Water Heater Repair FAQs

How do I know if my water heater needs repair?

Common signs include insufficient hot water, unusual noises, water discoloration, leaks around the unit, or inconsistent water temperature.

What is the average lifespan of a water heater?

Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8-12 years, while tankless models can last 20 years or more with proper maintenance.

Why is my water heater making strange noises?

Noises like popping or rumbling are often caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank, which can be resolved with flushing or professional cleaning.

What should I do if my water heater is leaking?

Turn off the water supply to the heater and contact a professional immediately. Leaks may indicate tank damage or faulty connections that require prompt attention.

Can I repair my water heater myself?

While minor issues like resetting the thermostat may be manageable, most water heater problems require professional expertise to ensure safety and long-term reliability.

What are the benefits of regular water heater maintenance?

Maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, extends the unit’s lifespan, improves energy efficiency, and ensures consistent hot water supply.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

This depends on the age of the unit and the extent of the problem. Repairs are cost-effective for newer units, but replacement is often recommended for older systems nearing the end of their lifespan.

What causes my water to be discolored or rusty?

Discoloration is often due to rust inside the tank or sediment buildup. Flushing the tank or replacing the anode rod can resolve the issue.

How long does a typical water heater repair take?

Most repairs can be completed within 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the issue. Your technician will provide a time estimate after inspection.
