Repairing Your Water Heater Can Save You Hundreds Of Dollars

If your water heater isn’t working there could be several reasons.

Water Heater Repair FAQs

Q: If my water heater is leaking on the floor does that mean I need a new one?

A: Not always. It could be the T&P valve opening up due to excessive temperature or pressure in the tank. It could also be a bad expansion tank. Try and see if the water is coming from the actual tank or the discharge pipe running down the side of the tank towards the floor.

Q: Why doesn’t my water heater get as hot as it used to?

A: Most likely the control valve isn’t reading the temperature correctly and failing to heat the water up enough.

Q: I have an older home in West Akron and my water heater keeps making noise, like a popping sound. Should I be worried?

A: Well, it’s not an emergency, but your water heater is probably filled with sediment on the bottom. It needs to be flushed or possibly replaced.

Q: What’s the difference between a power vent and a gravity vent water heater?

A: A power vent heater uses an electric blower motor to remove the combustion gasses from the house out of the sidewall. It is more efficient because there isn’t as much heat loss up the chimney. Combustion gasses from a gravity vent heater “float” up and out through the chimney which wastes a lot of energy.
