How Can You Tell If Your Water Heater Needs to Be Repaired?
Hot water heaters will naturally break down as they are used over time. These breakdowns, which happen as the tank ages and is used frequently, can lead to water spills, leaks, and eventually without any hot water at all.
In some cases, depending on the age and quality of your hot water tank, these issues can be fixed with simple repairs. In most cases, fixing the thermostat on the tank can solve a hot water crisis, but as time passes the tank will begin to malfunction more often, and eventually will need to be replaced with a newer model. Additionally, newer hot water tanks have electrical components which will also require replacing as the tank gets on in years.
FAQ
Can water heaters be repaired?
Yes, water heaters can be repaired. However, after a licensed plumber assesses your water heater, depending on the issue they may suggest a water heater replacement. Most times it can be a simple fix.
How do I know when to repair or replace my water heater?
Water heaters, when flushed annually, can last for many years. Perhaps, your family is growing and you are in need of a larger water heater or you want to upgrade to a tankless water heater.
Are tankless water heaters more efficient?
While a tankless water heater may be more expensive at first, tankless water heaters are more efficient and your home will never run out of hot water!
What is water heater maintenance?
Water heater maintenance includes having a plumber come and flush your water heater every few years to help extend the life of your water heater.
Can anyone install a water heater?
It's in the best interest of the homeowner to hire a licensed plumber when you need a water heater installed.
Should You Get a Tankless Hot Water Heater?
A tankless hot water heater tank operates differently than a regular hot water tank, as it is connected directly to your plumbing system, and only activates when the hot water tap is opened. When a hot water tap is opened, the cold water flows through one (or more) high efficiency heating elements. This differs from hot water tanks, which keep a reservoir of hot water sitting inside them at all times. Tankless water heaters can be powered by gas, electricity, or alternative energy like solar.
Below are some advantages to tankless hot water heaters:
● Continuous hot water (since there is no reservoir to deplete)
● Money-saving
● Space-saving (no large tank in your basement)
● Longevity (because the tank isn’t in constant use)
