Common Questions About Water Heater Repair

Why is my water heater not producing hot water?

Your system may have a faulty heating element, a broken thermostat, or sediment buildup affecting performance.

Can I repair my water heater instead of replacing it?

In many cases, simple repairs can restore functionality, but if your unit is over 10-15 years old, replacement may be more cost-effective.

Why is my water heater making strange noises?

Loud popping or rumbling sounds are often caused by sediment buildup, which reduces heating efficiency.

Look for water pooling around the base of your unit or signs of moisture buildup near pipes and connections.

FAQs

How do I know if my water heater needs to be repaired?

Several signs may indicate your water heater needs repair, including:

• Inconsistent or no hot water
• Strange noises coming from the unit
• Leaks
• Foul-smelling or discolored water
• High energy bills

If you're experiencing any of these issues, it's best to call a professional for an inspection and potential repair.

How long does a water heater usually last?

The lifespan of a water heater typically depends on the type and quality of the unit, as well as the level of maintenance it receives. On average, traditional tank water heaters last between 8-12 years, while tankless water heater units can last up to 20 years or more. Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup and checking the anode rod, can help extend the life of your water heater. If your water heater is approaching the end of its lifespan and experiencing frequent issues, it may be time to consider a replacement.

How can I maintain my water heater to ensure it lasts longer?  

Routine maintenance is key to extending the life of your water heater and ensuring it operates efficiently. Here are some tips to maintain your unit:

• Flush the tank annually to remove sediment buildup.  
• Check and replace the anode rod as needed to prevent corrosion.  
• Inspect the pressure relief valve to ensure it’s functioning correctly.  
• Set the thermostat to a safe temperature, typically 120°F, to avoid overheating and reduce energy usage.  
• Regularly check for leaks or signs of rust.  

By performing these tasks or scheduling regular check-ups with a professional, you can prevent costly repairs and prolong the life of your water heater.
