Tips to Tackle Water Heater Issues
Regular Maintenance: Perform regular maintenance to prevent issues. Flush your water heater tank annually to remove sediment buildup.
Check the Thermostat: If you have temperature issues, check the thermostat settings. Make sure they are set correctly and adjust as needed.
Inspect for Leaks: Regularly inspect your water heater for leaks. Check connections, valves, and the tank for any water signs.
Monitor Water Quality: If you notice discoloured or foul-smelling water, flush the tank. This can remove sediment and buildup of bacteria, improving water quality.
Listen for Noises: Pay attention to any unusual noises. It’s a sign of sediment buildup if you hear banging or popping. Flushing the tank can often resolve this.
Check the Pilot Light: If the pilot light goes out for gas heaters, try relighting it following the manufacturer’s instructions. If it won’t stay lit, inspect the thermocouple and gas supply.
Inspect the Anode Rod: Check the anode rod every few years. If it’s corroded, replace it to prevent tank rust and extend the heater’s lifespan.
Insulate the Heater: Insulate your water heater and pipes to improve efficiency and reduce heat loss, especially in colder climates.
Test the Pressure Relief Valve: Lift and release the pressure relief valve handle every few months. If it doesn’t release water when you lift the handle, replace it.
Call a Professional: Feel free to call a professional if you need clarification on any issue beyond basic troubleshooting. They can accurately diagnose and fix problems, ensuring your water heater operates safely and efficiently.
Following these tips, you can tackle common water heater issues and maintain a reliable hot water supply in your home.

It would help if you serviced a water heater at least once a year
Our technician repairs a water heater by first diagnosing the problem, whether it's no hot water, inadequate heating, or leaks. They then turn off the power and water supply, drain the tank, and replace faulty parts such as the heating elements, thermostat, or pressure relief valve. After flushing the tank to remove sediment, they refill it, restore power, and test the heater to ensure it's working correctly.
Regular water heater maintenance is necessary to extend its lifespan, improve efficiency, prevent leaks, ensure safety, maintain water quality, and reduce repair costs by addressing issues early.
To check if a water heater is working, turn on a hot water tap to see if hot water flows. Ensure the thermostat is set correctly, and verify that the pilot light is lit for gas heaters. Listen for any slight noises indicating heating activity, and inspect for leaks around the tank and connections. Finally, carefully touch the tank to see if it's warm but not too hot.
Traditional tank models typically last 8 to 12 years. Tankless water heaters generally last longer, often between 15 and 20 years. Regular maintenance can help extend the lifespan of any water heater.
