Why Is the Pipe on My Water Heater Leaking?

The pipe on your water heater is called the overflow pipe. It serves as a safety measure that regulates the pressure and temperature inside your water heater. If the overflow pipe occasionally leaks, you have nothing to worry about. However, if the leaks are excessive and reoccurring, contacting a service professional is important.

Why Does My Water Take So Long to Heat Up? How Do I Fix It?

When you’re experiencing prolonged water heating times, it’s likely due to an issue with your plumbing. Water exits your water heat and travels through your pipes to reach your faucet or shower. Larger homes have large plumbing systems, meaning longer heating times. Solutions to this problem may include:

Re-circulation Systems

A recirculation system may be the most effective solution if your water heating problem stems from owning a large home or extended plumbing pipes. These systems serve to heat the water continuously. As they conserve heated water, they provide nearly immediate hot water without prolonged wait times.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters are an excellent solution for securing immediate hot water. They are often installed beneath cabinets or near the fixture that requires their assistance. They do not include a storage tank, allowing them to expel hot water on-demand while providing exceptional energy efficiency for cost-savings.

How Can I Conserve Heated Water?

If you’re looking to conserve heated water and increase the energy efficiency and cost-savings of your home, there are several measures you may implement. Our service professionals recommend the following:

Lower the Pre-set Water Heater Temperature

Lower your water heater’s pre-set temperature from the standard 140 degrees to approximately 120 degrees to conserve heated water. This temperature offers comfortable water temperatures while helping you save money on energy and water costs. Furthermore, if you plan to be away, lower the temperature to about 110 degrees.

Replace Your Shower Heads

Your shower heads play a pivotal role in conserving water. We recommend replacing your current shower heads with low-flow shower heads. These modern additions boast sufficient water pressure while minimizing water consumption. You can take long, comfortable showers without sacrificing costs and water usage.

What Causes a Leaking Water Heater?

Several different factors can cause a leaking water heater. Even minor leaks need further investigation as they can develop into more complex issues. Observing your tank to detect damage, cracks, or loose pipes is important. You may also contact our team to schedule a water heater inspection.

How Do I Choose the Size of My Water Heater Replacement?

When determining the size of your replacement water heater, it’s important to consider several factors. We recommend reviewing your water supply demands and whether you plan on moving in the future to ensure you choose a model that brings value to your property. Our water heater replacement service professionals can guide you through this process.

How Do I Choose the Best Water Heater for My Home?

When determining which water heater is best for your home, it’s important to consider three key factors. First, your household's size and current and projected water consumption. Next, determine whether a gas, electric, or propane unit is best suited for your needs.
