Water Heater Repair

If you’re noticing your hot water isn’t as hot as you’d like it to be or notice discolored water from the hot water tap, it might be time to get your hot water heater checked out. Over time, water heaters often suffer from sediment build-up that can damage the tank. To remove these sediments, it may be necessary to drain and flush your tank.

Some DIYers can do this themselves, but we recommend that a professional perform water heater repair to avoid any potential problems or warranty issues. ARS/Rescue Rooter is here to help answer your questions, help you decide whether repair or replacement is needed, and provide guaranteed repair when needed.

Water Heater Installation

Today, you have more options to consider when installing or replacing your water heater, many of which can improve energy efficiency and the green living profile of your home while saving you money at the same time. Typically, you’ll have a choice between gas, electric, tankless, and even solar-powered water heaters.

Choose the Right Water Heater For You

Here are a few things to consider when you’re shopping for a new water heater replacement:

Water Heater Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common problem with water heaters?

The most common issue with water heaters is a lack of hot water. This can be due to a faulty heating element, a broken thermostat, or a malfunctioning pilot light. Other common issues include rust-colored water, leaks, strange noises, and a reduction in the amount of hot water available. In some cases, these problems can be fixed with simple maintenance, but in others, it may be necessary to replace the water heater.

Is it worth it to repair a hot water heater?

The answer to this question depends on several factors.

1. Age of the heater: If the hot water heater is relatively new and the repair cost is low, it may be worth repairing it. However, if the heater is over 10 years old, it may be more cost-effective to replace it.

2. Type of repair: Some repairs, such as fixing a leak or replacing a faulty thermostat, may be relatively inexpensive and straightforward, making them worth repairing. Other repairs, such as replacing a failed heating element or fixing a corroded tank, may be more costly and time-consuming, making replacement a more attractive option.

3. Energy efficiency: If your hot water heater is outdated and inefficient, repairing it may not be worth the cost if you won't see a significant improvement in energy savings. In this case, replacing it with a newer, more efficient model may be a better investment.

4. Availability of parts: If the parts needed for the repair are hard to find or are no longer manufactured, it may not be worth repairing the hot water heater.

Ultimately, the decision to repair or replace your hot water heater should be based on a cost-benefit analysis, taking into account the factors mentioned above. If in doubt, consult with a licensed plumber for a professional assessment and recommendation.

What are the signs that my water heater is failing?

There are several signs that indicate your water heater is going out, including:

1. Lack of hot water: If you are not getting enough hot water, it could be a sign of a faulty water heater.

2. Strange noises: If you hear rumbling, banging, or popping noises coming from your water heater, it could indicate a problem.

3. Leaks: A leak in your water heater can be a sign of corrosion, a damaged tank, or a failing pressure relief valve.

4. Rust-colored water: If you notice rust-colored water coming from your hot water taps, it could mean that your water heater's tank is rusting and needs to be replaced.

5. Age: If your water heater is over 10 years old, it may be reaching the end of its lifespan and may need to be replaced.

If you are experiencing any of these signs, it is recommended to have a professional plumber inspect your water heater to diagnose the problem and suggest a solution.

How often should a water heater be serviced?

At ARS®/Rescue Rooter®, we recommend having your water heater professionally serviced once a year to keep it running efficiently and extend its lifespan. Our expert technicians will identify small issues before they turn into costly repairs by checking for sediment buildup, inspecting the tank and connections, and ensuring the system is running safely.
