- Fuel type: The type of fuel used affects the water heater’s size, energy efficiency, and annual operating costs.
- Size: A properly sized water heater will provide enough hot water for your household and maximize efficiency.
- Energy efficiency: You can compare the energy efficiency of different models to maximize savings.

Water Heater Repair F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Common Problems With Water Heaters?
Common water heater problems include a lack of hot water, water that’s too hot or not hot enough, strange noises coming from the unit, and water discoloration or a bad smell. A lack of hot water can often be caused by a malfunctioning thermostat or heating element. If the water is too hot, the thermostat may be set too high or malfunctioning.
Noises, such as popping sounds, may indicate sediment buildup in the tank. Rusty or smelly water can be a sign of a failing anode rod or corrosion within the tank. Regular maintenance can help prevent these common issues and prolong the lifespan of your water heater.
How Long Does a Water Heater Typically Last?
The average lifespan of a water heater is about 10 to 15 years, depending on factors like the type of water heater, the quality of installation, and how well it’s maintained. Tankless water heaters tend to last longer than traditional tank models, with a typical lifespan of 20 years or more. Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup and inspecting components, can help extend the life of your water heater.
If your water heater is nearing the end of its expected lifespan and experiencing frequent issues, it may be more cost-effective to replace it rather than continually repairing it.
How Can I Prevent My Water Heater From Breaking Down?
Preventing water heater breakdowns requires regular maintenance and prompt attention to potential issues. Flushing the tank annually helps remove sediment buildup, which can damage the tank and reduce efficiency. Checking the anode rod every 2 to 3 years helps prevent rust and corrosion inside the tank. Keeping the thermostat set at 120°F can prevent overheating and excessive wear on components.
Additionally, ensuring the water heater is free of leaks, inspecting the heating elements, and making sure the area around the unit is clear can help extend the life of your water heater and prevent costly repairs.
What Should I Do if My Water Heater is Leaking?
If your water heater is leaking, turn off the power supply to the unit immediately to prevent further damage. For electric heaters, this means shutting off the circuit breaker, and for gas heaters, turning off the gas supply. Next, shut off the water supply to the tank to stop more water from leaking. Leaks are often caused by a broken valve, a cracked tank, or loose connections, and they should be addressed by a professional as soon as possible.
Continuing to use a leaking water heater can lead to water damage and increased repair costs. A qualified technician will be able to identify the source of the leak and repair or replace the affected components.
