Water Heater Repair and Replacement

Signs That Your Water Heater Needs Repair

When a water heater is malfunctioning or inefficient, several signs can indicate it needs repair. Here are some common indicators that your water heater may require attention

Insufficient or No Hot Water:

If your water heater is struggling to produce hot water or the water is lukewarm despite the thermostat being set to a high temperature, there might be a problem with the heating elements or the thermostat, signaling a need for repair.

Discolored or Rusty Water:

The presence of discolored or rusty hot water is a warning sign of corrosion or rust inside the tank or the pipes. This situation requires immediate attention as it could lead to leaks or contamination of the water supply.

Unusual Noises:

If your water heater is making strange noises like pops, cracks, or rumbles, it’s usually due to a buildup of sediment at the bottom of the tank, which can cause overheating or damage to the tank lining. Flushing the tank or addressing the sediment buildup can resolve this issue.

Water Leaks around the Heater:

Leaks or pooling water around the water heater can indicate cracks or fractures in the tank, loose connections, or faulty valves. This is a serious concern as it can lead to water damage and needs immediate repair to prevent further complications.

Frequent Tripping of Circuit Breaker:

If the circuit breaker connected to your water heater keeps tripping, it can be due to electrical problems with the heating element, wiring, or other internal components. This repeated tripping requires prompt investigation and repair to restore normal function and ensure safety.

Whenever you notice these signs, contact Water Heater Jockey Professionals promptly. Delaying repairs can lead to more significant damage and higher repair costs. Our team of expert technicians is dedicated to diagnosing and resolving any issues efficiently, ensuring you have a reliable and safe hot water supply.

When to Replace Your Water Heater

We specialize in providing efficient, safe, and reliable water heater solutions, ensuring you receive expert advice, quality replacements, and professional installations, tailored to your specific needs and preferences.

Age of the Water Heater:

Most water heaters have a lifespan of around 10-15 years. If your unit is approaching or has surpassed this age, it’s typically more cost-effective to replace it than to repair it.

Frequent Repairs:

If your water heater requires constant repairs, it may be more economical to replace the entire unit instead of continually addressing recurring issues.

Rusty or Muddy Water:

Rust-colored or muddy water coming from the hot water tap usually signifies internal tank corrosion or sediment buildup, signaling that replacement may be necessary.

Inadequate Heating or No Hot Water:

If your unit is no longer able to meet your hot water needs or fails to produce hot water at all, it’s time to consider a replacement.

Significant Leaks or Structural Damage:

Leaks around the tank or structural damage to the unit itself can lead to water damage and are often signs that the water heater needs replacing.

Water Heater FAQ

I think I might have a leaking pipe, but I don’t see any water. How can I be sure?

Check the level on your water meter. Make sure no one in the house uses any water for a couple of hours. Go back and check the level again. If your meter is registering a change in water levels, then you probably have a leak. Time to call a local plumber you trust.

What are the benefits of a Hybrid electric with heat pump water heater.

Heat pump vs Gas :
Heat pump water heaters are more energy efficient because they move heat while gas water heaters create heat via combustion. And it always takes less energy to move heat than create it!

Heat pump vs Electric:
Hybrid water heaters, when used correctly, are incredibly energy efficient– they can save homeowners about $470.00 a year on water heater costs compared to a standard electric water heater!

HVAC FAQ

How long does air conditioner last?

Like most things around your house, air conditioners need proper maintenance and care to keep them operating at optimal levels. If you make sure your fan is set to AUTO, instead of ON, and are careful not to keep your temperature too low, and your AC should last about 12-15 years.

What is a ductless air conditioner?

Central air conditioning systems use the interior network of ducts to send cold air through vents spread throughout the home or office. Ductless systems pump cold air to compact indoor units within individual rooms. Each unit cools its own zone only when it’s needed. The result is a system that is more efficient and can be easier and more affordable to install.

How often should I replace the filters of my forced air furnace or central heating system?

It all depends on the type of filters you are using. But a good rule of thumb, especially when your systems are getting a lot of use (like during winter), is to replace your filters every month. Or If you are using a washable filter, then remove and clean it every month.
