We use our water heaters every single day and hardly ever think to give them a second thought. That is, until our hot water stops working, then it is pandemonium. We are so used to turning a faucet handle and having hot water come out almost immediately. When this doesn’t happen, we are shocked and immediately know what the culprit is…that old water heater. Don’t wait until your water heater quits working before you call us. Our plumber’s have experience with water heater repair, diagnostics and replacement if needed. I mention “if needed” because ideally Klamath Falls Plumbing wants to save you some money and try to prolong the life of your current hot water unit without replacing . We can usually accomplish this via diagnosing the problem the water heater is having and possibly repairing it or replacing a minor part within the water heater to get it up and running again.
Repairing your existing hot water heater is much more cost effective then replacing it entirely. Sometimes the fix can be very simple such as relighting the pilot light or pressing the reset button. The reset button can trip for several reasons including a power surge or even a thunder storm, if your Reset Button keeps tripping on a weekly or even a daily basis, it could be a symptom of a more serious problem. Call Klamath Falls Plumbers and ask about our maintenance services. Other common repairs include replacing the thermopile, heating elements, gas control valve, gas burner, or the thermal switch. Basically just because your unit stopped working doesn’t automatically justify replacing it entirely. Klamath Falls Plumbers can repair gas and electric water heaters. Give us a call and lets try and save that water heater.
Symptoms that signify you may need to replace your water heater are symptoms such as increased water heating recovery time, basically how long it takes to heat the water up. Or maybe your water heaters tank is running out of hot water faster than it used too. Or you may notice when the gas water heater is heating up you hear all kinds of crackling and popping sounds coming from inside the tank, this is a sign of sediment buildup in your water heater tank. Or maybe you are just sick and tired of costly water heater repairs adding up.
The time has come…we’ve ran our diagnostic tests and determined your unit is not savable. Don’t worry we will get your brand new water heater installed quickly. The first step in the water heater installation process is to shut the gas and water off to the unit and drain your existing water heater. While it is draining we will disconnect your old non functional unit and associated parts and haul them off. At this time it may be a good idea to upgrade your water heater valves. We will then install the relief valve, reinstall the water lines, reattach the exhaust flue and gas line, check for any leaks, then finally relight the pilot light. All in all it should take a few hours to replace your water heater.
A tankless water heater is an energy-efficient option that heats water on demand, providing a continuous supply of hot water whenever you need it. Unlike traditional water heaters that store hot water in a tank, tankless models only heat water as it passes through the unit. This not only reduces energy consumption but also saves space, making it an ideal choice for homes of all sizes. Additionally, tankless water heaters have a longer lifespan compared to traditional models, offering reliability and cost savings in the long run. If you're looking for a more efficient and eco-friendly way to meet your home's hot water needs, a tankless water heater might be the perfect solution.
