Water Heater Repair

Below are common symptoms of a broken water heater. 

No Hot Water

If your water heater cannot produce hot water, a faulty heating element could be the culprit. Mineral deposits in water can cover the heating element, rendering it ineffective. A lack of hot water could also be due to a leak in a gas line. 

Water Smells Funny

Over time, pipes corrode and may leach chemicals into your water. These chemicals have a strange smell and turn your water a muddy brownish color. Water can also rust the interior of your tank, causing water to appear red and rusty. 

Inconsistent Temperatures

If your water heater runs out of hot water or switches between hot and cold unexpectedly, it could signify a broken heating element. You’ll need to clean or replace the heating element to fix the problem. Inconsistent temperatures could also result from problems with your gas line. 

High Utility Bills

Another sign of a broken water heater is high energy bills. Broken water heaters might consume more electricity or gas, leading to higher monthly utility bills. If your utility bills skyrocket but water heater usage stays the same, you’ll need to call an expert for water heater repair service in Winnipeg, MB. 

Tripping Breaker

If your water heater breaks, it might consume more electricity than normal. An extremely high current draw can trip your circuit breaker, causing power outages. If your power goes out every time your water heater kicks on, you’ll need a professional to solve the problem.

Water Heater Replacement

The typical tank water heater lasts about ten years, while the typical tankless heater can last up to 25 years if you get regular heating and air conditioning maintenance. However, you will eventually need to replace your water heater when it reaches a certain age.
