Does Your Water Heater Need Repairs?

What’s going on with your water heater? Here’s how to know whether you need repairs or whether it’s more worthwhile to get a new water heater installation in New Rochelle, NY.

Temperature Issues With the Water

It’ll be pretty clear that you need to contact a professional if your water doesn’t get hot at all. But it’s also not a great sign if the water isn’t heating properly, such as the water taking too long to heat or only getting lukewarm. 

Both are indicators that there’s something seriously wrong with your water heater. Conversely, water that comes out too hot is telling as well.

Strange Noises

Of all the things that go bump in the night, your water heater should never be one of them. Boiling or clanking noises aren’t an example of normal sounds coming from your equipment; consider it your heater’s way of telling you it needs professional intervention.

The noises can often just be sediment at the bottom of your tank. But they are just as likely to be a signal of a damaged tank or heating element that a heating professional will need to fix.

Water Dripping From the Base

Water dripping from the base is one of the more extreme issues you could have with your water heater. In fact, it’s often an indicator that you’ll need a new water heater installation in New Rochelle, NY.

Discolored Water

If you’re noticing discolored water coming out of your pipes, there is a chance that your water heater is to blame. Seeing rust-colored water or having water with a strange smell could mean that bacteria is running rampant in your water heater. 



You should know that this isn’t necessarily harmful. However, you’ll want a professional to evaluate the situation sooner rather than later to make sure your system is safe.
