Signs your water heater needs attention
- No hot water, or hot water that runs out quickly
- Popping, rumbling or banging noises from the tank (often sediment buildup)
- Rusty or discolored hot water
- Water pooling around the base of the tank
- A pilot light that won't stay lit
- A tank that's 10 years old or more
Maintenance, repair or replacement
Hard water is common in south-central Kansas, and the minerals settle in the bottom of the tank as sediment. Flushing your water heater periodically helps it heat efficiently and last longer. Many problems, like a bad thermocouple, heating element, thermostat or valve, are straightforward repairs.
When a tank is leaking or near the end of its life, replacement is usually the smarter choice. We'll help you choose the right size and type for your household, including energy-efficient and tankless options, and install it correctly the first time.
FAQ
Water Heater Repair & Replacement: common questions
How long does a water heater last?
Most tank water heaters last around 8 to 12 years. Hard water and skipped maintenance can shorten that. Tankless units typically last longer with regular descaling.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
If the tank itself is leaking, it needs to be replaced. If it's a part like a thermostat, element or gas valve on a newer heater, a repair usually makes sense. We'll give you both options and an honest recommendation.
Do you install tankless water heaters?
Yes. We'll talk through whether tankless is a good fit for your home's hot water use, gas or electric supply and budget.
How often should I flush my water heater?
Once a year is a good rule of thumb in our area because of hard water. We can do it for you as part of a maintenance visit.
