Wales, UK - Signs Water Heaters Need to be Repaired or Replaced

Failing water heaters can be a significant inconvenience for any homeowner or business. Unfortunately, water heaters, like any other home appliance can deteriorate over time. There are various signs that will tell you your system needs a service or repair and you should your local plumbing contractor or BPS Facilities Services to come out and assess what it needs. Whether it is because of its age or it is in need of a service or repair we can help. Here are some of the most common signs that you need to service, repair or replace your water heater.

Water Heater Fluctuating Water Temperature

When you start noticing that your water heater can’t maintain a constant temperature, chances are there is something wrong and you need a qualified and professional heating engineer to come out and see what is going on with it. In most cases, deposits and limescale collect at the bottom of the hot water tank around the heating rods, which will reduce their functionality and mean you are not getting the hot water in your property that you need. In these situations, water heaters are unable to maintain a constant temperature. BPS will send out a qualified heating engineer to assess it and we will quickly identify if it needs a repair or service.

Low Hot Water Pressure

In a normally functioning water heater system, the water will come out steadily when the water is turned on from the taps and showers. However, when the water pressure fluctuates, it requires prompt action. Usually, this occurs when there is a pipe blockage due to mineral deposits accumulating. In other cases, the same can happen when your water heater is older and it needs servicing. An ageing new water heater will last longer with regular maintenance saving you money in having to replace it earlier than you need to.

Water Heaters Leaking

A leaking water heater is a cause for alarm. However, the leakage can be minor sometimes and it becomes difficult for a property owner to notice. If rusty water starts trickling down from the heater, you should call a heating engineer ASAP. Failure to address the problem can lead to it getting worse and result in severe property damage and even more repair costs. Several issues can cause your water heater to start leaking, including expansion in the tank after continuous water heating cycles or rusty water pipes. The growth and contraction of pipes inside the tank can lead to fractures and bursts so you should always get it checked as soon as you notice any leaks.
