Signs You Need to Repair Your Water Heater
Several signs indicate that your water heater may need repairs:
- Inadequate Hot Water: If your water heater isn't providing sufficient hot water or the supply is inconsistent, it might signal issues with the heating system or thermostat.
- Unusual Sounds: Strange noises like banging or rumbling from the heater could indicate sediment buildup or internal problems.
- Leaks: Any water pooling around the base or dripping from connections suggests a leak in the tank or faulty valves that need attention.
- Rusty Water: Discolored or rusty water from hot taps could point to corrosion inside the tank, requiring repair or replacement.
- Foul Odors: Foul-smelling water could indicate bacterial growth within the tank, necessitating prompt action.
- Temperature Fluctuations: Unexpected changes in water temperature may be due to thermostat or heating element issues.
- Age: As water heaters age (around 8-12 years for conventional tanks), they become more prone to breakdowns, signaling potential repairs or replacement.
- High Energy Bills: A sudden spike in energy costs without explanation could indicate the heater's inefficiency due to malfunctioning components.
- Visible Damage: Dents, cracks, or corrosion on the tank or pipes need inspection and repair to prevent further damage.
- Pilot Light Problems: Gas heater issues like frequent pilot light outages or unusual flame colors may indicate repair needs.
If any of these signs are present, it's crucial to address them promptly to prevent further damage and ensure the heater's continued efficiency and safety. Consulting a professional plumber or technician for accurate diagnosis and repairs is recommended.

Water Heater Maintenance & Repairs
No one wants to spend more than necessary on utility bills, especially a growing business. To increase the efficiency of your water heater and lower costs, it’s important to schedule regular maintenance. These services typically include flushing your heater biannually to remove mineral buildup and prevent clogs and testing the temperature release value so the pressure inside your tank heater is manageable. By lowering the temperature by ten degrees or more, you can save 5% on energy costs.
When to Replace Your Water Heater
If you’re not receiving any hot water or notice a leak, it may be time for a repair. If your heater is electric, a tripped breaker may prevent it from receiving power, or your heating element may need to be replaced. Always check breakers and try resetting your heater if you’re not receiving hot water. If this doesn’t work, trust our professionals for expert water heater services in Bossier City. If you have a leak, check all the connections and tighten them if they’re loose. Otherwise, your tank may have corroded or aged past its prime. We can help you decide which water heater meets your needs when it’s time for a replacement.
Although replacing a water heater isn't always easy - and can be expensive upfront - switching out an older model for a newer one will save you money in the long run due to increased energy efficiency. Newer models are designed with sophisticated insulation layers and have higher recovery rates than older tanks, so they use less energy to keep the water heated throughout the day. In addition, updated technology allows for more precise temperature controls which can help reduce energy costs even further if used properly. Replacing an old water heater with a new one is an investment that could pay off in lower utility bills and better performance over time.
