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. This means that your water will no longer be heated effectively or efficiently. Unfortunately, when this happens, more often than not, the heating element will have to be replaced. Once replaced, your unit should be able to function normally once again.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. All thermostats work to ensure that the water temperature does not go over your set temperature to make sure that no one gets scalded by water that has gotten too hot. If this begins to fail, not only are you risking your convenience and comfort, you are also risking your safety.Sediment Build Up
After years of use, it is likely that your water heater has begun to see a build up of sediment in the bottom of the tank. While this layer of build up is usually small and insignificant, it can grow to be a problem after years of use. If it seems as though your water is staying hot for shorter and shorter lengths of time, there is a chance the sediment has built up so much that it has impacted the total capacity of the unit! A quick flush of the tank should help restore full capacity to the unit.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. Gas powered water heaters rely on a gas-fed fire to warm up the water stored in the tank. If the gas is no longer free flowing through the line, then the water will not be able to be warmed fully. So if you’ve begun to notice water that only gets warm, but not hot, or doesn’t get warm at all, your gas line might also need to be inspected. 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.
