Common Tanked Water Heater Repair Issues
Tanked water heaters are reliable staples in any modern home. People love them, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have their fair share of repair issues. Here are some of the signs that it’s time to call in for repairs:
- Substantial waiting time for warm water
- Water is way too hot or not hot enough
- Rusty or discolored water
- Leaks around the base of the unit
Water heaters are fairly low-maintenance devices. If it suddenly develops a problem, there’s a strong chance that it could grow into something serious. We recommend contacting one of our technicians right away for an opinion.
Maintenance? For a Water Heater?
You might not think of your water heater very much—it does its job quietly and reliably for the most part. However, it requires maintenance just like any other appliance. We recommend annual maintenance to prevent water heater disasters like:
- Broken temperature gauge
- Sediment buildup, which can reduce efficiency or create leaks
- Leaks in the tank caused by corrosion
Water heaters are always at risk of corrosion due to the fact that they’re constantly in contact with water (ironic, right?). While the tank is equipped with many defenses to prevent corrosion, even those can fail—that’s why it’s essential to have the tank inspected annually. Contact AW Heating & Cooling today if it’s time for your water heater to be tuned-up.
