How to Know If Your Water Heater Needs Repair

Your propane or oil-fired water heater is one of the few appliances you use year-round. Unlike seasonal home comfort appliances such as furnaces, boilers, and air conditioners, your hot water heater has to work for you 365 days of the year. It powers things such as showers, dishwashers, laundry units, sinks, and more; meaning that having a water heater on the fritz can be a major problem for both your comfort and convenience in your Western MA or Northern CT home.

If you’ve found yourself wondering about the state of your water heater or caught in the middle of too many suddenly ice-cold showers, it may be time to consider a repair or upgrade to your water heating system. Luckily, the plumbing experts at FSi Oil and Propane know exactly where to begin. Keep reading to learn about the top signs that your water heater is in need of maintenance or a replacement service and let our team help restore the comfort you deserve.

Signs Your Water Heater Needs Service from a Trusted Plumber

Some signs that your water heater needs a repair or an upgrade service may include not having enough hot water, water buildup around your water heater, water quality issues, and frequent unit breakdowns.

When to Replace Your Water Heater

Most water heater failures are due to age, and they often occur without any warning. When a water heater fails, the tank containing the water it is heating usually ruptures, causing damage and loss of service. If your system is more than 10 years old, replacing it now can help you avoid an unexpected malfunction down the road. Not to mention, you can enjoy the immediate benefit of consistent hot water each and every day! A new system will also operate more efficiently, using less fuel and lowering your year-round energy costs. Some examples of the water heating equipment we install include:

  • On-demand, tankless propane & natural gas water heaters from Rinnai
  • Electric heat pump water heaters from Rheem & Bradford White
  • Gas and electric tank water heaters from Rheem and Bradford-White
  • Oil water heaters from Thermaflo, Bock, and Toyotomi
  • Indirect water heaters from HTP

Reduce the chance of needing an unexpected service call and gain peace of mind with a new water heater installed by the experts at FSi Oil and Propane.
