WARNING SIGNS

Indicators Your Water Heater May Be in Need of Repair

The water heater in your home serves an important function for your home’s most important appliances and comforts. That’s why it can be so frustrating when your hot water heater breaks down entirely. To avoid that, here are a few indicators that your water heater may be in need of repair:

Appliances Not Working

An often overlooked sign that a water heater is in need of repair is if other appliances in your home that require hot water, like your dishwasher or washing machine, aren’t working properly. Therefore, if your dishwasher or washing machine aren’t working properly, you may have to look beyond your appliances at your water heater for the root of the problem.

Discolored Water

The water that comes out of your home’s faucets or shower heads should be clear and clean in appearance. Any water that flows through your pipes that is cloudy, brown, or tinted in some other way could be a sign that there is an issue with your water heater that needs to be addressed by a professional.

No Hot Water

In the event that the water in your home won’t heat up, you likely don’t need to look any farther than your water heater to discover the problem. Contact the professionals at Hero Home Services today to schedule a repair.

Leaks

Unfortunately, water heaters can at times spring a leak. Water heaters often leak due to a loose valve or fitting. If you notice any leaks coming from your home’s water heater, contact a professional to schedule a repair as soon as possible.

Unit Cycles On & Off When It Shouldn’t

One of the more frustrating issues that homeowners can have with their water heater is it cycling on and off when it shouldn’t, leading to inconsistent water temperatures.
