Water Heater Services by American

If you require water heater services, a good way to know for sure is to inspect, troubleshoot, and take a close look at your unit to understand what the problem might be. In fact, it’s recommended you perform regular maintenance on your appliances and regularly inspect them so they can last longer or you can catch more serious things before they happen, like rust or leaks.

While inspecting your water heater, look out for the most common issues that may end up resulting in seeking out water heater services, such as water temperature issues, leaks, discolored water, and odd noises. For example, if your water is cold, it could be because of a lack of power, a faulty thermostat, or a faulty heating element. If the water is warm but not hot enough, it could be because of an undersized water heater. And if the water is much too hot, then the thermostat might be set too high.

As expected, leaks are never a good sign and should be treated immediately. They could be caused by a number of different things such as faulty water pressure, overheating, a stuck valve, loose heating element bolts, a bad gasket, or a leaking water tank. While you’re inspecting and maintaining your water heater, be sure to tighten bolts and connections, but even making them too tight could cause a leak, so keep that in mind.

Rusty water can be a sign of corrosion of your tank’s inner lining, often caused by a failing anode rod which might need to be replaced, and if you hear any weird noises it might mean sediment build up. This is probably the sort of issue you can attempt to do yourself by means of flushing the water heater, but if you’re not up to the task, you may need a professional to perform water heater services for you. In fact, a good plumber can help repair your water heater if it’s a small enough issue, but they will also tell you if they recommend replacing it entirely for something that will save you water and therefore money in the long run.
