Top Warning Signs You Need Water Heater Repair
The best way to prevent serious issues in your home is by detecting the need for hot water heater service before it becomes an emergency in your home. Some of the more common symptoms include:
- Fluctuating Water Temperatures: When you jump in the shower you expect a steady stream of hot water that never runs out. If instead, you’re getting temperatures that teeter between lukewarm and cool - before running out completely - it could be a warning sign that water heater repair is on the horizon.
- High Energy Bills: The older an appliance is, the less efficient it gets over time. If you’re seeing a steady increase in energy consumption on a monthly basis, and you’re not doing anything outside of the ordinary, that old water heater could be to blame.
- Water Leaks: Because water heaters are constantly in contact with water, they could deteriorate over time. When you find yourself with a hot water tank leaking water, it could lead to significant water damage to your home and belongings.
- Bathtub Stains: Is your water running rusty? Rust stains could be a real eyesore in your home and it could also be damaging porcelain found in sinks, tubs, and toilets. If there’s rust in your water it could mean that your water heater is deteriorating - a serious concern for any homeowner.
- Low Capacity: The water heater that was originally installed in your home was not designed to keep up with a growing family and modern appliances. If you’re continually running out of hot water mid-shower, then chances are your unit is not properly sized for the needs of your home.
At Dan Wood Company we are your water heater service experts. We’ll always perform thorough inspections, find the source of the problem, and get it fixed in no time. If the issue is too severe and water heater replacement is needed, you can count on us to help you through the entire process.
