Common Issues:
- Sediment buildup: Over time, minerals and sediment can accumulate at the bottom of a water heater tank. This sediment can cause issues such as reduced heating efficiency, strange noises, and even corrosion. Regular flushing of the water heater tank can help prevent sediment buildup and maintain the performance of the water heater. In gas water heaters this sediment building up at the bottom causes a layer of “rock” between the water and the heat source severely impacting the efficiency of the heat itself wasting untold amounts of gas.
- Heating element failure: The heating elements in an electric water heater are responsible for heating the water inside the tank. If a heating element fails, it can lead to issues such as insufficient hot water, inconsistent water temperature, or no hot water at all. Replacing a faulty heating element is a common repair for water heaters experiencing heating issues.
- Pressure relief valve issues: The pressure relief valve on a water heater is designed to release excess pressure from the tank to prevent it from exploding. If the pressure relief valve malfunctions or becomes blocked, it can lead to excessive pressure buildup in the tank, posing a safety hazard. Regular testing and maintenance of the pressure relief valve are essential to ensure that it is functioning properly and protecting the water heater from damage.
- Winter time is a notorious time for water heaters to give out. The inlet temperature of the water in Northern Virginia drops by on average 15 to 20°. Colder water being denser enters the water heater, it is then heated from its base temperature to the setting you have chosen for your water heater as the water heats it expands. Doubling down on that issue is the fact that throughout northern Virginia as these communities have grown, they didn’t go back and replace all the main water trunk lines. They just turned the pressure up! That excess pressure of water now heated to the appropriate temperature for your shower is the reason water heaters fail more often in the colder months.
By being aware of these common issues that can arise with water heaters, homeowners can take proactive steps to address them and ensure the efficient operation of their water heating system. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs can help extend the lifespan of a water heater and prevent costly breakdowns.
