The Essential Guide to Water Heater Repair: Keep Hot Water Flowing in Ogden

6/20/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
A malfunctioning water heater can disrupt your morning routine and leave you with icy showers. At Ogden HVAC, we understand how vital reliable hot water is. Whether your tank is leaking, you’re running out of hot water too quickly, or you hear strange noises from the unit, our team at 190 W 33rd Street, Suite D, Ogden, UT 84401 is here to help.

Common Water Heater Problems
  1. No Hot Water or Insufficient Heat
    • Electric Heaters: Faulty heating elements or tripped breakers.
    • Gas Heaters: Pilot light issues or blocked gas valves.
  2. Strange Noises
    • Rumbling or popping often indicates sediment buildup on the tank bottom, causing uneven heating and noise.
  3. Leaks Around the Tank
    • Corrosion at drain valves, fittings, or tank walls can lead to visible leaks—and eventual tank failure.
  4. Rusty or Discolored Water
    • Rust inside the tank or corroded anode rods can cause orange or brown water from faucets.
  5. Pressure Relief Valve Dripping
    • A continuously dripping T&P valve may signal excessive pressure or a faulty valve that needs replacement.

Why Timely Repair Matters
  • Prevent Flooding: Even small leaks can flood basements or equipment rooms.
  • Improve Efficiency: Sediment and faulty parts force your heater to work harder, raising energy bills.
  • Extend Lifespan: Regular maintenance and prompt repairs can add years to your water heater’s life.
  • Ensure Safety: Gas leaks or faulty relief valves pose fire and scalding risks.

Our Water Heater Repair Process
  1. Diagnostic Inspection
    We check temperature settings, thermocouples or elements, gas lines, pressure valves, and look for leaks or corrosion.
  2. Transparent Estimate
    You receive a clear quote covering parts and labor—no hidden fees or surprise markups.

  4. Testing & Verification

  5. Maintenance Tips
    We’ll show you how to flush your tank annually, test the T&P valve, and set optimal temperature (120°F) for safety and efficiency.
