older system.
Replacement
Replacements can vary depending on the size of the tank, the type of water heater, as well as the labor required to install it. On average, prices typically starts at $2,050 for both the unit as well as the cost of the installation. Prices usually tend to be a little higher for a tankless water heater, starting at $4,500.
