When Does My Water Heater Need Repair?

A water heater that ceases to produce hot water or a leaking tank clearly necessitates a call to Sanks for repair services. Yet, there are less obvious signs indicating the need for our assistance. Variations in water temperature, or water that doesn't match its temperature setting, could point to thermostat or heating element issues. Running out of hot water quickly is another sign of heating element problems. Unusual noises often indicate sediment build-up, signaling a need for flushing. Additionally, if your hot water is discolored, it could mean sediment problems or corrosion issues like a damaged anode rod. Remember, all leaks, no matter how small, are urgent issues and should prompt you to contact us without delay.

Types of Water Heaters We Repair

There is a wide range of water heater technologies used throughout Philadelphia, PA, and we provide installations, replacements, conversions, maintenance, and repairs for all of them. These systems include tank water heaters, on-demand water heaters, condensing water heaters, and heat pump water heaters.

Standard Tank Water Heater

Standard Tank Water Heaters

Standard tank water heaters are the predominant choice in many homes, using a tank to both heat and store the hot water supply. Most homes are equipped with a 40-gallon tank, though there are variations in size, both smaller and larger. Electric water heaters have the advantage of being inexpensive to install and efficient in operation, but gas-powered units typically have lower operating costs over their lifetime and can replenish hot water more quickly.

Tankless Water Heater

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters, which heat water only when needed instead of storing it, come in both electric and natural gas options. They are pricier to install but provide many benefits, including a continuous supply of hot water, extended equipment durability, lower monthly operating costs, overall cost-effectiveness, minimal maintenance requirements, and a reduced risk of substantial leaks.

Condensing Water Heater

Condensing Water Heater

Condensing water heaters, which can be found in gas-powered tank and tankless versions, are designed for greater efficiency than standard non-condensing models. These units include a special component that recaptures heat from the exhaust gases — heat that would normally escape — and uses it to aid in heating the water.

Heat Pump Water Heater

Heat Pump Water Heater

Unlike traditional electric tank water heaters that use a coil for direct heating, heat pump water heaters utilize a heat pump to convey heat energy to the water. This technology is recognized as the most efficient on the market and is commonly integrated with the HVAC systems of homes and businesses.
