Common causes include a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse (electric), a pilot light that's gone out (gas), a faulty thermostat, a broken heating element, or sediment buildup in the tank. For gas heaters, check if the pilot light is lit. For electric, check your breaker panel. If these basics don't solve it, call us for a diagnostic—we can usually identify the issue quickly.
Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8-12 years, while tankless water heaters can last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. Signs your water heater is failing include rusty water, rumbling noises, leaks around the base, inconsistent temperatures, and water that's not as hot as it used to be. If your unit is over 10 years old and having issues, replacement is often more cost-effective than repair.
Consider replacement if: the unit is over 10 years old, repairs would cost more than 50% of a new unit, you're seeing rust or corrosion, or you're experiencing frequent breakdowns. Repair makes sense for: newer units, minor issues like a faulty thermostat or heating element, or if you're not ready for the upfront cost of replacement. We'll give you an honest assessment and options.
