Whether you have a leak or a faulty pilot assembly, we have you covered.

Water Heater Maintenance

Did you know yearly maintenance is an important part of maintaining your water heater? Let our team take care of all your maintenance needs. We can catch issues early to prevent costly repairs in the future.

Regular professional maintenance can help with the following:

  • Water tanks are vulnerable to corrosion over time. Your anode rod, which protects your tank from corrosion, needs to be checked and replaced.

  • The tank needs to be drained and flushed once a year to remove buildup. Sediment buildup can damage your tank over years.

  • Mechanical components, like the pilot light, are vulnerable to problems over time and need to be cleaned and checked to prevent unexpected, costly repairs or replacements.

What Could It Be?

Top 10 Water Heater Problems
  1. Inconsistent Water Temperature: Fluctuating water temperatures can be caused by a malfunctioning thermostat or a defective heating element.
     

  2. Water Too Hot: Water that's scalding hot may indicate a thermostat set too high or a malfunctioning thermostat.  
     

  3. Water Too Cold: Persistently cold water often signals a defective heating element, a compromised burner (in gas models), or a malfunctioning thermostat.
     

  4. No Hot Water: This can be caused by a tripped circuit breaker, a faulty heating element, or a malfunctioning high-temperature limit switch.
     

  5. Inadequate Hot Water: Possible causes include an undersized water heater, sediment buildup, crossed hot and cold connections, or faulty heating elements.
     

  6. Water Leaking from the Tank: Leaks can stem from various sources, including faulty valves, improper water pressure, overheating, loose bolts, bad gaskets, or issues with the dip tube.
     

  7. Rusty or Discolored Water: Brown, yellow, or red-tinted water suggests internal tank corrosion.  
     

  8. Smelly Water: A rotten egg smell indicates bacteria in the tank.  
     

  9. Noisy Water Heater: Rumbling, popping, or whining sounds may indicate boiling water due to sediment buildup.  
     

  10. Old Age: Water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years, but problems can arise earlier, especially with sediment buildup.
