Gas water heaters are both reliable and efficient, but like any system, they can encounter issues that require professional attention. Gas water heaters are more complex than electric water heaters and we recommend calling us before doing any repairs yourself.
There’s a few indications that your gas water heater needs attention. If you notice any of the following, give us a call to determine next steps:
While electric water heaters are much less complicated than their gas counterparts, they can also come with their share of issues.
Most issues that occur with an electric water heater are related to their heating elements. Typically there are two heating elements in an electric water heater so if one of them begins malfunctioning you’ll often notice a lack of hot water in your house.
Below are the most common indicators that your electric water heater needs to be repaired:
When it comes to water heater repairs, understanding the costs and potential complications is crucial. If your unit is relatively new and the repair is minor, it’s usually worth fixing. However, if you’re dealing with an aging water heater or frequent issues, investing in a new unit could save you time, stress, and money in the long run.
Age matters when it comes to repairing a water heater. If your water heater is approaching or has exceeded 7 years of age, repairs may only offer a temporary solution. Older units often have worn components that can lead to recurring problems.
For instance, fixing a single element in a water heater that’s been in use for nearly a decade might only buy you a little more time before other issues arise.
If your water heater is from a home store brand, such as AO Smith or Rheem, keep in mind that these brands often use less durable materials in their construction. While this helps keep their upfront costs lower, it can lead to complications during repairs.
