Signs Your Water Heater System Needs Repairs

Wondering if your water heater needs repair? Common signs include no hot water, strange noises like popping or rumbling, or lukewarm water. Leaks around the base of your tank or discolored water are also clear indicators. Addressing these issues early can prevent bigger, more costly problems down the road.

Repair or Replace? Our Rule of Thumb

If your tank water heater is under about 8 to 10 years old and the problem is a part like a thermostat, heating element, thermocouple or gas valve, repair usually wins. If the tank itself is leaking, or the heater is past 10 to 12 years old, replacement is usually the better choice, because a leaking tank can’t be repaired. Replacement estimates are free, and if you had a service call or diagnostic visit first, we credit those fees toward your new water heater.

Frequently Asked Questions

A service call is $110, or $175 after hours, and covers the trip to your home. Diagnostic work and any repairs are added on top, and you approve the price before we start. Members of our ESA maintenance plan pay $0 for service calls. If you decide to replace your water heater instead, we credit your service call and diagnostic fees toward the new one.
On a gas water heater, the usual causes are a pilot or ignition problem, a bad thermocouple or a faulty gas valve. On an electric unit, it's usually a failed heating element, a thermostat or a tripped breaker. Check the breaker, and on a gas unit whether the pilot is lit, then call us.
If your tank water heater is under about 8 to 10 years old and the problem is a part like a thermostat, heating element, thermocouple or gas valve, repair usually wins. If the tank itself is leaking, or the heater is past 10 to 12 years old, replacement is usually the better choice, because a leaking tank can't be repaired.

Yes. We can come out any day and any time, subject to on-call technician availability. After-hours service calls are $175, or $0 for ESA members. If water is leaking, shut off the cold water supply valve on top of the heater first.
This usually points to a faulty thermocouple or flame sensor, a draft, or a problem with the gas valve. We'll find the cause and make sure the heater runs safely.
Popping or rumbling usually means sediment has built up in the bottom of the tank. It's worth having it checked early, before it shortens the tank's life. See water heater maintenance.
