Causes of Many Water Heater Issues
Since your water heater is always in use, keeping water hot and then heating it up again, performance issues aren't uncommon. There are a range of possible causes for your water heater troubles, including:
- Damaged thermostat: the thermostat is in charge of keeping the water in your tank at a certain temperature, so if it isn't working the water may be too cool or too hot.
- A leak in the tank: a leaky water tank can affect the efficiency of your system.
- Damaged pilot light: gas-powered water heaters rely on the pilot light to function properly. If yours is damaged, you'll need professional water heater repair.
Do You Need a Repair or Replacement?
Depending on the age of your water heater and the specific issue causing the trouble, you may need a basic repair or a full-blown replacement. Most water heaters will last around 10 years before a replacement is necessary, but if the damage is too serious, then you may need one before the average lifespan is up.
Why DIY Is a Bad Idea
Since your water heater uses water, has electrical components and possibly involves natural gas, it's always a good idea to call for professional help if it isn't working properly. There's no need to risk the health of your plumbing system or your own health when expert help is just a phone call away.
