Recognizing the Need for Water Heater Repair

There are several signs that indicate your water heater may need a repair. 

Common Signs You Need Water Heater Repair in Memphis:

  • Lack of Hot Water: If your water heater is not producing hot water or the water is not as hot as it used to be, there may be an issue with the heating element, thermostat, or a buildup of sediment in the tank.
  • Inconsistent Water Temperature: Fluctuations in water temperature can be a sign of a malfunctioning thermostat or a problem with the heating element.
  • Strange Noises: Popping, rumbling, or banging sounds coming from the water heater may indicate sediment buildup in the tank, which can reduce its efficiency.
  • Leaking Water: Any signs of water around the base of the water heater could indicate a leak. Leaks may be caused by a faulty valve, a leaking tank, or loose connections.
  • Rusty Water: If the hot water coming out of your faucets is rusty or discolored, it could be a sign of corrosion inside the water heater tank.
  • Low Water Pressure: Reduced water pressure may be a result of a buildup of sediment or mineral deposits in the water heater.
  • Age of the Water Heater: The average lifespan of a water heater is around 8 to 12 years. If your water heater is approaching or has exceeded this age, it may be more prone to problems and may require attention.
  • Pilot Light Issues: For gas water heaters, if the pilot light goes out frequently or has a yellow or flickering flame, it may indicate a problem with the thermocouple, gas supply, or ventilation.
  • High Energy Bills: An inefficient water heater can lead to higher energy bills. If you notice a sudden increase in your utility costs, it could be a sign that your water heater is not operating efficiently.

If you experience any of these signs, it's advisable to contact our team for professional water heater repair in Memphis to assess and address the issue promptly. Regular maintenance can also help prevent potential problems and extend the life of your water heater.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heaters

What Is the Best Time of Year to Replace a Water Heater?

While you can replace a water heater at any time, many Memphis homeowners choose to replace it during the warmer months when the demand for hot water is lower. This can help to minimize any inconvenience.

Can I Install a Water Heater Myself?

It is highly recommended to hire a professional plumber to install a water heater in Memphis. Improper installation can lead to safety hazards, leaks, and reduced efficiency.

How Often Should I Flush My Water Heater?

It's recommended to flush your water heater once a year to remove sediment buildup and improve its efficiency.

Which Type of Water Heater Is More Energy-Efficient?

Tankless water heaters are generally more energy-efficient as they only heat water when needed. However, the initial cost of a tankless water heater is often higher.

What Is the Average Cost of a Water Heater Replacement?

The cost of a water heater replacement can vary depending on factors like the size of the water heater, the type of fuel source, and the complexity of the installation.

    I am an extremely pleased customer!
    "It started with Brock, a proficient, patient, helpful, thorough, and courteous representative of Smith’s Plumbing who arrived at scheduled time. With 3 bids on hand, after Brock responded to my questions on different brands of tankless, position of gas and water pipes, along with a competitive price, It was an EASY decision to have Smith’s Plumbing replacing my 2 tanks water heater with a Rinnai RSC 199 tankless! Respectful, pleasant, and skillful install crew, Cody and Eli along with roofer Scott, took great care to protect wood floor and extra careful with hauling equipment up and down the stairs. The tankless water heater was up and running prior to 5PM on the same day. Rest assured it was my first and surely not my last experience with Smith’s Plumbing as I am an extremely pleased customer!"
