Signs You Need Water Heater Repairs

Water heaters are a mystery to most homeowners. They make weird noises, spend most of their time out of sight and out of mind, and usually go ignored until a major problem surfaces. If you’re concerned about your heater or just want to know about red flags to keep an eye out for, we’re here to help.

Here are some signs that you should reach out for professional water heater repairs in Levittown, PA.

  • Lack of hot water: This feels pretty obvious to bring up, but yes, if your water heater isn’t able to produce hot water, something is amiss, usually with a heating element. This needs to be checked out by an expert.
  • Odd noises: Some noise during operation isn’t out of the ordinary, but loud popping, rumbling, or banging can highlight an issue with sediment at the bottom of the tank. As more sediment settles, your water heater’s efficiency will struggle.
  • Inconsistent temperatures: Sudden temperature swings usually indicate a problem with your thermometer or heating element and are a common precursor to other repair issues.
  • Rust or corrosion: If you’re able to see physical signs of flaking rust or corrosion on the outside of your water heater, the inside probably doesn’t look much better. This should be checked out by a professional sooner rather than later.
  • Pooling water: Check out the base of your water heater; any amount of pooling or standing water requires prompt attention.
  • Higher energy bills: Higher bills at the end of the month without drastic changes in your hot water use are usually caused by some kind of inefficiency or repair need within your water heater. As components fail, your heater will work harder to keep up, expending more energy.

Common Water Heater Repairs We Fix in Levittown

When you’ve been in business for as long as we have, you start to see some repairs more often than others. Here are common water heater repairs in Levittown, PA, that we regularly see and fix.

  • Heating element replacements: Single-handedly, one of the most common repairs we see. Be it a thermocouple in a gas unit or a heating element in an electric heater, these minor fixes are quick and easy (most of the time).
  • Thermostat fixes: When your heater’s thermostat acts up, it throws off your heating. This is another relatively harmless fix that can be done very quickly without being majorly expensive.
  • Tank cleaning and flushing: Sediment naturally starts to settle in water heater tanks over time, harming efficiency and causing loud noises. We’ll flush the sediment and clean out your tank to extend its lifespan and improve heating efficiency.
  • Anode rod replacement: Your anode rod is a sacrificial piece of gear that attracts corrosive materials to protect your tank from damage. As they fail, corrosion can start to take hold in your tank. Luckily, a quick swap is all you need to get things running like normal again.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s generally a good idea to flush all the sediment out of your hot water heater about once a year. Getting rid of built-up sediment helps your water heater perform better and can also stop the loud pop or banging noise you hear when it kicks into gear. Reach out to McHales for water heater repair in Levittown, PA, and we’ll get everything flushed out.

If you’re repeatedly dealing with a finicky pilot light, it’s most likely due to issues with the thermocouple. Luckily, replacing a thermocouple is a pretty easy fix and shouldn’t set you back much cash or time.

Levittown is no stranger to hard water, and yes, it can definitely cause damage to your water heater. Hard water causes harmful scaling to build up inside appliances that can eventually lead to blockages and heating inefficiency. Investing in a water softener and regular maintenance can help deal with this issue.
