Water Heater Replacement in Northern Virginia and Washington D.C.

Your water heater is one of the most important appliances in your home. You depend on it for daily tasks, including washing dishes, showering, and more. However, it’s also one of the most power-hungry appliances in your home. Failures can rack up expensive utility bills and lead to serious leaks that could damage your home’s interior. That’s not a situation to trifle with, so it’s crucial to seek out a repair in good time.

Reasons Why Water Heaters Break Down

As with any appliance, water heaters are prone to wear and tear over the years. If your water heater breaks down, it may be due to:

  • Age
  • Mineral and sediment buildup
  • Loose parts
  • Loose electrical connections
  • A failing thermostat

A plumber should address all water heater failures as soon as possible to avoid extensive issues.

Water Heater Repair vs. Replacement

If your core water heater components fail, your appliance could be rendered irreparable. When your tank fails, you’ll need a replacement rather than a repair. Corrosive air can be just as destructive. Old age is another complicated problem to fix, so you can expect frequent, expensive breakdowns in your future. Too much internal pressure can quickly pass the point of no return. If you’ve noticed your water pressure has changed, it’s advisable to call a professional. If your appliance breaks down at the end of its service life, it rarely makes financial sense to repair it.

Are DIY Water Heater Replacements a Good Idea?

Water heaters are dangerous territory for homeowners. They have live, exposed wires and the potential to burst. A professional repair comes with all the right tools and parts, making it much more effective than a DIY repair. United Air Temp is a leading plumbing company in the DC, MD, and VA areas.

FAQ

Water heaters have a life span of 12 to 15 years. Once you’ve reached the end of that period, it’s best to seek out a new water heater installation.

If your water heater runs out of hot water earlier than it once did, your thermostat might be to blame.

If you run out of hot water quickly or are experiencing inconsistent temperatures, you might have a leak.

What Our Clients Are Saying
testimonial_image The tech was at my home less than 10 minutes and gone within 20 minutes due to having my A/C up and running. I really appreciate his response to my home and working with my son due to me being out of town, but we spoke on the phone.
testimonial_image The technician arrived promptly, wore a mask, was very courteous and professional. I am generally very satisfied with service by United Air Temp. In addition to good service (they repair well), it is easy to speak to a person, and promptly. Thank you.
testimonial_image Great service! I called because I was under the impression the AC was not working upstairs. Someone came on the same day, checked out the system, and ensured everything was working. He was polite, thorough, and friendly.
testimonial_image Tech was very attentive and professional. He went out his way to explain everything to me as he was doing it. I appreciated him keeping me informed.
testimonial_image The service technician was awesome! He spent the extra time necessary to ensure the leak in our system was fixed, the system fully recharged and everything was functioning as it should. He was extremely thorough and very professional. We are extremely pleased with the result!
