It’s essential to keep your water heater running smoothly. After all, it provides an invaluable resource to your home: hot water. If you need a local Calgary water heater repair company, look no further than Westhills Plumbing & Heating. Here are our top three signs that your water heater needs repairs.
Strange Noises
If your water heater is making an odd noise, like a popping, cracking, rumbling, or banging, it causes concern. Call a hot water technician if you hear any unusual noises coming from your water heater, as these can be an indicator of another, more profound issue.
Leaks
You want to have a qualified professional plumber come and examine your water heater if you notice it leaking, particularly if you see water pooled beneath it. It’s essential to do so because a minor fracture will only get bigger, and you run the risk of your tank or plumbing bursting.
If you do notice a leak from your water heater, then do the following: turn off your water heater, turn off the water that feeds the tank, call in a professional repair technician.
No Hot Water
Several potential causes for your water heater not to produce hot water. Sediment build-up can cause your water heater to operate at less than peak efficiency, which only gets worse over time. It could also be a broken heating element. If that’s the case, it’s a relatively easy fix for a qualified plumber. Lastly, it could be that your water heater’s tank is too small for your household. If that’s the case, you might be looking at needing to upgrade the unit.
Keeping your water heater running is essential. That’s why you should call a professional at the first sign of trouble. For a local Calgary water heater repair company, call Westhills Plumbing & Heating. We can help troubleshoot and fix your water heater quickly. Give us a call today.
