Common signs that your water heater needs a repair
There are some common signs to look out for when your tankless water may need repairing.
No hot water
Lack of hot water in your Calgary home may be the most visible and alarming indication and symptom of a damaged tankless water heater.
Instant Plumbing & Heating right away to have a licenced plumber inspect your tankless water heater, identify the problem, offer a solution, and repair your water heater if you suddenly cannot receive hot water out of your faucets or showers.
Broken heating elements
Electricity or natural gas can be used to power tankless water heaters. The heating elements in electric devices might malfunction and lead to failure.
A heating element that has broken and caused a water heater to malfunction is a simple repair.
A plumber will ensure that the heating element is the sole malfunctioning component by checking the circuit breaker, thermostat, and any other wiring.
Instant Plumbing & Heating will be able to replace the damaged heating element and restore the hot water supply to your home.
Leaking water
Water should never leak from a tankless water heater, so if you notice any, call Instant Plumbing right away!
It might be caused by a loose valve or fitting, something much more complicated, or neither, but expertise will be required.
Poor water quality or discoloration
If the water flowing from your hot and cold water faucets is hazy or rusted, there is a problem.
Your faucets’ water should be clear, but if sediment has accumulated, the water may turn dark or grey instead. If it does, you might have a significant health issue at home.
The average lifespan of a water heater is ten years. To extend the life of yours, get annual maintenance and cleaning performed on it.
To clean your tankless hot water heater, seek the assistance of a competent technician, or leave the water flowing and check to see if the colour returns over time.
Low Water Pressure
Water heater issues can also affect your water pressure and leaks.
The sooner you identify the problem and resolve it, whether it is a buildup of sediment in your pipes or even a leak in one or more of the connections with the heater, the better.
If cleaning the water heater doesn’t solve the problem, your tank may require replacement.
Strange sounds
In normal use, your Tankless Water Heater system probably makes extremely faint noises, but if you hear any strange, loud noises like pounding, humming, shrieking, or knocking, it could indicate that your water heater is broken.
If you notice any loud or unusual noises coming from your tankless water heater, be sure to call Instant Plumbing right once to arrange for an expert tankless water heater repair as soon as you can.
Rising energy bills
Tankless water heaters are excellent for reducing your monthly energy costs, at least until they break down.
Your water heater consumes the majority of your monthly energy, so if you see any strange spikes in your bills, don’t dismiss it as a possible cause!
