When To Repair vs. Replace Your Water Heater
Knowing whether to repair or replace your water heater is crucial for saving time, money, and hassle. Here’s a quick guide on how to know whether to repair or replace your existing water heater:
When to Repair
- Your system is facing minor leaks
- Your unit is producing an inconsistent water temperature
- You notice unusual noises from your unit, likely due to sediment buildup
- Your unit has broken parts like the heating element or thermostat that require a simple repair
When to Replace
- Your water heater has extended its typical 10- to 15-year lifespan
- You have to schedule frequent or costly repairs
- Your system faces major leaks
- Your unit’s efficiency has decreased, resulting in high utility bills
Water Heater Installation & Replacement
Our team provides water heater installations and replacements for Reading-area residents. We have a simple and effective process:
- First, we will arrive to assess your home to determine a model that will best fit your hot water needs.
- After we decide on the correct placement and are prepared with the needed tools, we will carefully remove your current model if required and provide a comprehensive installation.
- Once your unit is connected to your home’s water supply and its gas or electrical power supply, we will run tests to ensure it is working efficiently.
The entire process for a gas or electrical storage tank water heater installation generally takes two to four hours to complete.
Water Heater Expansion Tank Installation
If your water heater is lacking in efficiency, it may be too small to meet your needs. If your water pressure fluctuates frequently or you have a “closed” system, meaning there’s a check valve or backflow prevention device on your main water supply line, then you likely need a water heater expansion tank. This small secondary device absorbs the excess expanded water from your main unit and will return when the primary supply runs out.
Expert Water Heater Repair Services
Keeping your water heater in tiptop shape means handling any issues immediately. We offer expert water heater repair services for problems such as malfunctioning thermostats, faulty heating elements, and broken pressure relief valves. We’ll be there to diagnose any issue and provide a quick solution.
