FAQs About Water Heater Services in Atlanta

What Types of Water Heaters Are Suitable for Atlanta Homes?

Atlanta homes benefit from reliable tank models, efficient tankless options, and energy-saving hybrids. Tankless models are becoming increasingly popular, especially in the humid summers, as they save energy by only heating water when needed. Our team can help you decide what is best for your home. We'll factor in how Atlanta’s heat and humidity impacts your energy bill.

How Often Should Water Heater Maintenance Be Performed?

In Atlanta, yearly maintenance is key. This includes flushing the tank, checking the anode rod, and setting the thermostat. Regular checks prevent issues and extend your water heater's life.

How Often Should You Replace Your Water Heater?

Depending on its make, model, and type, your water heater can last anywhere between eight and fifteen years. Finding the right time to replace your water heater isn't always straightforward, but there are a few telltale signs that it's nearing the end of its useful life. 

A water heater at the end of its life may display symptoms like: 

  • Unusual noises: Knocking, rumbling, or popping sounds can indicate sediment buildup, which reduces efficiency and may lead to tank damage.
  • Water leaks: Any signs of moisture or pooling water around the base of the water heater tank suggest a leak that could lead to significant water damage if not addressed.
  • Rusty water: If your hot water starts to look rusty, it could mean that the inside of your tank is rusting, which eventually leads to leaks.
  • Inconsistent water temperatures: Struggling to maintain consistent water temperatures or noticing a significant decrease in hot water availability could indicate a failing heating element.

If you notice any of these warning signs, get in touch with our team at Atlanta Plumbing & Drain. We can assess your water heater's condition and help you find the most cost-effective solution.

What to Do When Your Water Heater Stops Working

A failed or failing water heater can be a significant inconvenience, but there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue before calling a professional. 

Use these helpful troubleshooting and DIY tips: 

  • Check the power source: Ensure your water heater is properly connected to the power source. If you have an electric water heater, check your circuit breaker to see if the switch has tripped. For gas water heaters, make sure the gas valve is turned on.
  • Inspect the pilot light (for gas water heaters): If your gas water heater isn't working, the pilot light may have gone out. You can usually find instructions on how to relight it on the tank itself.
  • Adjust the thermostat: Sometimes, the issue might be as simple as the thermostat being set too low. Adjust it to a higher setting to see if that solves the problem. For safety, the recommended temperature is around 120°F (49°C).
  • Check for leaks: A leak can cause your water heater to malfunction. Inspect the tank and connections for any signs of moisture. If you find a leak, it's best to contact a professional for repair.
  • Flush the tank: Sediment build-up can affect your water heater’s efficiency and damage the tank. Flushing it annually can help prevent these issues. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions or consult a professional if you're unsure how to do this.

These steps can often help solve common water heater problems. However, if you’ve tried these tips and your water heater still isn’t working, it might be time to call in the experts from Atlanta Plumbing & Drain.
