Not Enough Hot Water: This is the most common repair we encounter. It's an indicator that your heater is unable to perform to keep the water temperature hot.
Water Temperature Fluctuates: If your water temperature seems erratic—going from really hot to lukewarm without explanation—it may be a thermostat or heating element issue.
Leaks Around the Water Heater: The leaks can come from the tank itself, the pressure relief valve, or even connections. This is a serious problem, and you need to address this promptly to prevent water damage.
Strange Noises: Popping, banging, or rumbling sounds coming from the water heater attest to sediment buildup or some other internal anomaly.
Rusty or Discolored Water: An indication of internal tank corrosion, water discoloration will spell trouble with your water source; you may have a water leak.
Water Heater Age: Most units last from 7 to 10 years. If your tank is pushing that limit, it might be time to have it inspected or replaced it before it is too late.
Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Southern Massachusetts’s Water Heater Guide
The selection criteria for a water heater for your Foxboro home will be based on a few things: fuel type and style. Here is a run down to make it easier to choose the best water heater for your needs.
Gas vs. Electric
Electric heaters offer high efficiency, resulting in significantly less heat loss. However, this comes with higher utility bills. Another point for consideration is that there is no need for ventilation, which is a plus.
Gas heaters are less expensive when it comes to operational costs since the gas lines are already in place, but for someone without those, it may be more expensive at first.
Tanked vs. Tankless
Tankless water heaters can provide hot water on demand. Sometimes, these water heaters are just ideal for homes with little to no space for a storage tank. Their features include:
- Quick heating
- Lower bills
- Longer lifespan
Though they bear a significantly higher cost, such as during installation. Bear this in mind, especially if you are switching systems.
Traditional tanks are less costly in installation, maintenance, and even repair. They come with the following benefits:
- Easy installation
- Lower initial cost
- Simpler replacement
The disadvantage is that they cost more in terms of monthly bills. On average, they are meant to last 7-10 years only, as opposed to their counterparts.
