Water Heater Replacement and Repair
A common issue we experience with water heater repair in Tempe is waiting too long to schedule. Many of the repairs we complete would’ve been much cheaper had the homeowner called us at the first signs of trouble. You also have to factor in the increased energy costs from decreased efficiency.
Flushing a water heater is perhaps the most common repair. Sediment and minerals build up over time, and you need to flush them out. It’s so prevalent that we recommend scheduling it as an annual preventative repair. Doing so will save you money and headaches down the line.
Another common repair is replacing the anode rod. An anode rod slows buildup by attracting sediment and corrosive elements. Replacing it as needed will extend the life of your tank. It’s also not uncommon to experience problems with your thermostat. A bad thermostat can increase energy costs, cause fluctuating temperatures, and lead to running out of hot water.
There are two factors to consider when deciding between repair and water heater replacement: system age and repair costs. If the system has passed the three-quarter mark of its life expectancy, we’ll generally recommend replacement. If the repair will cost more than half of an installation, we’ll typically advise replacement no matter the system’s age.
A tank water heater is the traditional choice for new water heater installation. A tank size of about 50 gallons is typical, but much smaller and larger tanks are available. Many homeowners are switching to tankless systems. They cost more upfront, but the upside is that they cost less over the life of the equipment and deliver a practically endless hot water supply.
The most efficient water heaters currently on the market are electric heat pump water heaters and fuel-burning condensing water heaters. You can choose between tank and tankless options.
Watch for signs your water heater may be on its way to a breakdown:
- Low hot water pressure
- Increasing energy consumption
- Inconsistent water temperatures
- Unexpectedly running out of hot water
- Hot water with discoloration or unpleasant smells
