What Are Common Repair Needs For Water Heaters
There are many different places where your water heater might malfunction. From parts that need to be replaced to tanks that need to be reinforced, many times these malfunctions can be taken care of with expert repair. If you’ve started to suspect that there might be something wrong with your water heater, take a look for signs of the following common repair needs:
- Heating Element Failure: Over time, the heating element in your electric water heater unit — which is responsible for heating the water to your desired temperature — can burn out.
- Thermostat Issues: The thermostat is one of the most critical parts of your home’s water heater. Not only is it what keeps your home’s water at the temperature you desire, but it also works as a safety mechanism.
- Sediment Buildup: After years of use, it is likely that your water heater has begun to see a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank.
- Gas Line Issues: If you have a water heater that is powered through gas, you also have to consider whether or not the gas line is working effectively.
Whatever the damage is, at A+ Derr, we know how to take care of water heaters quickly and effectively, meaning you can get back to hot showers, washing dishes, and doing laundry with peace of mind, knowing that hot water will be there when you need it.Â
How Can I Know When My Water Heater Needs Repair?
It can be difficult to figure out if your water heater needs repair, especially if you live in a household with multiple individuals. It can be easy to blame a lack of hot water on the number of people that are taking showers every night! But at A+ Derr, we know the signs to watch for that might indicate you have a repair need — not just a lot of usage. Take a look at these common signs to see if you might have a water heater repair need:
Inconsistent Water Temperature
While it might be clear that hot water has run out if your water simply turns cold, it can be confusing when the water goes back and forth between cold and hot. When this happens, there is a chance that the thermostat on your water heater is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced or recalibrated.Â
A Drop In Water Pressure
If you notice a gradual drop in water pressure, noticeable enough but not sudden, there is a chance that enough sediment has built up in the tank to cause pressure issues. However, if the drop in pressure is sudden, you likely have a plumbing line issue. Regardless of the issue, one of our experts at A+ Derr can come out and help solve the issue quickly!
No Hot Water
If your water doesn’t even start to get warm, then it’s likely that your heating element is out. Without a functioning heating element, the water in your unit will not even begin to get warm. When this happens, it’s a clear sign that there is something significantly wrong with your unit that needs to be addressed by an expert plumber.Â
