Common Water Heater Problems

Our team specializes in tackling several common water heater issues. Each of these situations demands swift attention, as timely intervention can avert additional damage and lower repair costs. Below are some frequent water heater problems that our customers reach out to us about:

Water Leaks

Perhaps the most common water heater issue, a leak can be caused by tank corrosion and small cracks. A leak can also be due to a loose water connection, blocked overflow pipe, or faulty pressure relief valve.

A Lack of Hot Water

In an electric water heater, this can indicate a failed heating element or loose electrical connection. Gas water heaters can develop pilot light or gas connection issues. In a newer unit, an electronic ignition system can prevent water from heating if it doesn’t kick in.

The Tank Reheats Slowly

The thermostat may be set too low. While resetting it can resolve the problem, other reasons include low gas pressure, a poor gas connection, a dirty burner, or a blocked vent flue. Perhaps the water heater’s capacity isn’t sufficient for your home.

Low Hot Water Pressure

In an older home, this can mean a smaller diameter pipe was installed; a full repiping is needed to fix the problem. A closed or blocked water inlet valve can also cause low water pressure. Or, check if your sink has an aerator; clean it out if it’s clogged.

The Hot Water Smells

Bacteria in the water supply can cause it to smell. Increasing the water temperature can kill off the bacteria, but don’t leave it high for long. Turn it down after an hour to avoid burns. Have the tank professionally cleaned if the problem persists.

Hot Water Appears Dirty

Brown, rusty, or otherwise discolored water can mean the anode rod needs to be replaced or corrosion is building up in the tank.

The skilled technicians at Comfort Air, Inc. Mechanical and Plumbing Contractors are equipped to resolve any issue with your water heater. Whether you're dealing with a problem related to the pilot light or burner, or if you require a new anode rod, our team is here to help.

  • Insulate the water heater tank effectively. 
  • Insulate both the water inlet and outlet pipes. 
  • Reduce the water temperature to 120℉. 
  • Regularly replace the air intake filter. 
  • Check the temperature pressure relief valve. 
  • Maintain a clean and unobstructed area around the heater. 
  • Familiarize yourself with the locations of the disconnect switch, water shut-off, and gas valve. 
  • Arrange for professional maintenance once a year.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can an Old Water Heater Be Fixed?

    An older unit can often be repaired if just a single part is faulty, the job isn’t too costly, and the system hasn’t had too many repairs. A repair can also be practical if your energy bills are reasonable.

  • How Long Does Water Heater Repair Take?

    An experienced plumber can complete most water heater repairs in two to three hours.

  • How Long Do Water Heaters Last?

    Tank water heaters generally last from eight to 12 years. A well-maintained water heater can last 10 to 15 years, but that depends on how it’s cared for and the individual make or model. Tankless water heaters can last up to 20 years.

  • When Should I Replace Instead of Repair My Water Heater?

    Replace the water heater if it costs more to fix it than install a new unit. Or, if repairs would cost 50% or more of the price of a new unit, consider installing a new water heater. Even if the repair estimate is less than that, consider the unit’s age and how frequently it needs repairs.

  • Who Do I Call To Fix a Water Heater?

    A licensed plumber usually has the training to address most water heater issues. They can service heating elements, anode rods, piping, wiring, and gas lines.

HEAR FROM SATISFIED CLIENTS

I will definitely use them again. The technician showed me the problem- repaired it. He went out of his way to do several minor things that he did not have to do as was being helpful to me. My father is a general contractor but being 83 years old and lives in another city he doesn't get around as well anymore but he tells me what to look for when somebody comes to do a repair. I can't count how many times i have been taken advantage of in the past. Comfort Air was awesome and very reasonably priced. Very honest and that is so refreshing.

Only good experiences with this outfit. Our old AC broke down about six years ago, and two other companies couldn't identify the problem and submitted much higher bids to replace. Comfort Air was quick, reasonably priced, and efficient, and the unit works great. They didn't try to sell us an entire new HVAC system like other outfits did. Only one minor repair after six years, and that was handled quickly, responsibly, and efficiently. When we need to replace our now 40-year-old furnace, we'll definitely call this company.

★★★★★

They did a great job of replacing my old gas furnace/AC unit with a heat pump replacement. Job was done quickly and efficiently with a great price. Have already referred them to potential customers and will continue to do so. A very professional and competent group of workers!

Keira S.

★★★★★

Came out, figured out the problem with my furnace immediately and fixed it. Super honest and trust worthy. Replace the my circuit board and I have heat again ($400 job). Had another company come out before them and told me I needed a new full HVAC system that would cost me $25K.

We had excellent, prompt service on a very hot day. We will continue to call Comfort Air.
