A common mistake when it comes to water heater repair in Elkhorn is waiting too long. The vast majority of water heater issues are simple and relatively cheap to fix if you get to them early enough. If you put off getting help and the problem worsens, you’re going to spend more in the end.
Sediment and limescale buildup are by far the most common problems, and the symptoms can be quite diverse. You may experience knocking, low water pressure, or inconsistent water temperatures. Flushing the tank is the solution, and we generally recommend doing so proactively at least once a year. You’ll also need to replace the sacrificial anode rod on occasion. That’s about every three years on average.
Thermostats are a common water heater problem as well, and electric units actually have two. They can fail outright, but they can also malfunction before they do. The most common symptom is running out of water when you didn’t expect it.
How do you know when to repair or replace? Typically, if a repair will cost 50% or more of a water heater replacement, you should replace. The only exception is when the unit is still quite young. Also, if a unit is beyond the three-quarter mark of its life expectancy, you should usually replace it.
You can replace your tank water heater with a new unit that’s similar but more efficient. Readily available tank sizes range from 10 to 100 gallons. The usual size is around 50 gallons. You may also want to consider a tankless water heater for virtually unlimited hot water.
There are several benefits of a modern water heater.
Quieter operation
Lower operating costs
Rebates and tax credits
Smaller installation footprint
A new six- to 12-year warranty
