Unlike heating and air conditioning systems, there\u2019s no \u201cseason\u201d for water heaters. The average water heater does more work during winter, but it still operates almost every day of the year to meet a household\u2019s needs.<\/p>\nUnlike heating and air conditioning systems, there\u2019s no \u201cseason\u201d for water heaters.

This means that your water heater could start to experience trouble at any time. Regular maintenance can help to prevent this, but there\u2019s no way to make any water heater 100% malfunction-free. We have some tips on how to spot early on that your water heater is having problems. That way you can schedule timely repair services with our team.<\/p>\n
The only place water should be escaping from a water heater is through the pressure relief valve. Otherwise, any sign of leaking water is reason to call for repairs right away. It\u2019s possible you have condensation on the outside of the water heater, which may not necessarily mean trouble\u2014but you want to make absolutely sure you\u2019re not dealing with leaks.<\/p>\n
You may find these sounds alarming\u2014as if the water heater tank is about to burst\u2014but the danger is probably not that<\/em> extreme. This is, however, an indication of a problem in the tank. You may have hard water affecting the water heater or sediment is building up along the bottom of the tank. The trouble could also be hot and cold water mixing at the top of the tank.<\/p>\n A water heater is built with defenses against corrosion. When corrosion starts, it sometimes signals the water heater is too old and needs to be replaced. In other cases, corroded parts (such as the heat exchanger) can be replaced rather than retiring the entire system. Have professionals on the job as soon as possible to find out what needs to be done.<\/p>\n If your household isn\u2019t getting its standard amount of hot water and people are starting to go with lukewarm morning showers, the water heater is losing power. This could be due to problems with the gas burners, the circulator pump, sediment build-up, or a host of other problems that need a professional to diagnose and repair them.<\/p>\n If you find that the water from the hot water taps isn\u2019t warming up to the levels you like it, check on the aquastat of the water heater. Don\u2019t turn the aquastat up higher than 140\u00b0F, since this presents a potential scalding hazard. If you can\u2019t tell why the water is turning colder, have a professional check it out.<\/p>\n If you see rust coloration in the water and it\u2019s only coming from the hot water taps, you may have a water heater rusting out from the inside\u2014in which case, you\u2019ll need to schedule a water heater replacement as soon as possible.<\/p>\n Never hesitate to call for our water heater professionals when you think you have a water heater that\u2019s running into trouble.
