Your water heater is one of those things you probably rarely think about… that is, until you wake up to a cold shower on a chilly morning. Thankfully, there are a few signs to help you notice that you need water heater repair.
- Lack of Hot Water: Your water heater may need repairs if you are not getting hot water or if the water is not as hot as it once was.
- Discoloured Water: If the water from your faucet is brownish or tastes metallic, call our reliable team about possible water heater repair or replacement. The inside of the tank may have eroded, causing an unpleasant taste and colour. We can help you assess the issue and find ways to fix it.
- Strange Sounds: If your water heater is making banging or knocking noises, it may indicate that the heating element or other parts are overheating. Sometimes, the heating element may work harder than intended because of silt buildup in the tank, causing it to overheat.
- Water Pooling Around the Base of the Water Heater: If you see water gathering around the base of your water heater, the tank may be leaking. Corrosion or tank cracks may be to blame for this, resulting in your need for water heater repair.
- Higher Energy Bills: If you’ve seen a significant increase in your energy costs, your water heater may not be operating as efficiently as it should. This could be due to the issues listed above. Properly assessing your water heater is vital to lowering your costs.
