Do I Need Water Heater Replacement or Repair?
If your hot water is not that hot, you might be wondering whether you need to call a plumber for water heater replacement or repair. Typically, you can tell if you need water heater replacement or repair if you’re experiencing the following issues:
- Water that is too hot
- Water that is not hot enough
- Not enough hot water
- Water that is discolored
- Water that is smelly
- Water that contains rust or other sediment
- Leaks coming from the water heater
- Noises coming from the water heater
When your hot water is not that hot, it’s possible that you have a leak in your water heater. Alternatively, you might have a problem with mineral deposits or other hard water contaminants building up in your water heater—reducing its efficiency.
Additionally, when your hot water is not that hot, you could have problems with your water heater’s thermostat. If this is the case, you probably only need to adjust your thermostat settings or replace the thermostat if it’s faulty. Call us if you need help with this.
Ultimately, if your hot water is not that hot and you’ve had your water heater for more than 10 to 13 years, it’s probably time to upgrade to a newer, more efficient model.
