Faulty Thermostat
A malfunctioning thermostat can cause your water heater to heat water inconsistently or not at all. If the water is too hot, too cold, or fluctuates, the thermostat may need to be reset, calibrated, or replaced. A professional inspection ensures your hot water temperature stays safe and reliable.
Broken Heating Element
The heating element is responsible for warming the water in your tank. If it burns out or breaks, you may experience no hot water or lukewarm results. Replacing a faulty heating element is a common repair that restores full functionality to electric water heaters quickly and effectively.
Sediment Buildup
Over time, minerals from hard water settle at the bottom of the tank, forming sediment that reduces heating efficiency and can cause rumbling noises or even tank damage. Flushing the tank regularly removes sediment and helps extend the lifespan and performance of your water heater.
Pilot Light Issues
For gas water heaters, a pilot light that won’t stay lit often indicates a problem with the thermocouple or gas supply. Without a steady flame, the water won’t heat. Relighting the pilot or replacing worn components can quickly restore proper heating and ensure safe operation.
