FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heater Repair

Is it better to repair or replace my water heater?

It depends on the age of the unit and the type of problem. If your water heater is under 8-10 years old and the repair is straightforward, repair is usually the more cost-effective option. Our technicians will give you an honest recommendation either way.

Why is my water heater not producing hot water?

This can be caused by a failed heating element, a tripped thermostat, a pilot light or ignition issue, sediment buildup, or a wiring problem. Our technicians can diagnose the exact cause and repair it quickly.

What Is The Average Lifespan Of A Water Heater?

The average life expectancy of a water heater is around eight to twelve years but it is important to take into account the manufacturer’s suggested service life of your particular model as well when trying to estimate its lifespan.

Why Does My Water Heater Take So Long To Heat Up?

Water heaters can take a long time to heat up for many reasons. Some houses have longer pipelines, which means it takes longer for warm water to reach the faucet. If you find that it takes awhile for your water to get hot, call a plumbing technician to help resolve the issue.

What Would Cause A Water Heater To Stop Working?

The most common reason a water heater will stop working is sediment buildup, especially as the water heater ages. When water is heated, minerals like calcium and magnesium collect along the sides of the tank and the burner. If these minerals are not filtered out of the water heater, they form a sediment barrier that will settle on the burner and seriously affect your water heater’s performance.

Is It Dangerous To Have A Leaking Water Heater?

It can be dangerous to have a leaking water heater. If the Temperature and Pressure valve fails to turn off your water heater when the temperature or pressure is too high, your water heater could explode. If you notice your water heater is leaking, call a trusted plumber at Academy Air Heating, Cooling, Plumbing and Electric as soon as possible, to be safe.

What Is The Best Way To Maintain My Water Heater?

Regular maintenance is important for keeping your water heater in good condition. To keep it running efficiently, you should drain a few gallons of hot water from it twice a year to remove sediment buildup. You should also check its connections for any loose wires or pipes and ensure that it’s properly insulated.

Is It Worth It To Repair A Hot Water Heater?

In most cases, it is worth it to repair a hot water heater! Signs you need to replace your water heater include old age or if frequent repairs have been needed. Otherwise, as long as the repair isn’t too expensive, it is generally worth it to repair a hot water heater.
