Signs You Need Water Heater Service

• No Hot Water or Inconsistent Temperatures: There’s nothing worse than a cold shower on a chilly morning. If your morning routine is interrupted by insufficient or inconsistent hot water, this could indicate a faulty heating element, gas supply issue, or thermostat problem.
• Strange Noises: Do you hear banging, rumbling, or popping sounds coming from your water heater? As sediment builds up in the tank, it can cover the heating element and cause it to overwork. Those strange noises are a warning sign that your water heater is working inefficiently and that it may fail prematurely without repair. 
• Rusty or Discolored Water: Discolored water is more than an eyesore. If you notice liquid rust coming out of your taps, it’s a warning sign indicating corrosion inside the tank or a failing anode rod. If corrosion continues without professional intervention, you risk exposure to leaks and water damage.
• Leaking Tank or Pooling Water: If you notice water pooling around the base of your water heater, it could indicate any number of issues — including a failing tank, loose connections, or a pressure relief valve issue. Whatever the reason, a leaking water heater requires professional water heater repair.
• Foul Odors in Hot Water: If your hot water smells like rotten eggs, you may have bacteria growing inside your water heater tank. Especially in well water systems, sulfate bacteria will omit smelly vapors that won’t go away without a water heater tank flush.
• High Energy Bills: High energy bills may indicate that your water heater is past its prime. Older, inefficient systems struggle to maintain temperature, consuming more energy than necessary. If you notice a spike in your energy bills, it may be time to consider replacing your old water heater.

Water Heater Maintenance

Proactive maintenance is the key to extending the life of your water heater, improving its efficiency, and preventing costly breakdowns. At Suntech, we offer comprehensive water heater maintenance services designed to keep your system running smoothly year-round.

Our water heater inspections cover critical aspects of your system's health:

• Detailed System Assessment: We check thermostats, heating elements, gas lines, and venting to evaluate overall system performance and ensure optimal safety and operation.

Tank vs. Tankless Water Heaters

Is a traditional tank-based water system or an energy-efficient tankless system right for you? Consider the following:

Traditional Tank Water Heaters

• Lower upfront installation costs
• Stores hot water in a reservoir, but it may run out during periods of high usage.
• Susceptible to sediment buildup

Tankless Water Heaters

• Higher installation costs
• Provides hot water on demand
• More energy-efficient
• Longer lifespan
• Fewer mechanical parts, less maintenance

Which One is Best?

A Suntech technician can help you make the best decision for your hot water needs by weighing the above factors against things like household size, water habits, and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How long do water heaters typically last?

Your water heater’s lifespan will vary depending on whether you have a tank or tankless system. Tank systems generally last 8-12 years with routine maintenance, while tankless systems typically last 15-20 years due to fewer replaceable parts and reduced corrosion susceptibility.

How often should I flush my water heater?

We recommend flushing your water heater twice a year — once in the spring and once in the fall. This preventative maintenance routine prevents sediment buildup, extends system life, and maintains optimal performance year-round.

Can I switch from a gas to an electric water heater (or vice versa)?

Yes, you can convert between gas and electric water heaters, but it's a complex process that requires professional expertise to safely manage electrical connections, gas line disconnection, and local code compliance.

How can I improve my water heater's efficiency?

To improve your water heater's efficiency, consider strategies like lowering the thermostat temperature, insulating your water tank and pipes, investing in a right-sized or tankless water heater, and reducing overall hot water consumption.
