Why Is My Water Heater Making Noise?

While some noise from your water heater is to be expected, excessive noise could indicate a problem. For example, if you hear a loud banging, popping, or rumbling there could be mineral deposits or sediment buildup within the tank. Whereas a screeching sound could indicate that water flow is constrained, and hissing could mean that there is a leak. Additional noises to look out for would be hammering, commonly referred to as a “water hammer”, when the flow of water is suddenly changed, or humming if components of the system are not secure. However, a water heater making noise is not the only problem these systems can encounter that indicate the need for water heater repair in Brooklyn, NY.

Signs You Might Need Water Heater Repair:

• Temperature inconsistences from a broken heating element or incorrectly set thermostat
• Rusty looking water from a faulty anode rod
• An extinguished pilot light from a faulty thermocouple or gas valve

Additional issues such as a malfunctioning temperature and pressure relief valve, loose fittings, a broken dip tube, or blocked flue could also lead to hot water heater problems.

How Often Should You Flush Your Water Heater?

Water heaters should be flushed at least once a year. It's important to remember to flush your water heater to prevent problems that occur when sediment builds up in the base of the tank. Leaving sediment build up can cause a couple of problems. 

How Does Sediment Affect a Hot Water Heater?

• It makes your water heater work harder to heat your water
• It's also possible to see traces of the sediment come out of your faucets.
• More long term and extreme problems are burst pipes
• Or major loss of water pressure in your home's plumbing

It's also important to remember to flush tankless units as well as traditional water heaters. If you do not know how to flush your hot water heater or believe there may be another issue with it, call Reliable Heating and Cooling at (347) 845-8389 for experienced hot water heater repair in Brooklyn.

Why Is My Water Heater Not Getting Hot?

Are your showers turning ice-cold? Are you only getting lukewarm water from your taps? Nobody likes going to take a hot shower and only getting cold water. There are multiple reasons that could cause a lack of hot water.

How to Know Your Hot Water Heater Is Broken:

• Water leaking from the tank
• Gas leak
• No power going to the water heater
• Too small of a tank size
• Broken thermostat

How Long Does a Water Heater Last?

Depending on the make and model, traditional water heaters can last between 8 to 12 years, with tankless water heaters averaging a life span of 20 years. However, the frequency of use and level of maintenance received can impact this. At some point, you’ll need more than just water heater repair. Be on the lookout for any of the following signs that could indicate the need for a new water heater altogether:

When to Replace a Water Heater:

• You’re running out of hot water faster than usual
• Strange sounds are coming from your water heater
• Hot water is discolored, smells strange, or tastes unusual

Tankless Water Heater Installation in Brooklyn 

Why Choose a Tankless Water Heater?

Tankless water heaters are innovative and energy-efficient units that are becoming more popular in the United States as we move towards a greener future. Instead of maintaining a tank full of heated water, these units use heat-transferring mechanisms to heat water directly in your pipes.

Benefits of a Tankless Water Heater:

• Lower utility bills
• Longer equipment lifespan
• An endless supply of hot water
• Compact and discrete
• Less require maintenance
• Less wasted energy

If you’re interested in making the switch to a tankless water heater, or if you already have a tankless water heater installed and are looking for a reliable technician to service it, Reliable Heating and Cooling is here for you. We can provide services for your tankless water heater in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Staten Island, South New Jersey, and the greater NYC area.



Can Tankless Water Heaters Run Out of Hot Water?

By design, a tankless water heater does not rely on a supply of water. It works by heating water on demand by the user. As long as your Brooklyn home or business has running water, you will not run out of hot water. When you turn the faucet on a slight delay is possible, but once hot water reaches you it won't stop being hot.

What Size Tankless Water Heater Do I Need?

A smaller tankless water heater can be overwhelmed if a lot of hot water is being used throughout a house or business at once. There are different sizes of units to choose from based on the amount of hot water a household needs. Be sure to talk about your hot water needs with a Brooklyn tankless water heater installation professional to determine the correct size needed.
