What Are the Most Common Water Heater Repairs in Kingman?
A faulty water heater can mean that you’re getting water that isn’t hot enough or no hot water at all. Either way, the result is an inconvenience in the home and difficulty doing basic everyday tasks. Our technical specialists have worked with just about every water heater problem possible—and fixed them all. But there are some problems that we see come up again and again.
Here are the most common:
- Water isn’t hot enough. This can be frustrating because you may put up with it for weeks or even months before deciding it needs to be fixed. Luckily it’s usually a fast, easy fix. We see this a lot on traditional electric water heaters, which use a pair of electric heating elements to heat the tank. Often, one of the two burns out, resulting in warm but not hot water. We can replace it or diagnose the true problem if this isn’t it.
- No hot water at all. Depending on the unit, this could mean both of your heating elements burned out or it could have a variety of other causes. We can isolate the cause and get you back to steaming hot water in no time.
- Erratic water heating/long waits for hot water. This can also have multiple causes, but we often see it in gas-heated water tanks. Ash and dirt can build up in the burner assembly, causing pilot light and burner problems—which reduces the efficiency of the whole unit. You can often tell this is the culprit if you see higher energy bills even as your hot water capacity declines.
- Leaking around the tank. This can be normal wear and tear of the hoses and lines involved in a water heater. It can also involve the pressure relief valve, which is supposed to let water out only if the internal temperature and pressure get too high. If this valve has worn out, it may be dumping water for no reason. We can find the problem and make your water heater leak-proof in no time.
Water heater problems can arise due to a water heater being old and needing replacement, having been installed the first time improperly, and even from flooding in basements, which can be significantly more dangerous. When we arrive, we’ll find out what caused the problem and start fixing it.
If you don’t see your problem above, there’s no need to worry. Our plumbers can help you figure out what’s happening with your water heater. Our experienced plumbers are available by phone and can answer any questions you have. They can also help determine if you need a service call or not.
Do You Work with Tankless Water Heaters?
Yes. We have seen and solved many problems with tankless water heaters. Tankless heaters make it easier for us to do our job because of their modern design: all the important parts we need to see and fix are in one place. An added perk for homeowners is that some tankless heaters can be controlled by an app on your phone.
Tankless heaters are great for two reasons:
- Energy savings. They dramatically reduce your water heating costs because there is no “tank” of water for the unit to continually heat and reheat all day long. Instead, water is only heated when you actually turn on a hot water fixture. As a result, you could save up to 34% of energy which in turn could also lower your bill for utilities.
- Comfort. A tankless heater can reduce the “wait time” for hot water for your shower or any other use. You should never “run out” of hot water because it is continually heated for as long as you leave the hot water running. As long as your unit is at the right capacity for the number of people in your home, that should mean no one ever has to settle for cold or lukewarm water again.
Since tankless heaters are often (not always) mounted outside the home, they are much more common in Kingman than in other parts of the country. We work on tankless heaters on a regular basis and offer a full range of services, including:
- Repair of faulty or non-performing units
- Safe, fast, code-compliant installation of new units
- We can assess the proper size, capacity, and placement of your tankless heater and help you get the right unit
