  When Do You Need Water Heater Repairs?

  Unless you’re a plumber yourself, you may not know what to look for if your water heater is at risk for failure. There are certain things, like no hot water in your home or leaks that are easy to spot.

  You need Heritage to come to your home and examine your water heater for other things you might be missing. We’ll explain what repairs are needed and if it’s time to throw in the towel and replace the unit.

  We encourage you to look for these signs of water heater failure and reach out if you notice anything amiss, such as:

  • • Water gets too hot or too cold.
    • Any water that tastes or smells funny.
    • Finding sediment, rust, or other debris in water coming from your faucets or shower.
    • Corrosion build-up on your faucets or showerheads.

  Any sort of water leakage coming from the unit itself or the surrounding area.

• How do I know if my water heater needs repair?

  Signs your water heater needs attention include inconsistent water temperatures, water that takes too long to heat up, rumbling or popping noises from the tank, rusty or discolored hot water, visible leaks around the base of the unit, and a noticeable increase in your energy bills. Heritage can inspect your water heater and determine whether a repair or replacement is the best course of action.

• How long do water heaters typically last?

  Traditional tank water heaters generally last 8 to 12 years, while tankless water heaters can last 20 years or more with proper maintenance.
