Common Water Heater Repair Issues We Fix:
Here are some of the most common water heater problems we can diagnose and repair:
- Leaking: Leaks can occur from various locations on your water heater, and early detection helps prevent further damage.
- No Hot Water: This can be caused by a variety of issues, such as a faulty heating element, thermostat malfunction, or sediment buildup.
- Lukewarm Water: Inconsistent water temperature can indicate a malfunctioning thermostat or sediment buildup.
- Strange Noises: Unusual noises like groaning or banging can be signs of internal issues.
- Pilot Light Issues: For gas water heaters, a faulty pilot light can prevent proper heating.
Troubleshooting Tips for Homeowners:
While we recommend calling Gubbels for any major water heater issues, here are a few simple troubleshooting tips you can try:
- Check the Thermostat: Ensure your water heater thermostat is set to the desired temperature.
- Reset the Circuit Breaker: If your water heater uses electricity, check the circuit breaker to see if it’s tripped.
- Inspect the Pressure Relief Valve: A faulty pressure relief valve can cause leaks. If you see a continuous leak coming from the valve, it’s best to call a professional.
Signs It’s Time to Call Gubbels for Water Heater Repair or Replacement
While your water heater can provide years of reliable service, there are some signs that indicate it might be time for repair or replacement. Here’s what to watch out for:
Water Heater Repair Might Be Needed If You Experience:
- Leaks: Leaks can develop around the water heater tank, pressure relief valve, or pipes. Even a small leak can indicate a larger problem and should be addressed promptly to prevent water damage.
- No Hot Water: This is a clear sign that something is wrong with your water heater. It could be due to a malfunctioning heating element, thermostat issue, or sediment buildup.
- Lukewarm Water: Inconsistent water temperature, especially if it runs lukewarm most of the time, can indicate a failing heating element, clogged pipes, or a faulty thermostat.
- Strange Noises: Unusual noises like popping, banging, or rumbling noises coming from your water heater can signal internal problems.
- Discolored or Rusty Water: Rusty or discolored water flowing from your hot water tap can be a sign of corrosion inside the water heater tank. This can not only reduce water quality but also increase the risk of leaks.
- Age: Water heaters typically last 8-12 years. If your water heater is approaching this age and experiencing any of the issues mentioned above, it might be time for a replacement.
Consider Water Heater Replacement If:
- Frequent Repairs: If your water heater requires frequent repairs, replacing it might be a more cost-effective solution in the long run.
- Reduced Efficiency: Older water heaters are less efficient than newer models. Replacing your water heater with a high-efficiency model can save you money on your energy bills.
- Insufficient Hot Water: If your current water heater doesn’t provide enough hot water for your household needs, a replacement with a larger capacity might be necessary.
If you’re unsure whether your water heater needs repair or replacement, contact Gubbels Water Heater Repair & Replacement for a professional diagnosis. Our experienced technicians can assess your water heater and recommend the best course of action.
