Common Signs
Time To Have It Looked At
Our professional and friendly technicians can properly diagnose and service water heaters of all makes and models. We can perform general maintenance such as a flush and fill to reduce or remove sediment, repair leaky valves, and even replace the entire water heater if that’s necessary. Replacing a water heater that is no longer working well or leaking is generally the way to go due to their short lifespan.
So, if your water heater is 10 years old or more, it’s time to have it looked at and evaluated by a trained professional. Common signs it is time to consider a repair or replacement include running out of hot water too quickly, hot water just isn’t hot enough (which could actually be just a simple setting on the thrmostat).
