What are some common signs that our water heater needs repair?
We should keep an eye out for signs like inconsistent water temperature, strange noises coming from the unit, leaks around the base, or discolored water. If we notice any of these issues, it might be time to call us for a repair.
How long does a water heater repair usually take?
Typically, our repairs can be completed within a few hours, depending on the issue. We always aim to provide efficient service, so we’ll do our best to get your water heater up and running as quickly as possible.
What should we do if our water heater breaks down?
First, we should turn off the power supply to the unit to prevent any further damage. If it’s a gas water heater, we’ll turn off the gas supply as well. Then, we can give us a call, and we’ll arrange for same-day service to diagnose and fix the problem.
Are there any maintenance tips we can follow to prevent future water heater issues?
Absolutely! We recommend flushing the tank annually to remove sediment buildup, checking the anode rod regularly, and inspecting for leaks or corrosion. Regular maintenance can extend the life of our water heater and help avoid unexpected repairs.
Is it worth repairing an old water heater, or should we consider replacing it?
It often depends on the age and condition of the unit. If our water heater is over 10 years old and requires frequent repairs, it might be more cost-effective to replace it. However, we can help assess the situation and guide us on the best course of action.
