Signs Your Water Heater is in Need of Repairs

Most of the time there is an issue with your hot water heater, it will be relatively obvious. Hot water will simply not come out at all, or the tank will have a substantial leak that would be difficult to miss. However, sometimes the signs that something is awry are more subtle.

Some common signs that your water heater needs repair include:

  • Lack of hot water
  • Quickly running out of hot water
  • Strange clanging or grinding noises coming from the tank
  • Rust colored or cloudy water
  • Water leaking from the water heater
  • Strange smelling water
  • Reduced hot water pressure

If you notice any of the above issues, it’s important to call our Abbotsford water heater repair technicians for service immediately to help resolve the problem before a bigger issue arises that would require a full system replacement. We also offer routine water heater maintenance services to keep your systems operating efficiently for longer. Did you know that you are supposed to annually flush your water heater tank to prevent sediment build up? Call on of our service technicians for service if it’s been more than a year since you last had your water heater serviced.

What are the Benefits of a Tankless Water Heater?

Tankless hot water heaters are becoming more and more popular due to their lack of bulkiness compared to their traditional tank-based counterparts. Although they generally have a higher upfront installation cost, they usually last about two times as long as traditional water heaters, which could save you money on replacement costs down the road.

Advantages of upgrading to a tankless water heater include:

  • More energy efficient
  • Longer lifespan
  • Require less storage space
  • Won’t run out of hot water

Is Repairing a Water Heater Worth It?

Read more
Over time, hot water tanks can suffer from wear and tear, which may necessitate water heater repairs. Certain issues, such as a leaking tank or persistent problems with the heating element, may indicate that a replacement is more cost-effective than continuous repairs. Determining whether to repair or replace your hot water heater can be a complex decision, and it depends on a number of factors, including the type of unit you have, its age, its condition, and the specific issue at hand. Electric water heaters, for example, are often more energy-efficient than gas ones, but they can still lead to high utility bills if they're not functioning properly. In these cases, even if the unit is not very old, replacing the hot water tank with a more efficient model could save you money in the long run. It's also important to consider the demand for hot water in your home. If your water heater is struggling to meet the demand, it could be a sign that it's time to upgrade to a larger unit or a tankless unit, which heats water on demand instead of maintaining a heated water supply. In addition, advancements in technology have led to newer models being significantly more efficient, meaning they consume less gas or electricity to heat water, leading to lower utility bills. If you're unsure what's the best course of action, reach out to our professional technicians. We can inspect your system, determine the root cause of any issues, and provide a professional opinion on whether water heater repairs or replacement would be the most economical solution.

Water Heater Repair FAQ

There are several components in your water heater that can fail over time due to wear and tear or lack of regular maintenance. Some of the most commonly problematic parts include the thermostat, heating elements, and pressure relief valve. The thermostat, which regulates the temperature of the water in your heater, may malfunction, leading to inconsistent hot water supply. Heating elements, especially in electric water heaters, can burn out, resulting in cold or lukewarm water. The pressure relief valve, designed to release excess pressure from the tank, can become faulty, potentially leading to leaks or, in severe cases, a burst tank.
Water heaters can leak due to several reasons, often stemming from internal issues. Corrosion within the tank is one of the most common culprits. Over time, minerals in the water can react with the steel of the tank, causing it to rust and eventually form leaks. Another common cause is a faulty pressure relief valve. If the valve doesn't correctly release pressure, the buildup can cause the tank to leak or even burst. Additionally, faulty or degraded connections, such as the inlet or outlet connections, drain valve, or heating element gasket in an electric water heater, can also lead to leaks.
The duration of a water heater repair can vary widely depending on the complexity of the issue and the specific type of repair needed. Simple repairs, such as replacing a faulty pressure relief valve or a heating element in an electric water heater, can often be completed within a couple of hours. However, more complex repairs, like addressing internal corrosion or replacing a faulty thermostat, may require more time — potentially spanning several hours to half a day.
