Benefits of Professional Water Heater Repair
Having a functional water heater affects both your home’s efficiency and your budget. You depend on hot water daily to bathe, do laundry, wash dishes, and effectively clean your home. When your water heater isn’t working properly or completely breaks down, it jeopardizes the efficiency of your home. Some of the most common benefits of water heater repairs include:
- Lower utility bills. When your water heater struggles to provide your home with hot water, it’s likely going to result in a spike in your energy bill. Water heater repairs will ensure that your system is operating both effectively and efficiently.
- Consistent hot water. If your water heater is operating while in need of maintenance or repairs, it will struggle to meet your day-to-day demands. This could cause inconsistencies in the quality of hot water flowing to the various appliances throughout your home.
- Peace of mind. When you schedule professional repairs for your water heater, you can rest assured that everything from gas lines to replacement valves has been handled by a certified technician and will continue to operate safely in your home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heater Repair
With more than 70 years providing quality water heater repair services for our customers, we’ve seen it all. That’s why we’ve compiled some of the most commonly asked questions we receive concerning water heater repair services.
Why isn’t my water getting hot?
While it may vary slightly from model to model, if your water heater has been turned off or has just been installed, it will typically take about 45 minutes to heat up. This is dependent on its gallon capacity and BTU input, but if you are still without hot water after an hour, there is an issue with your water heater that may require repairs.
Why do I run out of hot water in the shower?
This could be due to your pressure balance faucet in the shower rather than your water heater itself. Pressure balance and temperature control shower faucets tend to reduce the water pressure while using the faucet. A temperature control shower faucet uses a spring that adjusts the water pressure when it senses a rise in the water temperature; when the spring gets old, it could affect the temperature of your water.
How can I avoid damage to my water heater during the colder months?
Cold temperatures can cause the metal on your water heater to expand and contract, which could lead to damage and eventual leaks. This is more likely to occur if your water heater is on the older side or is located in an area of your home that is unheated. To prevent this, schedule routine winter maintenance for your water heater and be sure to drain your water heater at least once per year to rid it of damaging sediment buildup.
Are there any DIY water heater repairs I can perform on my own?
There are some simple fixes that can be accomplished without enlisting the help of a professional, such as adjusting the water heater thermostat, adding insulation, or flushing your hot water tank. However, plumbing systems are complicated and some water heater repairs require gas line attention which should only be performed by a certified professional. If you ever attempt to repair your water heater and are unsure what to do next, give your local plumber a call and they can quickly assist you when you need it.
Why does my water heater make a “rumbling” noise?
This noise is usually the result of expanding water escaping from sediment at the bottom or your water heater tank. While this isn’t dangerous, it can be a sign that your water heater has lost efficiency. As sediment build up in your tank, more heat is lost up the chimney and less gets into your water. Overheating the bottom of your tank also affects the overall service life of your water heater.
