Top Signs You Need Professional Water Heater Repair

If you're experiencing any of the following issues, it's a good idea to give us a call and set up a service appointment: 

  • Cool or lukewarm water: If the water isn't as hot as it used to be, then the heater is quite clearly not doing its job. If temperatures are below 120 degrees Fahrenheit and resetting the thermostat doesn't solve the issue, it may be time to call a professional.
  • Unexpectedly High Utility Bills: An unexplained surge in your water bill could be a sign of plumbing issues, including sediment buildup and leaks. Contacting a professional plumber for repairs may be a more cost-efficient solution than letting the issue linger and seeing damage get worse. 
  • Leaks: Water heater leaks can be dangerous if left unchecked, with loose fittings, malfunctioning relief valves, or tank cracks potentially leading to an explosion. 
  • Unusual Noises from Your Water Heater: Hardened sediment buildup in your water heater can cause banging and eventually lead to leaks. A DIY drain may solve the problem, but if that doesn't, seek out our Sacramento water heater techs. 
  • Discolored Water Issues: Rust-colored or cloudy water can indicate corrosion and sediment buildup within the water heater tank. It's important to address this issue promptly to prevent further damage to your plumbing system.
  • Pilot Light Instability: For homeowners using natural gas to power their water heater, a draft in the space or issues with the fuel line can cause the pilot light to extinguish. It's essential to address this issue promptly for safety and cost-efficiency.

Benefits of Water Heater Repair

Repairing your water heater rather than replacing it can offer numerous advantages that enhance both your comfort and your wallet. Here are some key benefits:

  • Cost Savings: Repairing a water heater is often significantly less expensive than purchasing a new unit. By addressing repairs early, you can avoid the high costs associated with complete replacement.
  • Increased Lifespan: Regular repairs and maintenance can extend the life of your water heater. By fixing minor issues promptly, you can prevent them from escalating into more significant problems that require a full replacement.
  • Improved Efficiency: A malfunctioning water heater can lead to inefficiencies, causing it to work harder to heat water, which can raise energy bills. Repairs can restore your unit to optimal performance, helping to reduce overall energy consumption.
  • Consistent Hot Water Supply: Timely repair ensures that you have a reliable supply of hot water for your daily needs. This consistency is especially vital for activities like bathing, cooking, and cleaning.
  • Enhanced Safety: Faulty water heaters can pose safety risks, including leaks and potential explosions. Professional repairs ensure the safe operation of your unit, giving you peace of mind.
  • Environmental Benefits: A well-maintained water heater operates more efficiently, which can lower your carbon footprint. Repairing rather than replacing also reduces waste, as fewer appliances end up in landfills.
  • Peace of Mind: Knowing that your water heater is functioning correctly and is regularly maintained can give you confidence in your home's overall plumbing system, reducing stress about unexpected issues.

Considering these benefits, it's clear that investing in water heater repair can lead to long-term gains for both your household's comfort and your finances.
