There is nothing worse then trying to take a relaxing hot shower at the end of a long day and suddenly the water turns ice cold. Your water heater is a critical appliance in your home. If you notice any issues, it is important to have your water heater repaired or replaced as soon as possible. This ensures that you have reliable hot water whenever you need it.
Issues to Watch Out For:
Most water heater issues give homeowners a warning that your tank needs attention. If your water heater isn’t regularly serviced, you will want to keep an eye on your system. This allows you to schedule any repairs before the problem becomes more complicated. Common issues include:
Fluctuating temperatures: If your water is not heating up, this could be from a misfiring heating unit, not enough power to your water heater, or a faulty thermostat. Lukewarm water could be an indication of hot and cold connections accidentally crossed, or you may not have the appropriate size heater for the needs of your household. Water that is too hot could be caused by the thermostat being set too high, or it’s faulty.
Water leaks: Your water heater could start to leak for several reasons such as improper water pressure, corrosion, a damaged temperature valve, or a bad gasket.
Discolored water: Corrosion and other issues, such as a failing anode rod, can cause your water to appear rusty.
Loud banging: Sediment can collect within your tank over time, especially if you don’t normally drain your water heater. This build-up can cause your tank to make unexpected noises.
