What Can Go Wrong With Water Heaters

Water heaters are basic pieces of equipment and only have a few main parts. Cold water enters the tank and is heated by a heating element, which is usually a gas burner or an electric element. A thermostat keeps the tank water hot, usually between 120 and 140 degrees. Many of the problems with water heaters are due to the failure of one of these elements. Sediment and buildup can obstruct portions of the tank, burners can fail, the thermostat can break, and so on. For experienced plumbers, all of these problems are easy to diagnose, but not all of them are fixable.

When It's Time To Replace Your Water Heater

 When the tank itself corrodes and leaks, for instance, it's time to get a new water heater. Fortunately, new water heaters are much more efficient than older ones, so you will be saving more money on your water bill. Models that meet Energy Star standards can save you up to 20% on your energy bill.

Tankless water heaters and solar water heaters can be even more energy efficient and may offer even more money back in the form of federal tax credits.

Let A Professional Perform A Water Heater Repair in Mountain View CA

Water heaters aren't standalone devices. Other plumbing components, such as supply pipes, the venting system, and the water heater mount, may need to be upgraded when you replace an old water heater. If you attempt to replace a water heater yourself and make a mistake, you could end up costing yourself much more than you could have saved.

It's always a good idea to consult with a professional when your water heater is broken. Specialists can not only advise you on your potential options, but they'll be able to do the dirty work for you. To schedule on-site service with one of our plumbers, call 650-265-4155 today.
