Common Problems

Common Signs of Water Heater Problems

Notice one of these? Call in a pro before a small issue turns into a cold shower or a costly leak.

!

Lack of Hot Water

Cold water when you expect hot is a clear sign of trouble. The cause is often a failed heating element, a broken thermostat or a pilot light issue. We find it and restore your hot water supply.

!

Poor Water Pressure

Weak pressure at several fixtures can start at the water heater, where sediment buildup restricts flow. We flush the tank, clear blockages and inspect key components.

!

Rusty, Discolored Water

Reddish-brown water can mean parts are corroding, often a worn-out anode rod and, in serious cases, the tank itself. We inspect your tankless or traditional system and recommend the right fix.

!

High Energy Bills

A water heater that struggles to heat costs more to run. Sediment, dirty burners or scaling are common causes. A thorough inspection gets your system running efficiently again.

FAQ

Water Heater Services FAQ

Common questions about water heater installation, repair and maintenance. Tap a question to see the answer, or find your local PlumbingPro for a quote.

What water heater services do you provide?

PlumbingPro locations provide complete water heater services, including new installation of tank and tankless water heaters, replacement of old or failing units, emergency repairs for no-hot-water situations, annual maintenance and flushing, expansion tank installation, anode rod replacement, thermostat and heating element repairs, gas and electric water heater service, and professional inspections. Our technicians work with all major brands. Many PlumbingPro locations also offer commercial water heater service; contact your local PlumbingPro for availability.

How much does water heater installation cost?

Water heater installation costs vary by type and size, and pricing varies by location. Factors that affect the price include the size and fuel type of the new unit (gas or electric), the flow rate a tankless system needs, removal and disposal of your old unit, permit fees, venting or gas line modifications, electrical upgrades, and labor. A tank water heater generally costs less to install than a tankless system. Your local PlumbingPro will give you a quote before work begins.

Should I choose a tank or tankless water heater?

Both tank and tankless water heaters have advantages. Traditional tank heaters cost less upfront, are reliable, and easier to maintain. Tankless heaters provide endless hot water on demand, save energy, last longer up to 20 years, and take up less space but cost more initially. Consider your household size, hot water usage patterns, available space, budget, and long term energy savings. We assess your specific needs and recommend the best option for your situation.

How long do water heaters typically last?

Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years with proper maintenance, while tankless water heaters can last 15 to 20 years or longer. Lifespan depends on water quality, maintenance frequency, usage patterns, and original equipment quality. Signs you need replacement include age over 10 years, rusty or discolored water, strange rumbling noises, leaks around the base, inconsistent water temperatures, or reduced hot water capacity. Annual maintenance significantly extends water heater life.

Do you offer emergency water heater repair?

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency water heater repair service for urgent situations like a complete loss of hot water, a leaking water heater that could cause property damage, gas odors near a gas water heater, or pilot light problems. Our experienced technicians respond quickly to diagnose and fix the problem. We understand how disruptive losing hot water can be and prioritize emergency calls. If you smell gas, leave your home and call your gas utility first.

How often should water heaters be serviced?

Water heaters should be professionally serviced annually to maintain performance and extend lifespan. Annual maintenance includes flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup, checking and possibly replacing the anode rod that prevents corrosion, testing the pressure relief valve, inspecting gas connections or electrical elements, checking for leaks, and adjusting temperature settings for safety and efficiency. Regular maintenance prevents unexpected breakdowns and improves energy efficiency.
