FAQs

How does a tank water heater work in Soddy-Daisy homes?

A tank water heater stores a certain amount of water and heats it using electricity, gas, or oil. The water is kept at a preset temperature, ensuring hot water is readily available when you turn on a tap. In Soddy-Daisy, where winters can be chilly, this continuous supply of hot water is essential for daily use.

What are the common issues with tank water heaters?

Common issues include sediment buildup, which can reduce efficiency and cause overheating, leaks, and thermostat problems. Over time, the metal tank can corrode. Regular maintenance and inspections can help identify these issues early, minimizing expensive repairs and ensuring your water heater runs efficiently.

When should I consider replacing my tank water heater?

The average lifespan of a tank water heater is 8 to 12 years. However, if you notice consistent issues such as frequent leaks, inadequate heating, or increased energy bills, it might be time for a replacement. Regular services can help extend its life, but if problems persist, a replacement may provide better efficiency and reliability in your Soddy-Daisy home.

What maintenance does a tank water heater require?

Regular maintenance is crucial for longevity. This includes flushing the tank annually to remove sediment buildup, checking the pressure relief valve, and inspecting for leaks or signs of corrosion. Additionally, testing the thermostat and heating elements helps ensure efficient operation. Scheduling an annual inspection can help avoid unexpected breakdowns.

Are there energy-efficient options for tank water heaters?

Yes, many new models are designed to be more energy efficient, including better insulation and advanced heating mechanisms that reduce energy consumption. Some modern water heaters also include features like smart controls which optimize usage. In regions like Soddy-Daisy, energy-efficient models not only lower utility bills but also reduce carbon footprints.

How do local conditions in Soddy-Daisy affect tank water heater performance?

Local water quality can significantly influence performance. Hard water, which is common in many areas, can lead to faster sediment buildup and corrosion in water heater tanks. This means more frequent maintenance might be necessary. Additionally, seasonal temperature variations can affect efficiency, so ensuring your water heater is properly insulated and maintained is key to consistent performance.

What our customers say

Marco and the gentleman who fixed my hot water heater were great.

Kindl B.

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.

Tiffany A.

I took advantage of HEP's free offer to drain my hot water heater and do a plumbing inspection. Even though the drain valve on the heater was broken, Marco managed to find a way to complete the job. He offered suggestions for improvements and gave me estimates but did not pressure me to agree to any work. He was polite, professional and helpful.

My water heater started leaking on Thursday afternoon. It had been installed originally by Sears but there were some problems, so HEP fixed them years ago. This time, I went online to Home Depot to schedule an install. I didn't get a call back on Thursday so I called for an update. I was told I'd get a call in 1-2 business days. Rather than going without hot water for the weekend I called HEP. They got someone out within two hours for an evaluation and a quote. I agreed and they had a tech out two hours after that. It's 5pm on Friday and I never heard back from the Home Depot folks - meanwhile HEP came out and got it all done. And if there is a problem, I know they'll come out on the weekend. Next time I'm calling them first.

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.

Anna G.

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.

Matt came today to flush out my water heater. He explained the process and why it was necessary. He was efficient, polite, and helpful. He was also great with my pets!
