Signs Your Water Heater Needs Servicing

Recognizing the signs that your water heater needs servicing is important to prevent leaks and protect your investment. Look for these common signs indicating you need water heater repair in Macon, GA.

Insufficient Hot Water

If you notice you’re running out of hot water more quickly than usual, it’s a common sign that your water heater needs attention. Fluctuating temperatures and cold showers are also signs that something isn’t right. Insufficient hot water may indicate sediment buildup in the tank, a faulty thermostat, or issues with the heating element.

Unusual Noises

Overall, your water heater should operate quietly unless something is wrong. If you notice that it’s suddenly making loud, unusual sounds like popping, crackling, or banging, it might be due to excess sediment buildup or a malfunctioning component. Hissing noises coming from a gas water heater may indicate the presence of a gas leak, so make sure you turn off the water heater and call us right away for service if this happens to you.

Odors or Rusty Water

Hot water that suddenly emits an unpleasant, rotten egg smell may indicate bacterial buildup in the tank. Rust and corrosion may occur if your water suddenly appears dark and discolored. This particular issue usually indicates a problem with either the water heater or the plumbing attached to it. 

An Increase in Energy Bills

If your water heater relies on electricity to operate, it may need more power if it’s struggling to keep up with demand. A sudden and unexpected increase in your monthly energy bills might be a sign that your water heater needs service. Sediment buildup often causes a water heater to work harder to maintain the desired temperature, resulting in higher energy costs.
