Signs You Need Water Heater Repair

A well-functioning water heater is essential for daily comfort and convenience. Knowing the signs that your water heater needs repair can prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly replacements.

Here are some common signs that it’s time to call Koch & White Heating & Cooling for professional water heater services:

  • Inconsistent water temperature: If your water temperature fluctuates frequently, it could indicate a malfunctioning heating element or thermostat.
  • Strange noises: Banging, popping, or rumbling sounds from your water heater may indicate sediment buildup or failing components.
  • Discolored water: Rusty or murky water coming from your taps could mean there’s corrosion in the tank or failing anode rods.
  • Low hot water pressure: Reduced water pressure might be due to sediment buildup or issues with your water heater’s plumbing connections.
  • Leaks or moisture: To prevent further damage, immediately address any issues with water pooling around your water heater or visible leaks.
  • Unpleasant odors: Foul-smelling water can indicate bacterial growth within the tank, often due to a failing anode rod or prolonged inactivity.
  • Age of the water heater: If your system is over 10 to 15 years old, it may be time for a professional inspection to ensure it operates efficiently and safely.

Don’t wait for a minor issue to turn into a major problem. If you’ve noticed these signs, call Koch & White Heating & Cooling to schedule water heater repair in Ann Arbor, MI.

Water Heater Repair FAQs

Why is my water taking so long to get hot?

The greater the distance between your faucet and the water heater, the longer it takes for hot water to arrive. If it seems excessively slow, it might be due to sediment buildup in the tank or a malfunction in the water heater.

How can I prevent future repairs?

Regular maintenance ensures your water heater stays in optimal condition, reducing wear and tear and catching minor problems early. This practice helps maximize the system’s lifespan.
