We offer a full spectrum of services designed to address any issue you might encounter with your water heating system. Our expertise covers various types of water heaters, ensuring we can provide effective solutions regardless of your current setup.
Water Heater Repair
A malfunctioning water heater can present numerous warning signs before a complete failure. Recognizing these indicators early can save you from cold showers and potential water damage. Common signs that your water heater needs attention include:
- Lack of Hot Water: The most obvious sign. This could be due to thermostat issues, heating element failure, or a pilot light problem.
- Inconsistent Water Temperature: Water that fluctuates between hot and cold unexpectedly.
- Strange Noises: Rumbling, popping, or whining sounds coming from the tank, often caused by sediment buildup.
- Leaking: Puddles or moisture around the base of the water heater indicate a potential tank leak or connection issue.
- Discolored Water: Rusty or metallic-smelling water suggests corrosion inside the tank or pipes.
- Sulphur Smell (Rotten Eggs): Indicates a bacterial issue within the tank.
Power Pro Plumbing’s experienced technicians are skilled at diagnosing and repairing a wide range of water heater problems. We address issues like faulty thermostats, broken heating elements, pilot light malfunctions, valve replacements, and anode rod issues. Timely Water Heater Repair can restore performance, prevent further damage, and extend the lifespan of your unit.
Water Heater Replacement & Installation
Sometimes, repair is not the most cost-effective or long-term solution. Deciding whether to repair or replace your water heater depends on several factors:
- Age of the Unit: Most standard tank water heaters have a lifespan of 10–15 years.
- Frequency of Repairs: Constant repairs can become more expensive than a replacement.
- Type of Problem: Issues like a leaking tank typically require replacement.
- Efficiency: Newer models are more energy-efficient and can reduce utility costs.
