Common Signs You Need Water Heater Repair
Watch for these warning signs that your unit needs attention. If you spot one or more, it’s time to call Larry & Sons for water heater repair:
- No hot water or fluctuating temperatures: Your unit may have a broken thermostat, failed heating elements, or mineral buildup interfering with operation.
- Reduced hot water capacity: If you run out of hot water more quickly than usual, you’re likely dealing with inefficiency or a degraded heating system.
- Rusty or cloudy water: Corrosion inside the tank may contribute to rust and sediment in your tap water.
- Leaking or puddles around the tank: Even minor leaks can cause significant property damage if left unaddressed. Worn valves, loose fittings, or a rusted-out tank are common culprits.
- Unusual noises: Popping, banging, or rumbling sounds often point to sediment buildup or mineral deposits inside the tank.
- Frequent pilot outages or ignition issues: Gas models ignite the burner using a pilot light or an electronic ignition system. If the pilot won’t stay lit or your unit struggles to ignite, repairs may be necessary.
Benefits of Regular Water Heater Maintenance
Routine maintenance is important to protect your investment. We offer water heater checkups through our USA membership maintenance program, which bundles priority scheduling, discounts, and waived consultation fees for maximum value. Here are the top reasons to maintain your water heater:
- Improve efficiency: Flushing out sediment helps your heater use less energy.
- Extend system life: Replacing a worn anode rod or repairing a leaky valve helps prevent rust and early breakdowns.
- Lower your repair costs: Identifying minor issues early during a maintenance visit avoids the need for bigger, more expensive repairs later.
- Enjoy a consistent hot water supply: Maintenance promotes stable performance, even under heavy use.
- Boost safety: Your plumber checks for pressure issues, corrosion, and gas leaks to keep things running safely.
- Maintain warranty coverage: Many manufacturers require documented maintenance to uphold the warranty.
Types of Water Heaters We Install & Service
We have experience working with a wide range of water heaters. Choose us to install or service the following:
- Gas water heaters: This efficient fuel source provides fast heating and lower operating costs.
- Electric water heaters: If your home doesn’t have gas lines, or you want to pair your unit with solar panels, an electric water heater may be the best choice.
- Tank-style water heaters: Traditional tank water heaters have been a reliable choice for decades. They come in various sizes to meet your household’s usage.
