Edmonton Hot Water Tank Repair
It’s a common mistake to feel that once you turn on the hot water faucet and nothing but cold water comes out that your bank account is about to take a major hit. While it is true that many plumbing and heating services will recommend that you spend a significant amount of your hard-earned money in order to enjoy the luxury of hot water again, that’s certainly not the case when you hire the services of our team at Ram Mechanical Plumbing & Heating.
We understand that you are going to want to keep any bills in regards to your hot water heater down to manageable levels, which is why we always do our best to keep repair and replacement costs down while arranging the most effective services possible. We will only advise that you replace your hot water tank if we genuinely feel that hot water tank repair is not an option.
Sadly, like all components of any system, they all have a finite ‘fit for purpose’ lifespan, and the same goes for a hot water tank. We will only suggest a replacement if your water tank actually has come to the end of its useful life, or if damage has occurred what means there is no choice but to replace it.
Edmonton Hot Water Tank Replacement
If our experienced plumbers feel that there is no alternative but to replace your hot water tank because it is beyond repair, then we will always discuss your options with you first. Sometimes, the repairs that you need will be so expensive that the more cost-effective option would be to replace your hot water heater anyhow. We will always have your best interests at heart and will always let you know what options you have, even if they may not necessarily be what you want.
You may find that replacing your existing hot water tank will save you money in the long run, anyhow. If your tank is over ten years old, then the chances are that new technologies and advances in the design of hot water tanks have made your old tank obsolete. A new hot water tank may indeed be a much more cost-effective way of dealing with your situation as opposed to continuing to repair your existing tank on a frequent basis until finally, it fails completely. Energy efficiency results in lower costs and is also more environmentally friendly.
You could completely get rid of your hot water tank in Edmonton and opt for a more efficient, tank-free system instead. Such systems heat the water as you need it, as opposed to heating a huge tankful of hot water and then keeping it warm. The old system is not efficient, as sometimes you may heat water that you do not use, then you spend time and money heating it again and again. A tankless system generally only ever heats the exact amount of water that you will be using at any given time.
Signs You Need Hot Water Tank Replacement in Edmonton
There are a few things that you may notice that suggest your water tank is in need of repair, a few of those include:
- Coldwater – this is the most obvious sign. If cold water only comes out of your hot water faucet, then it’s likely that your hot water tank or system is failing.
- Discolored water – if you notice that your water is not running clear, then this could be a sign that your hot water tank has a problem of some kind. Hot water tanks should be firmly sealed, so contamination of the water is usually a sign that something is awry.
- Water where it is not supposed to be – Your entire hot water system should be a tightly sealed system, and water should not escape anywhere. If you notice water leaking around the area of your system, and in particular pooling around your water tank, then it’s likely that you have a problem.
- Age of tank – generally, hot water tanks are designed to last for around a decade. If you are having problems with your system then the age of your tank may be the issue. If your tank is around ten years old then it might be time to switch to a newer, more energy-efficient model.
No matter what issue you find you are experiencing with your hot water tank in Edmonton, it is always best that you get in touch with an expert hot water tank repair company as soon as possible.
