Signs You Need a Repair
How do you know when you need a water heater repair? Unfortunately, too many home and business owners wait until the damage is irreparable, resulting in the need for a new unit all together. At Todd Plumbing Co., we want to help you try to avoid that situation. The following are some signs you need a water heater repair:
- Black or Rusty Water – Discolored water is a sure sign that there is scale build up within the unit. It is more than likely on the elements, and could be a sign that the anode rods will need to be replaced.
- Hot Water Reduction – If you notice that there is no hot water, or that there is a decrease in the amount of hot water you usually use, there are various problems that may be at hand. Our professionals will determine whether the element needs replacing, if there are loose wires or if the dip tube should be repaired.
- Leaks – Your water heater should never leak, no matter what type and model it is. If you notice a water leak, it could be a simple repair or could indicate a larger repair is at hand. One common leak that we see is with the pressure relief valve.
- Odors – Often times, bacteria will build up inside the water tank. Our professionals know how to flush the tank, replace the anode and get it cleaned out.
- Water That Is Too Hot – A broken water heater does not always result in cool water, but could result in water that is too hot. The thermostat might be broken or not seated correctly, which could be fixed with a simple repair.

Water Heaters Replacement
Before your water heater fails completely, be on the lookout for signs that it may be on the way out. Here are some of the most common signs that you need to replace your water heater:
- Your water heater is older than 10 years old. This is a dead giveaway — most heaters do not last much longer than 10 years.
- Your water heater makes strange noises. If you hear a rumbling noise coming from your heater, this could indicate that sediment has built up at the bottom of the tank.
- You notice water pooling around the base of your heater. If your heater is constantly leaking, you may need a replacement unit.

How long does a water heater last?
Typically, most traditional water heaters last around ten to twelve years. If your water heater is over twelve years old, it’s likely time to replace your unit. However, regardless of age, if your heater consistently requires maintenance checkups and repair, this may also be an indicator that a new water heater is in order.

Our skilled technicians are able to answer any questions about your specific water heater’s longevity. We can also set you up with a consultation.
What does the Energy Factor (EF) on my water heater mean?
If you’re considering installing a new water heater, your chosen model’s Energy Factor is crucial.
The Energy Factor (EF) rating on your water heater indicates your heater’s energy efficiency level. The higher the EF rating, the more efficient your water heater is. Most importantly, the higher your heater’s efficiency, the lower your annual energy bills will be!
A decent EF rating is typically .6 (or 60%) or higher. However, it’s always best to enlist the opinion of a water heater pro before purchasing your heater. Here at Todd Plumbing, we can help answer your questions about the EF rating on your water heater before you buy.
