What Are the Most Common Problems With Water Heaters?

There are signs you should watch out for that will tell you whether you need to call a professional water heater repair expert to investigate.

Several of the most common problems found in home water heaters include:

No Hot Water. If the unit is heating water but it's not being dispensed from your faucet, it could be a sign of electrical failure or a bad pilot light
Strange Smells or Odors. A possible sign of stagnant, bacteria-infected water
Slow Water Reheating. When your water heater takes too long to reheat the water inside, making lukewarm or room-temperature water in your pipes
Low Hot Water Pressure. The hot water just trickles out from the faucet, possibly due to outdated plumbing and pipework

How Much is a Hot Water Heater?

At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Detroit, the cost of a hot water heater depends on several factors such as size, fuel type, and energy efficiency rating. On average, installation costs range from $400 to $2,000 for electric water heaters and gas-powered models can be up to twice as expensive due to the materials and labor involved in their installation.

When it comes to purchasing a new hot water heater for your home or business in Detroit, the first thing you need to consider is what size tank would best meet your needs. For example, a 50-gallon tank would typically provide plenty of hot water for an apartment or small house with one or two bathrooms while larger homes may benefit from an 80-gallon model which offers more capacity than smaller tanks. Tanks come in both electric and gas versions so depending on your budget and desired energy efficiency ratings you can choose between either choice. Electric models are generally cheaper upfront but will cost more over time due to higher operating expenses while gas models require costly permits and installations but offer more reliable performance over extended periods of time.

The next step is selecting an appropriate energy efficiency rating that fits within your budget as different types require varying amounts of energy when running at full capacity. Generally speaking, the higher the rating the more efficient the model and therefore lower your energy bills. The final cost of purchasing and installing a hot water heater in Detroit can vary greatly depending on all these factors, but at Mr. Rooter Plumbing we provide competitive pricing for our professional installation services so you can rest assured that your new tank won’t break the bank.
