Common Water Heater Issues
There are many issues that can happen with a water heater. Our expert plumbing technicians have the knowledge and experience to handle whatever problems your water heater faces including:
- Strange noises: If your water heater makes popping, whistling or rumbling noises, this indicates sediment built up within the tank or a faulty heating element.
- Pilot light issues: These can be caused by a faulty thermocouple, fuel supply issues, drafts or poor ventilation, debris buildup, thermostat issues, or a dirty pilot orifice.
- Low water pressure: This can be caused by sediment or mineral buildup in the pipes or issues with the main water supply.
- Inadequate hot water: This can indicate incorrect thermostat settings, sediment buildup within the tank, or a malfunctioning heating element.
- Water is too hot: Too hot water can indicate that your thermostat is set too high or is malfunctioning.
- Rusty or discolored water: This can indicate corrosion inside the tank or a failing anode rod.
- Smelly water: Bad odors can indicate bacterial growth within the tank which often leads to a rotten egg smell.
- Frequent cycling on and off: If your tank continually cycles on and off, it indicates thermostat issues, a malfunctioning pressure relief valve, or faulty heating elements.
Is It Time To Replace Your Water Heater?
When your water heater begins to have issues, the first instinct will always be to repair your current unit. However, this is not always the most cost-effective option. The cases in which it’s best to replace your water heater include:
- Age: Water heaters last 10 to 15 years. If yours is older, consider replacing it.
- Rusty water: If you notice rust in your hot water, this indicates that the inside of the tank is rusting and will most likely soon leak.
- Noisy operation: Loud noises are generally caused by a buildup of minerals or sediment. If the noise persists, despite regular maintenance, it may be time to replace your water heater.
- Leaking: If you see water pooling at the base of your water heater, it indicates a leak in the tank, which typically can’t be repaired.
- Frequent repairs: If you’re repairing your water heater often, this problem will only get worse, and it is time to replace your water heater.
- Insufficient hot water: If your water heater is not meeting your supply needs or taking a long time to heat up, this is a sign of failure.
- Increased energy bills: If you notice a sudden spike in your energy bill without changing your typical habits, this may indicate your water heater is working insufficiently and it’s time for it to be replaced.
