Are you tired of chilly showers or a water heater that isn’t functioning correctly? Look only as far as Bedrock Plumbing for same-day water heater repairs, available 24/7, including holidays.
Repair and Replacement Services
Water heaters normally last 8 to 15 years; modern types may last much longer with appropriate maintenance. Whether your water heater needs replacing, leaks or has stopped working, Bedrock Plumbing is here to help. We specialize in both tankless and conventional water heater installation and repair.
Sediment buildup and other issues with your water heater reduce its effectiveness and shorten its lifespan. Proper installation and regular maintenance can prevent these issues and ensure that your water heater continues providing hot water for years.
How Do Water Heaters Work?
Water heaters are classified into two types: tankless and conventional.
Conventional
Most people use traditional water heaters, big cylinders often housed in basements. A plunge tube brings cold water into the tank, which is then heated by a heating element or gas burner.
The heated water rises to the tank’s surface and is ready to use. Additional cold water is fed to the bottom of the tank as you consume hot water, and a thermostat signals the burner to switch on when additional heat is required to replace the supply.
Tankless
Tankless water heaters operate on demand without a hot water storage tank. When hot water is needed, a gas burner or electric coil heats it as it flows through the heater and onto the shower, faucet, or appliance. Tankless water heaters are sometimes known as “on-demand” since they only switch on when required.
Tankless types are more costly upfront but last longer and consume less energy.
Our plumbers can assist you in selecting the ideal water heater for your home.
Why Isn’t Your Water Heater Working?
The most common issues with conventional water heaters include:
Inadequate Hot Water
This is often caused by a low hot water recovery rate or an undersized tank for your household’s needs.
Discolored Water
Rust in your pipes or water heater is indicated by discolored water. This suggests that indicators of leaking will develop soon, and a specialist should be contacted.
Can Tankless Water Heaters Be Repaired?
If the damage is not too severe, tankless water heaters can be repaired to function properly. The following are the most typical problems with tankless water heaters:
Faulty Heating Elements
Both gas and electricity-powered tankless water heaters have the potential for heating element failure. A service technician can fix this issue; repairs are typically relatively easy once the problem is identified.
Mineral or Sediment Buildup
Your water heater is susceptible to sediment accumulation and component failure if you have hard water. An expert can diagnose and fix this issue if you have hard water problems.
Ignition Failure or Flame Failure
Both of these problems need the assistance of an expert. Tankless water heaters powered by gas or electricity may have problems starting, but our service technicians can determine the main reason and perform the required repairs.
When Should You Replace Your Water Heater?
Water heater maintenance plans may greatly minimize the cost of repairs. However, if your water heater is older than ten years, you should replace it as soon as possible. A typical water heater has an average lifetime of 8 to 12 years.
When we visit your house for repairs and your water heater is over ten years old, we will provide you with alternatives for the best and most reasonable replacement. Bedrock Plumbing values your investments and will work with you to maximize their value.
