Common water heater concerns
No hot water is the most obvious sign, but water heater problems can also appear as inconsistent temperature, discolored hot water, unusual noises, a leaking tank, or water around the unit.
The symptoms, the age of the equipment, and the condition of the surrounding connections all inform the conversation about diagnosis, repair, or replacement planning.
- No hot water or a sudden temperature change
- Water visible around the heater
- Rust-colored or unusual hot water
- Popping, rumbling, or other new sounds
