A common reason for a lack of hot water is a malfunctioning heating element. Electric water heaters rely on these elements, while gas water heaters depend on a functioning pilot light or igniter. Other possibilities include a tripped circuit breaker, thermostat issues, or sediment build-up within the tank. In any case, your J&R Herra Home Service plumber will get to the root of the issue and restore your water heater to good working order in no time.
It is recommended to flush your water heater once a year to remove sediment build-up. Regular flushing can help maintain efficiency and prolong the life of your unit.
If your water heater is leaking, turn off the power supply and water source to prevent any further damage. Next, call our professional plumbers at (630) 474-8661 right away to schedule a prompt repair.
The most common water heater problem is typically water leaking from the tank. This tends to happen to aging or neglected water heaters that have not been properly maintained by professionals. If you notice your water heater leaking, be sure to call our experts right away to schedule a repair.
The average life expectancy of a traditional tanked water heater is between 15 and 20 years. You can extend the lifespan of your water heater significantly by scheduling annual maintenance with certified professionals at J&R Herra Home Service.
Whether you should repair or replace your water heater will depend on a number of key factors. The age of your water heater will be the predominant determining factor of whether you should repair or replace. Additional factors are the extent of repair and energy efficiency. You can rely on our pros to determine the most cost-effective solution for your water heater.
An often overlooked sign that a water heater is in need of repair is if other appliances in your home that require hot water, like your dishwasher or washing machine, aren’t working properly. Therefore, if your dishwasher or washing machine aren’t working properly, you may have to look beyond your appliances at your water heater for the root of the problem.
The water that comes out of your home’s faucets or shower heads should be clear and clean in appearance. Any water that flows through your pipes that is cloudy, brown, or tinted in some other way could be a sign that there is an issue with your water heater that needs to be addressed by a professional.
In the event that the water in your home won’t heat up, you likely don’t need to look any farther than your water heater to discover the problem. Contact the professionals at J&R Herra Home Service today to schedule a repair.
Unfortunately, water heaters can at times spring a leak. Water heaters often leak due to a loose valve or fitting. If you notice any leaks coming from your home’s water heater, contact a professional to schedule a repair as soon as possible.
One of the more frustrating issues that homeowners can have with their water heater is it cycling on and off when it shouldn’t, leading to inconsistent water temperatures.
