Water Heater Repair Service

Without a doubt, a tank or tankless water heater is an important part of a house. Unlike many other heating or cooling appliances, it is used year-round and can experience a heavier workload. Which can lead to more frequent malfunctions and repairs. The most common reason to schedule a water heater repair service are:

  • Water tank leaks.

  • The water around an on-demand water heater, or dripping from it.

  • Low hot water pressure.

  • Water heater does not produce enough hot water.

  • Strange sounds such as gurgling, banging or popping coming from a water heater.

  • Unusual and loud noises from the tank.

  • Rusty or discolored hot water coming from the tap.

  • The water heater does not light or does not stay lit.

  • Inconsistent hot water temperature.

Water Heater Installation Service

When you consider water heater installation, in the first turn you should decide whether you want a tank or tankless option, and pay attention to a few other important factors such as:

  • Size of a water heater. The size of the water heater should be based on household hot water consumption needs. 

  • Energy efficiency. Look for water heaters with a high Energy Factor (EF) rating, to save on monthly energy bills. 

  • Tank or Tankless water heater. Tankless models heat the water on demand, which makes them more energy-efficient, plus they need less space for installation. However, they typically cost more than tank water heaters. 

  • Water quality in your area. Water rich in minerals and contaminants can have an impact on the performance and lifespan of a water heater. Your water heater may require maintenance service more often. One way to extend the lifespan of a water heater is by installing a water softener or descaling system.

  • Warranty. Check the length and terms of the warranty. Most manufacturers require on-time maintenance service in order to keep the warranty.

Water Heater Replacement Service

Having a reliable water heater is important for any household. Unfortunately, even with regular maintenance, some types of water heaters have a relatively short lifespan. To avoid sudden serious breakdowns, it is important to pay attention to the warning signs of a potential replacement.

  • Age of your water heater. The average lifespan of a well-maintained tank water heater is 10-15 years, for a tankless option it can be up to 20. 

  • Frequent and costly repairs. It can be more cost-effective to consider replacement in that case. 

  • Rusty or discolored water. It could be a sign of corrosion in the water heater tank. 

  • Leaks from a water tank or water heater. While some small leaks can be repairable, severe leaks often require the water heater to be replaced. 

  • Increase in hot water demand. A small water heater may not be able to produce enough hot water to satisfy increased demand.

  • Corrosion on the outside of the water heater tank or pipes leading to it.
