Water heaters are one of the most common and essential appliances in a home. Unfortunately, these appliances often break down and stop working correctly. Here is a video that explains the process of hot water heater repair.
The average lifespan of a residential hot water heater is around 15 years.
If your heater has already reached that point, it may be time to think about replacing it. If you want to save money, a cheaper option might be to repair your current water heater rather than install a new one.
Hot water heaters contain many elements such as thermostats, heating elements, and valves. Any fault in these elements can cause problems for the heater. Some water heaters run on electricity while others use gas. For most gas-controlled water heaters, the main problem is the thermostat switch and gas control valve. When these two elements fail, they require urgent replacement to make the heater work again.
Electricity or gas usually powers water heaters. Contact a service provider if you notice problems with your hot water heater, such as low pressure or no hot water. They’ll inspect the unit to determine whether it requires repair or replacement that needs to be done by a professional.
