Water Heater Repair

When your water heater isn’t working like it should, call in the highly trained professionals at McAtee Plumbing Heating & Cooling. Our local plumbers can quickly identify issues and provide affordable water heater repair, so you never have to go without the convenience and comfort of hot water for long. We know you depend of your hot water for bathing, washing, and cooking, so we work quickly to get you back to enjoying hot water again as soon as possible.

When Should I Replace My Water Heater?

Most water heaters last for about 10 years before it becomes more cost-effective to replace the unit. Older units usually aren't as energy-efficient and cost more money in utility bills. You may want to consider installing a new, more efficient water heater or upgrading to a tankless water heater.

Another general rule to keep in mind is that if the cost of repair ends up being 50% of the cost of a new water heater, it's usually a better option to replace. Our plumbers will provide you with an honest assessment of your situation and recommend the best course of action for your budget.

Common Signs You Need Water Heater Repair

There are a few signs to look for that may indicate the need for repair services from our Charleston water heater specialists. These can range from big issues, such as a complete lack of hot water, to smaller matters.

If you notice any of the following, contact us:

• Leaks around pipes or unexplained puddles around your unit
• Clanking, grinding, or other strange noises
• Rust colored water when you run your hot water
• Unusual smells
• Water that is not hot enough
• Too little hot water

If you notice any of the above issues, give the team at McAtee Plumbing Heating & Cooling a call. The solution to these issues range from simple thermostat adjustments to full part or pipe replacements, but it's always best to count on a professional rather than trying to DIY. Trying to fix these issues on your own could potentially be dangerous, especially if your water heater is powered by natural gas.

Preventative Water Heater Maintenance

Many homeowners overlook their water heater until something goes wrong. Regular maintenance can give you peace of mind that nothing will go wrong at inopportune times, such as when you are in the middle of a shower or when there’s a sink full of dirty dishes to clean. Waiting for water heater repairs is never fun, but planning ahead and being proactive could prevent this altogether.

Most types of heater failure issues are preventable with the right kind of maintenance plan. Instead of ignoring your heater as the weather starts to warm up, now is the time to have our professionals inspect, flush, and fix your unit. Preventive water heater maintenance also helps increase the lifespan and efficiency of your unit, preventing the need for expensive replacements.
