Water Heater Repair

You may need a new water heater if:

• Your Tank is Showing Signs of RustIf you notice signs of rust on the exterior of your water heater this could mean that a crack has formed and water from inside the unit is now leaking to the outside and rusting. This can happen from either age or wear and tear of the unit having to work twice as hard to warm the water due to sediment build up on the heating coils within the tank.
• Your energy bills have increased steadily and you’re not sure why –Having a dramatically bigger energy bill can be a good wake up call on replacing your water heater. As your water heating unit gets older, it has to work twice as hard to warm your household’s water. The heating coils within your water heater can also get a build up of sediment which can also take up space in your water heater, meaning your water heater has to make hot water much more often.
• Your hot water is discolored with a reddish or brown-ish tinge to it –If you notice that your hot water is coming out of your faucet with a brown or red’ish color, this could be due to the inside of your water heater rusting. You’ll want to call us as soon as you notice this as this can quickly become a health hazard to you and your household.
• Not Enough Hot Water –Does your shower get cold before you are done? The most common sign a water heater is failing is that it doesn’t produce enough hot water.
