Water heaters are generally very reliable, but they do have problems occasionally, such as little or no hot water, rusty or smelly water, and more. Here are some solutions to common issues of electric water heaters.
No Hot Water
It’s the most unpleasant situation when your water heater does not produce hot water. Make sure to check the thermostats and other heating elements to find the source of the issue.
Inadequate Hot Water
Inadequate hot water may mean that your water heater is cooling too rapidly. Make sure to check the temperature setting, heating elements, sediment in the tank, or maybe its due to a damaged dip tube.
Rusty/Smelly Water
Pipe corrosion or bacteria accumulation is most of the time the cause for this issue.
Loud Noises
Do you hear strange noises coming from your water heater? A low rumbling or popping sound is due to sediment accumulation while hissing sounds are mostly caused due to a leak in the tank.
Leakage
A broken drain valve, too much pressure buildup in the tank, corrosion, and rust are the primary perpetrators of your hot water heater leaking. Make sure it’s fixed as soon as possible.
All of these issues require the assistance of a professional, so make sure you contact your local water heater experts to help you fix the issues.
