Common Water Heater Problems

As a local water heater repair professional, Republic Home Services is usually called for similar water heater problems. Here are the most common issues: 

  • No hot water: A faulty heating element, ignition issue, or tripped breaker is often the culprit.
  • Not enough hot water: This can stem from a failing heating element, sediment tank buildup in traditional models, or an undersized unit. 
  • Strange noises: Any popping or rumbling noise is caused by sediment buildup that is putting unwanted stress on your water heater. 
  • Leaks: Connection leaks are easily repairable, but leaks from the tank can be serious and lead to a full unit replacement.

Duncanville, TX has hard to moderately hard water, meaning minerals like magnesium and calcium turn into sediment that clings to the bottom or your tank or tankless water heater. Water heater flushes in naked models are a common maintenance service, while descaling is used for tankless systems. 

Water Heater Repair Cost

Water heater repair costs vary based on the energy source, water heater type, and parts required. An anode rod replacement is around a few hundred dollars, while a gas valve replacement can be on the higher end. 

In a tankless model, replacing the heat exchanger is by far the most costly repair, usually around $1,000, including parts and labour. Our technicians will always provide an estimate and inform you of any changes as they arise during the service. 

Types of Water Heaters We Repair

We are trained on all types of water heaters — tanked and tankless models, heat pump water heaters, gas, oil, and electric fuel sources. 

Tanked models, at 30 to 80 gallons depending on your hot water patterns, are still the most popular system, but due to their unlimited on-demand hot water usage, tankless water heaters are becoming more popular in the Dallas County region. 

Signs You Need Water Heater Repair

These are some warning signs that you need water heater repair services in Duncanville.

  • Rusty or discolored water: Internal corrosion from the tank or piping systems can cause discolored water. 
  • Inconsistent water temperature: Water that is switching from hot to cold is a classic sign that the heating element or thermostat needs repair.
  • Rising energy bills: If you notice your energy bill is spiking, but you have not changed your hot water usage patterns, you need water heater repairs. 
  • Longer hot water wait times: If it takes a while to get hot water from your system, it could be losing efficiency. 

If you notice any of these signs, contact Republic Home Services for a hot water heater repair in Duncanville or any other plumbing issue. 

Water Heater Repair vs Replacement

Deciding on whether to repair or replace your water heater comes down to a few factors. 

  • Age of system: If your water heater is 10 to 12 years old, it will begin to work inefficiently, regardless of how many repairs it has had. 
  • The 50% rule: If you are facing repairs that add up to half the cost of a new model, it always makes more sense to replace rather than repair. 
  • Upgrading: If your household needs unlimited hot water on demand, upgrading to a tankless model will be a huge benefit. 

Professional vs DIY Water Heater Repairs 

Water heaters are complex units that require special training to fix properly. However, there are a few DIY tasks a handy homeowner can do themselves. 

  • Relighting a pilot light, following the manufacturer’s specifications.
  • Adjusting a thermostat setting. 
  • Sediment flushing (only if you know what you’re doing).

For anything handling any of the following, always call Republic Home Services.

  • Gas line issues 
  • Electrical issues 
  • Water leaks
  • Heating element failures

Calling a professional for repairs is a way to protect you, as many local codes and manufacturer warranties require professional repairs to follow compliance.

Duncaville Hot Water Heater Repair FAQs 

Why does the water smell bad (like rotten eggs)?

Water can smell like rotten eggs because the anode rod in your water heater has broken down and is reacting with the natural sulfates in the water. Your anode rod attracts those hard minerals to protect the tank from buildup. 

Why does my water heater keep shutting off?

Your water heater keeps turning off due to a tripped breaker in electric models, a faulty pilot light in gas models, or overheating. Call a Republic Home Services technician right away.

Why does my water heater trip the breaker/blow a fuse?

Your water heating is tripping the breaker or blowing fuses because of loose or damaged wiring, a heating element issue, or because it is running from an undersized circuit. Call Republic Home Services to diagnose the issue and repair it.
