When to Replace Your Electric Water Heater
If your water heater is over 10-15 years old, consider a replacement. If you notice any leaks on the unit itself, or if you do not have sufficient hot water or the water is not heating up sufficient temperatures, you may want to think about replacing it. When you're in the market for a electric water heater, you have options. You can choose between a traditional unit or a tankless one. By opting for a tankless unit, you'll save money in the long run and you won't run out of hot water as tankless systems heat up water on the spot. Call on our trained, professional technicians to see if a tankless water heater is the best option for you.
Common Repairs
Some of the most common repairs these units require include:
- Thermostat: This device controls the temperature of the water heater. If the thermostat is malfunctioning, you may be left without hot water or run the risk of scalding yourself on water that is too hot.
- Electrical components: Modern electric water heaters rely heavily on electrical components. If any number of these parts, from the wiring to certain sensors, begins to malfunction, you may be left with an unresponsive water heater.
- Physical damage: A good indication that your electric water heater needs to be replaced is if it has sustained physical damage. Dents, cracks or leaks in the unit will cause water damage and could potentially lead to electrical problems as well.
