Signs You Need Water Heater Repair

Water heaters rarely fail without warning. Knowing the early signs can help you schedule repairs before small issues become major breakdowns.

Common signs include:

  • No hot water: Often caused by heating element failure or ignition issues.

  • Fluctuating temperatures: Sediment buildup or thermostat malfunction.

  • Discolored or rusty water: Indicates corrosion inside the tank.

  • Unusual noises: Rumbling or popping sounds usually mean sediment buildup.

  • Leaking tank or fittings: Can point to seal damage or internal deterioration.

  • Increased energy bills: A struggling unit uses more power to heat water.

If you notice one or more of these issues, professional service can prevent costly damage and extend your system’s lifespan.

When to Repair or Replace Your Water Heater

Not all water heater issues require replacement, but sometimes it’s the smarter long-term solution.

Replacement may be necessary if:

  • Your system is over 10–12 years old

  • The tank has visible leaks or corrosion

  • Repairs have become frequent or expensive

  • Efficiency has dropped significantly

  • Hot water demand exceeds your system’s capacity

If replacement is needed, our team can install an energy-efficient tankless water heater or modern storage unit designed for your home.

  • Electric water heaters

  • Tankless systems

FAQs

How long should a water heater last?
Traditional units typically last 8–12 years, while tankless models can last 20 years or more with regular maintenance.

Can I fix a leaking water heater myself?
DIY repairs are risky. Leaks often indicate internal damage or high pressure that requires professional attention.

Why is my water rusty or discolored?
Corrosion inside the tank or pipes is usually the cause. Flushing or part replacement often resolves it.

How often should I flush my water heater?
Once a year is recommended to remove sediment buildup and maintain efficiency.

Yes — we repair all major brands, including Rheem, Bradford White, Navien, and A.O. Smith.

    Been using them for years after the owner Kevin showed up so fast when our furnace went out one year. Been a fan since! Now, Danny is so great to work with, also. So friendly, knowledgable, fast. You guys are the best!

    Jessie M.

    Danny came out on a Saturday to diagnosis and fix my mom’s hvac unit.   He was able to quickly determine what the problem was and had all the parts to complete the repair right then.  His communication was clear and did a really good job helping us understand what caused the issue.  I would definitely recommend him and will be calling his company with any needs in the future. Thanks again!

    Michael R.

    Fantastic customer service! I had a furnace issue, called late morning and they fit me in for diagnostic right away. Technician was extremely knowledgable, walked me thru everything he found - unfortunately needed a new furnace (was 24 years old anyways), got it scheduled and installed within 24 hours as everything was in the warehouse (probably got lucky on what we needed). Overall excellent customer service, from scheduling to diagnostic, to installation. Highly recommend.

    Brad D.

    WOW! So impressed with so many aspects of this company. We had an animal die under the house in and could smell it coming out of the vents. When I called around, pest control was weeks out and Best Owner Direct was able to come the next day. Our technician, Danny was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Very professional, kind and made sure we had the problem taken care of the same day so we could breathe again! I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future for our HVAC needs.

    Daniel was excellent, attentive to detail and committed to completing all tasks other installers overlooked. He worked tirelessly into the evening making sure everything was working properly with a water heather install, and he had a great attitude all along.

    Alma H.

    Excellent customer service, great communications answering all of our questions, left the site clean, and very respectful of our space within the house. Arranged to have someone come from the office later in the week to explain how the thermostat works.

    Vinod S.

    BOD is fast, efficient and affordable life save for my client who is purchasing a home with an old HVAC. Best Owner came quickly to help her asses the cost to replace it, and I will continue to recommend their services!
