Here at Carolina Plumbing & Repair, we want to help you keep your home as comfortable as possible, and a key part of any home’s comfort lies in the hot water heater. You depend on your water heater to keep your dishes and laundry clean and sanitary, and you also depend on it to let you bathe comfortably. Our team knows from experience just how unpleasant it is to have your hot water run out mid-shower, and we want to help you avoid that situation if at all possible. To help you do that, we’ve put together this list of three signs that you need hot water heater repair. If you notice any of them happening in your home, we encourage you to give us a call.
- Inconsistent Temperature – One sign that you likely need water heater repair is inconsistent water temperatures. If your water sometimes comes out of your taps as hot as you want it, but other times comes out lukewarm or cold, then you probably have an issue with your water heater, and you should call our team to come check it out.
- Not Enough Hot Water- Another clear sign that you need water heater repair is your system running out of hot water too fast. Your water heater is designed to keep gallons upon gallons of water hot and ready for use, so if you are running out of hot water after just a few minutes, then something is definitely wrong.
- Discolored Water- A third sign that you need hot water repair is discoloration in the water. If the water coming from your taps starts to take on a brownish hue or to contain flecks of rust, then you should give us a call to have the problem checked out right away.
