At TF Complete Heating & Cooling, we want to be a full-service partner for every aspect of your home comfort.
Home heating systems and air conditioning equipment get a lot of attention, but did you know that nearly one-fifth of the average U.S. home’s energy is consumed heating up water? Your home’s water heater has to run efficiently and reliably all year round. If your unit fails on you, the showers, hot water taps, washer and dishwasher go out of commission. Our team will work fast to arrange replacement equipment, but in the meantime, your quality of life will be severely diminished.
Let’s take a moment to discuss some standard water heater problems and how you can ensure your system is doing its job.
You might be able to solve some common water heater issues without calling in a professional HVAC technician. Some basic water heater upkeep and settings management can help you do this.
For example, if you’re experiencing odd-smelling or brownish water from your hot water taps — or if you’re hearing noises from your tank — the culprit may be accumulated sediment. You can address this by flushing your water heater (which we recommend you do every year). Check your owner’s manual for specific instructions. The general process involves shutting off the burner and closing the cold water intake valve, then attaching a hose to the drain valve and draining the tank. You then flush the tank with more cold water, close the drain valve and refill it.
Are you experiencing scalding water from your hot water taps and fixtures? You can fix this by turning down the thermostat setting on your unit.
We strongly recommend you contact us for regular water heater service. This can prevent some common water heater issues that require professional attention, including:
Our trained, experienced team can keep your system running efficiently, extend its service life and prevent unnecessary breakdowns.
The average storage tank water heater lasts from eight to 12 years before needing to be replaced. The absolute worst time to replace a water heater is after it’s already failed. Your choices of new systems will be limited because everyone will be scrambling to get your hot water working again.
If you’re noticing multiple service issues, frequent hot water loss or water leaking from your tank, it’s probably time to get a new water heater.
