Water Heater Repair

We fix a damaged or malfunctioning water heaters in order to restore it to proper working condition. Common issues that may require repair include leaks, lack of hot water, strange noises, and an excessively long wait time for hot water. The specific repair required depends on the type of water heater (such as electric, gas, or tankless) and the nature of the problem.

Some common water heater repairs include:

• Replacing a faulty thermostat

• Fixing a leaking pressure relief valve

• Replacing a faulty heating element (in electric water heaters)

• Replacing a faulty gas valve (in gas water heaters)

• Flushing out sediment build-up (in tank-type water heaters)

It's worth noting that in some cases, water heaters can be repaired, but it may be more cost-effective in the long run to replace the entire unit instead. If your water heater is relatively old (more than 10-15 years) or is consistently requiring repairs, it may be a good idea to consider replacement instead of continually investing in repairs.

It's important to note that Water heater repairs are dangerous and should only be handled by a professional, since they involves working with gas and electricity.

Tankless water heaters, also known as on-demand water heaters, are becoming increasingly popular because of their energy efficiency and ability to provide hot water on demand. However, like any appliance, they can develop problems that require repairs. Some of the most common tankless water heater repairs include:

• Scale buildup: Hard water can cause mineral buildup inside the tankless water heater, which can lead to a decrease in efficiency and, eventually, damage to the unit. This can be resolved by flushing out the system or descaling the heat exchanger.

• Clogged air filters: The air filters in tankless water heaters can become clogged with dust and debris, which can reduce the unit's efficiency and cause it to shut down. Replacing the filters is a simple fix that we offer.

• Ignition problems: Tankless water heaters use a pilot light or electronic ignition to light the burners. If the ignition system is not working properly, the unit will not be able to heat water. We will be able to diagnose and repair any ignition problems.

• Leaking: Leaking can occur in various part of the unit, from the water inlet or outlet connection to the heat exchanger. We can identify the location of the leak and fix it.

• Faulty Thermostat: If the water is not reaching the desired temperature or the unit is shutting off, it could be a problem with the thermostat. We can diagnosed and repair faulty thermostats.

Tank water heaters, also known as storage water heaters, are the most common type of water heater found in homes. They consist of a large tank that stores hot water, which is then distributed to different fixtures in the home as needed. Some of the most common tank water heater repairs include:

• Leaking: A leak in the tank or one of the connections can cause water damage and reduce the efficiency of the unit. This can be caused by corrosion, a faulty valve, or a damaged tank. A professional plumber will be able to identify the location of the leak and repair it.

• No hot water: If there is no hot water coming from the tank, the problem could be a faulty heating element or thermostat.

• Not enough hot water: If there is not enough hot water coming from the tank, it could be caused by a faulty thermostat, a malfunctioning dip tube, or sediment buildup in the tank. We will be able to diagnose and repair the problem.

• Strange noises: Popping or knocking noises coming from the tank could be caused by sediment buildup in the bottom of the tank. We can flush out the tank and remove the sediment, resolving the problem.

• Temperature and pressure relief valve: This valve is a safety device that is designed to open and release water if the temperature or pressure in the tank becomes too high. If the valve is faulty or not working properly, it can cause the tank to overheat and even rupture. This is an important repair and should be done by a professional.
