Water Heater Repairs and Replacements
for Lakeland, FL and the Surrounding Areas

Discovering that there’s something wrong with your water heater when you try to take a shower is an inconvenience to say the least. The following are some tell-tale signs that there’s something up with it.


  • Insufficient hot water: If you have insufficient hot water or none at all, this can indicate a broken heating element or thermostat issues.
  • Strange noises: Rumbling, popping, or banging sounds are often caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank, which makes the unit work harder and can damage it over time.
  • Discolored water: Rusty or discolored water may be a sign of internal corrosion of the tank or a depleted anode rod, a sacrificial part that prevents rust, which requires immediate inspection.
  • Leaks or pooled water: Leaks and pooled water at the base of the unit can be a sign of a bad valve, loose connection, or, most seriously, a crack in the tank itself.

When considering the age-old question of repair versus replacement, there are several factors to keep in mind. The first is the age of the water heater. If you have a standard water heater that’s more than 10 years old, replacement is likely the better option.


The second factor is the nature of the problem. Minor issues such as a faulty thermostat or broken heating element will usually only require repair. Major problems, such as a leaking or corroded tank, typically mean replacement is necessary.


A third factor is cost. If needed repairs will cost less than 50% of the price of a new heater, it’s probably worth it. If the cost is more than 50%, you’re much better off just putting that money toward a new water heater.


The final factor is efficiency. If your water heater is still working fairly well, repair is usually the better way to go. However, if you’ve noticed a steady increase in your utility bills that aren’t otherwise explained, it’s most likely time for a new water heater.
