Common Water Heater Issues We Repair

Our experienced technicians are trained to identify and fix a wide range of water heater problems, including:

• No Hot Water: Often caused by broken thermostats, faulty heating elements, or pilot light issues on gas water heaters.
• Inconsistent Water Temperature: This could mean sediment buildup, a failing thermostat, or electrical issues.
• Leaking Water Heater: Water leaks may come from a faulty pressure relief valve, cracked tank, loose water lines, or corroded connections.
• Rusty Water or Discolored Water: Typically caused by corrosion inside the tank or deteriorating anode rods.
• Unusual Sounds: Popping, rumbling, or sizzling noises often indicate sediment buildup overheating inside the tank.
• Water Pooling Around the Heater: This may signal a slow leak or failing internal components and should be addressed immediately.

Prompt water heater maintenance and repair helps extend the life of your unit, protects your plumbing system, and prevents costly water damage. If you’re unsure whether your heater needs a repair or replacement, we can inspect it and provide honest guidance.

When to Repair a Water Heater vs. Replace It

Sometimes, repairing a water heater makes sense. Other times, replacing the unit is the smarter, more cost-effective option. We’ll help you make the right call based on these factors:

Replace Your Water Heater If:

• The unit is 10–15 years old or older
• You’ve needed multiple repairs in the last year
• Your tank is rusting or showing signs of corrosion
• There’s excessive water pooling or leaks
• Your hot water supply no longer meets your family’s needs

We’ll assess your current system and recommend whether a repair or a full water heater installation is more practical. If replacement is needed, we’ll help you choose the right type of water heater—from electric to gas or tankless—and ensure a smooth, affordable installation.

FAQs About Water Heater Repair in Bucks & Montgomery County

Why is my water heater not heating?

A malfunctioning thermostat, broken heating elements, or tripped circuit breaker may be the cause. In gas models, a faulty pilot light could be to blame. Ray’s Heating & Air will diagnose and fix the issue quickly.

Can a leaking water heater be repaired?

Yes, depending on the source. Leaks from valves, water lines, or fittings are often repairable. If the leak is coming from the tank itself, especially in older units, a replacement is usually necessary.

How long does it take to repair a water heater?

Most repairs can be completed in a single visit. Our technicians carry common replacement parts and tools to fix most water heater problems on the spot.

Is it worth repairing an old water heater?

If your unit is over 10 years old and you’re experiencing frequent problems or reduced performance, replacement is often the better option. We’ll provide an honest assessment and help you compare long-term repair and replacement costs.

What should I do if I notice water pooling under my heater?

Call a professional immediately. Water pooling often indicates a leak or failing component. Quick action can prevent water damage and protect your plumbing system.

Can I prevent heater issues with regular maintenance?

Absolutely. Regular maintenance—including flushing the tank, checking valves, inspecting heating elements, and adjusting water temperature—helps catch problems early and extends your water heater’s lifespan.
