FAQs

What are the signs that my tank water heater needs repair?

Common signs of a failing tank water heater include strange noises such as rumbling or banging during operation, inconsistent water temperature, leaks around the tank, and discolored or rusty water. If you notice any of these issues, it’s important to have your system inspected by a professional to prevent further damage or even a total breakdown.

How long do tank water heaters typically last in Elora?

Tank water heaters generally have a lifespan of 8 to 12 years, depending on the water quality, maintenance practices, and usage. In Elora, the lifespan may vary slightly due to local water conditions, so regular maintenance and timely repairs are key to extending the life of your system.

What should I do if my tank water heater is leaking?

If you notice a leak, it’s crucial to turn off the power supply and water source to prevent further damage. Once this is done, contact a licensed plumber immediately for an evaluation. Early intervention can help prevent structural water damage and ensure your system is repaired or replaced as needed.

How can I increase the efficiency of my tank water heater?

Improving the efficiency of your tank water heater can be achieved by insulating the tank and the hot water pipes, setting the thermostat to an optimal temperature (around 120°F or 49°C), and scheduling regular maintenance to remove sediment buildup. These steps help reduce energy consumption and ensure the heater operates at its best.

What routine maintenance is required for a tank water heater?

Routine maintenance for a tank water heater includes annual inspections, flushing the tank to remove sediment, checking the pressure relief valve, and ensuring the thermostat is functioning correctly. In areas like Elora, where water quality can affect equipment, having a professional perform these tasks on a yearly basis can help extend the life of your heater and improve efficiency.

What are the costs associated with tank water heater installation and repair in Elora?

Costs can vary based on the type of unit, its capacity, and the complexity of the installation or repair work. Installation costs typically range from moderate to high depending on the renovations needed, while repair costs depend on the extent of the damage. It is recommended to get a detailed quote from a licensed plumber in Elora to understand the specific costs for your situation.

What our customers say

Had a water leak around my hot water heater in the garage with wet sheetrock and water on the floor. Called on Saturday afternoon and Nathan arrived within an hour. He isolated the pinhole leak in the copper pipe by the shutoff valve which wasnspraying water all over the wall and ceiling. He had the pipe cut out and valve back in place within 45 minutes. Everyone from the answering service, the plumbing dispatcher and Nathan were very professional. Will use them again.

I had an amazing experience with HEP. They responded to the hot water not working the day that I called, fixed it and also noticed a leak in my hot water heater. They overnighted the part and came back to fix it for me. Dakota and his partner were very professional and friendly. I will definitely be using HEP for any of my plumbing needs.

Kelsey S.

Todd & Matt went above and beyond our expectations. Our water heater broke. They were here within the hour. They had to move a lot of furniture out of the way to even get to the water heater as I was home alone and having just had surgery, could not be of any help. They worked late hours until the job was complete. Nice guys too! I recommend them and will use them again myself in the future.

Ken B.

Our hot water heater's relief valve was leaking. Called HEP, they had Nathan here quickly. Fixed the relief valve, and he also determined that we had a bad pressure relief valve in our crawl space, which was causing other plumbing issues. Got everything working again quickly. Thanks!

David L.

Nathan Hardesty was very helpful. Discussed options then he repaired water heater. I have a better understanding of my options when time comes to replace it.

Gaynelle H.

Randy was Great! Called 30 minutes out and was very professional with the service call. He throughly discussed the problems, since it was a very old unit. He gave 3 options which included fixing the existing unit or replacing it with a new unit. Once again, he was very professional and good natured. I not only replaced the HVAC system, but also am getting a new gas water heater and am excited about having new units so I don’t have to worry about them. Thanks Randy!!

Brady came out introduced himself and told us what he was here to do. As he started his work, draining the hot water heater he called me over to tell me that we have a small leak. He told me that the water heater would rupture in the future and should be replaced before this happened. We agreed about that and then we talked about a replacement . He explained my options and because they don’t make s 65 gal hot water heater anymore we went with a 50gal. He said it would be less hot water and made sure we were ok with that before he quoted us a price. Once he checked our water pressure (160lbs) in three different places, he found out we needed a new pressure valve. We agreed and he wrote up the contract. Brady is a great person to deal with, very knowledgeable and concerned about our satisfaction.
