Identifying Common Water Heater Issues

Whether you think about it or not, you utilize your water heater on a daily basis. You need it to shower, wash dishes, do laundry, and more. Therefore, when your water heater is on the fritz, it's important to give our Suffolk County water heater repair plumbers a call.

Five of the most common water heater problems are:

  • No hot water: This is a clear sign that something is wrong with your unit. If your water heater is gas-powered, it could be an issue with your pilot light. No hot water can also be due to your thermocouple or heating element needing to be replaced.
  • Not enough hot water: If your hot showers suddenly turn icy, it could be that you don't have the thermostat set high enough. Be careful, as setting it too high could cause scalding. We'll inspect your unit and get to the bottom of the issue, restoring reliable hot water.
  • Odd noises: Subtle noises while your water heater runs are perfectly normal. However, louder, more unusual noises, are clear signs you have a problem. Be sure to call us if you hear rumbling, squealing, popping, or cracking.
  • Leaks: There are many possible causes for your water heater to leak. If it's just an issue with the drain valve, we can repair it. However, if you have a tank water heater and it's leaking due to corrosion, we might suggest replacement instead.
  • Corrosion: While corrosion is typically a sign that you need to replace your water heater, you can make it work if your unit is only partially corroded. Replacing some of the corroded parts can help you gain some time to save up for a new unit.

Maximizing Hot Water Efficiency: Should You Turn Up Your Water Heater?

Turning up the heat in your water heater will cause hotter water to stay in the tank longer. However, it is recommended to keep your water heater between 130-140 degrees Fahrenheit. Turning your water heater up too high will raise your electricity bill and will reduce the water heater's lifespan.

Commonly Asked Questions

How often should I have my water heater serviced?

It is generally recommended to have your water heater serviced at least once a year to ensure it is operating efficiently and to prevent any potential issues.

How can I improve the efficiency of my water heater?

You can improve efficiency by regularly flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup, insulating your water heater and pipes, and ensuring the thermostat is set to the appropriate temperature.

What should I do if I smell gas around my water heater?

If you smell gas, immediately turn off the gas supply, evacuate the area, and contact your gas company or a qualified technician right away.

Is it safe to attempt water heater repairs myself?

While some minor maintenance tasks can be performed by homeowners, it is generally safer to hire a professional for repairs to avoid potential hazards and ensure proper handling.
