Cleveland Residential & Commercial Hot Water Tank Repair & Installation
Keeping your hot water tank in good working condition does more than make hot water accessible in your home – it can help cut down on water costs over time. In some cases, having a new hot water tank installed is the best option for ensuring your home has consistent access to hot water without high costs. If you are experiencing issues with your hot water tank at your home or business in Cleveland, including leaks and temperature issues, contact the team at A-Z Plumbing today and schedule a hot water tank service.
Common Hot Water Tank Issues
Is your water heater giving you trouble? Don’t worry, A-Z Plumbing can fix many common issues with some basic troubleshooting. Here are some typical water heater problems and their potential causes:
Thermostat Malfunction
- The thermostat is responsible for regulating the temperature of the water in the tank. If it malfunctions, it can cause the water to become too hot or not hot enough.
- Signs of a thermostat issue include scalding hot water or water that’s never getting warm enough, even after resetting the temperature setting.
- Thermostats can malfunction due to age, sediment buildup, or electrical problems.
Electrical Failure
- Many water heaters rely on electrical components to work properly, such as the thermostat, heating elements (for electric models), or the gas control valve (for gas models).
- If there’s an electrical issue, the water heater may not turn on or heat the water at all.
- Potential causes are tripped circuit breakers, faulty electrical connections, or problems with the heating elements themselves.
Thermocouple Problem
- The thermocouple is a safety device in gas water heaters that monitors the pilot light and shuts off the gas supply if the pilot goes out.
- If the thermocouple is bent, corroded, or not positioned correctly, it can cause the pilot light to go out or keep the main burner from igniting.
- Replacing the thermocouple is often necessary to resolve this issue.
Dirty Burner & Pilot Assembly
- Over time, the burner and pilot assembly in gas water heaters can get clogged with dust and sediment.
- A dirty burner or pilot assembly can make the pilot light go out frequently or prevent the main burner from igniting properly.
- Regular maintenance, including cleaning the burner and pilot assembly, helps prevent this issue.
If you’re experiencing any of these problems with your water heater, it’s always best to consult a professional plumber for diagnosis and repair. Attempting to fix these issues yourself can be dangerous and may cause further damage.
Determining Repair vs. Replacement of Your Hot Water Tank
Our skilled plumbers carefully evaluate the condition of your hot water tank to determine whether repair or replacement is necessary. Factors such as the tank’s age, corrosion, and the cost-effectiveness of repairs influence this decision. On average, water heaters last 6-8 years. We provide transparent recommendations to help you make informed choices for your hot water system.
A-Z Plumbing provides a one-year labor warranty for any hot water tank that we provide and install, in addition to the parts warranty provided by the manufacturer. When providing you with an estimate for a new hot water tank, our experts recommend commercial-grade plumbing fixtures that can only be purchased at plumbing supply houses catering to licensed plumbing contractors. These are the best-quality tanks.
A typical residential water heater installation in Cleveland can take four to five hours and may require the plumber to shut off the water to the home for part of this time. Code requirements may vary based on location, and we ensure every installation meets all code requirements.
