Living in San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area, you know how essential hot water is, especially during those chilly mornings and evenings. But how can you tell when it’s time to reach out to us for a repair? Here are eight red flags that your water heater may be in trouble:

• Inconsistent Water Temperature: If your water is either too hot or too cold, or if it varies unpredictably, this could be a sign that your water heater needs servicing.
• Discolored or Smelly Water: If your water has a rusty, brown, or unpleasant odor, it may suggest that your water heater is corroding internally, which can lead to leaks or even total failure if not addressed.
• Water Leaks: Spotting water around your water heater or leaks from the unit? Don’t delay; call us right away. Leaks can result in significant water damage if not promptly handled.
• Strange Noises: While some noise is normal, loud cracking, popping, or rumbling sounds could indicate sediment accumulation at the bottom of your tank, affecting its efficiency and increasing wear and tear.
• Lack of Hot Water: If your household is quickly running out of hot water, it may mean that your water heater’s capacity is no longer sufficient, or there might be an issue with its internal heating element.
• High Energy Bills: Noticed a spike in your energy bills lately? Your water heater might be working harder than it should, possibly due to sediment buildup or a failing heating element.
• Slow Recovery Time: A well-functioning water heater should heat a full tank within hours; any longer could indicate problems with its heating elements or thermostat.
• Old Age: Water heaters typically last 8-12 years. If yours is within this range and causing issues, it might be more economical to replace it rather than repair it.
