Signs Your Hot Water Heater May Need Repair

If your water heater suddenly fails or begins malfunctioning, you and your family may be left with only cold water. To ensure you always have hot water readily available, it is crucial to remain aware of signs that your water heater unit requires repair.

Call for water heater repair immediately if you notice any of the following:

• Lack of Hot Water. Suppose your unit is not producing hot water or inadequately producing hot water. In that case, this is a sign that your water heater needs to be repaired. A water heater could fail for reasons such as broken heating elements, failed thermo-couplings, or an improperly programmed thermostat.
• Strange Noises. If you hear odd noises from your water heater tank inside, this can signify buildup on the inside of the tank. Alternatively, a damaged heating element can be noisy as they begin to burn out. Contact our plumbing team immediately if you hear strange noises from your unit.
• Puddles on the Floor Near Your Water Heater. If you notice puddles on the ground near your water heater, this is most likely a sign that there is a crack in your unit. The most important thing you can do is immediately shut off the electrical supply to the water heater and contact an experienced plumber from our team right away.

Should You Repair Or Replace Your Water Heater?

If your water heater malfunctions and fails to provide hot water, it can be highly inconvenient, not to mention dangerous. Water heaters can become damaged or break over time, causing water damage and flooding your home. Thus, getting experienced assistance from a professional Los Angeles water heater repair or replacement technician is essential as soon as you notice an unusual noise or inadequate heating.

What to consider:

• Older water heaters may develop leaks, rust, and other problems. Repairing it will only provide temporary relief before another component breaks. So for an older unit experiencing issues, you should consider replacing it entirely.
• A leak in your water heater tank requires an immediate replacement. This is necessary to protect your home from flooding.
• It may be the most cost-effective option to schedule a water heater repair for minor issues on a newer system, such as burner failure or circuit breaker issues.

How Long Do Hot Water Heaters Last?

• In general, water heaters last between 8 and 12 years.
• Electric water heater units can last a little longer than gas models, up to 10 or 15 years.

Tankless Water Heater Installation

Tankless water heaters allow you to access hot water instantly without the long wait. It can save time waiting for the water to heat up, money on your bills, and even space. Our company knows this equipment well, and we ensure we offer our customers the best products for their needs.

Reasons to Go Tankless:

• They’re drought friendly – Drought is something that’s always on our mind here in Southern California. The water scarcity in the Golden State has prompted residents to find ways to conserve. Tankless water heaters save water by reducing the water you have to run to heat the water.
• They’re energy-efficient – Installing a tankless water heater in your home can save you money (an average of $100 annually). Heating water on demand instead of continually keeping an entire tank of water hot uses up to 50% less energy than a unit with a tank.
• They free up space – Tankless water heaters are more compact than a standard water heater. They are typically mounted on the wall, freeing up floor space.
