Professional Water Heater Repair Services in Peterborough

A malfunctioning water heater will make even the simplest things such as washing the dishes or taking a bath difficult for you.

All our technicians have a lot of practical experience, working both on gas and electric, as well as tankless water heaters. We provide quality solutions to your problem, giving you peace of mind for good.

Common Water Heater Problems We Repair

Water heaters operate continuously throughout the day, which means there will be wear and tear of some of their parts over time. Detecting any problems at an early stage will enable you to prevent your unit from malfunctioning. Below are some of the common problems that we repair:

No Hot Water: These issues might be caused by the tripping of the circuit breaker, a faulty heating element, a faulty thermostat, or a faulty pilot light where gas water heaters are concerned.

Running out of Hot Water in Minutes: Using up all the hot water within a few minutes indicates that there is a high level of sediment in the tank or that the dip tube is not functioning properly.

Leaking Water from the Tank’s Base: This is a clear indication of a problem with your tank since leaking water indicates a loose fitting, a faulty relief valve or rusted parts of the tank.

Popping or Rumbling Noise: This indicates that there are mineral deposits at the base of the tank.

Rusty or Stained Water: Rusty-colored water indicates beginning signs of corrosion inside your water heater tank, whereas a rotten egg-like smell indicates bacterial reactions to the rod in your water heater tank.

Water Temperatures Fluctuating Too Much: Water temperatures changing from extremely hot to cold indicate that there is an issue with your thermostat or heated components.

Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair

You don’t have to wait until the unit stops producing any more hot water before considering hiring a professional. Being observant of the above-mentioned signs will keep you away from being surprised by cold water:

Your Unit Is Aging: Conventional tank units usually work for 8 to 12 years. If you have a unit in that range, any performance issue means that it requires servicing.

It Takes Too Long to Heat Water: Should you notice that it takes time to get hot water from your taps, then the heating elements/burners are becoming less effective.

Drop in Hot Water Pressure: Heavy presence of mineral deposits blocking hot water pipes can be the reason for low hot water pressure along with high cold water pressure.

Tripped Electric Circuit: When you find your electric heating system tripping the electric breaker repeatedly, it signifies that it is consuming excess power because of short-circuiting or faulty elements.

White Crusts or Drips In Valves: Formation of white crusts and drips near valves indicates either a pressure increase or failure of seals.

An Abrupt Rise In Utility Bills: If you experience any unusual rise in your gas/electricity bills, it indicates that your water heater is doing double the effort to function normally.

FAQs

How much time does the typical water heater repair take?

On average, all routine repairs take one to two hours to complete. Our service vehicles have the necessary components for replacements in stock so that we can repair the problem in a single visit when possible.

Should I choose water heater replacement or repair?

If your appliance is less than eight years old and repair requires minor efforts, then it would be more cost-effective for you. If your appliance has a rusty or damaged tank, then replacement would be a wiser choice.

Why am I getting no hot water from my heater?

This is because of the accumulation of mineral deposits in the tank, which occupy the place of hot water or due to a cracked dip tube in the tank.

Is there anything urgent about the leaking of my water heater?

Yes, any kind of leakage means trouble and can cause damage to your floor and mould formation, along with being an indication that the tank itself might get ruptured.

How do I keep my water heater from malfunctioning again?

Having your tank flushed every year and having safety valves installed by a professional can increase the lifespan of your heating system.
