FAQs About Water Heaters
If your water heater is noisy, inconsistent, or not performing as expected, the questions below explain how I service, repair, and install water heaters. I work with gas, electric, and tankless systems of all sizes, focusing on practical solutions that enhance performance, safety, and efficiency without overselling. Here are some answers to common questions about water heaters.
Hidden
Do you service gas, electric, and tankless units?
Yes. I repair, maintain, and install traditional tank heaters and tankless models. I also flush tanks, descale tankless units, and check safety devices and venting.
How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement?
Warning signs include lukewarm water, fluctuating temperatures, rumbling or popping sounds, rusty or discolored water, frequent resets, or visible leaks. I inspect the unit, review its age and condition, and then recommend repair or replacement based on the actual findings.
How often should a water heater be maintained?
Typically once a year. I drain and flush tanks to remove sediment, test anode rods, check thermostats and elements or gas controls, verify venting, and inspect valves and connections. For tankless, I descale and clean filters.
Can you help me size a new water heater correctly?
Yes. I look at usage patterns, fixture counts, high-demand appliances, and recovery needs. For tankless, I calculate flow rates and temperature rise to ensure consistent hot water.
Are efficiency upgrades worth it?
They often are. Proper sizing, insulation, mixing valves, recirculation options, or upgrading to a high-efficiency or tankless unit can reduce operating costs and enhance comfort. I outline payback and practical benefits before you decide.
Do you handle permits and code compliance when replacing units?
Yes. I install the current code, secure required permits when applicable, and ensure venting, gas, electrical, and drain pan requirements are met.
