Expert Water Heater Repair
Many issues can arise with a water heater. Most problems originate from the power supply, heating element, thermostat, or leaks in valves. When we arrive, we check for tripped circuit breakers and failing heating elements. If any plumbing connections leak, we tighten fittings and replace damaged components. In cases of a faulty thermostat, we run diagnostics to determine whether it needs repair or replacement.
If the water heater lacks sufficient power, it might have a tripped limit switch. We test the switch and inspect the wiring to identify the issue. If the switch has tripped, we will reset it and monitor the system. Sometimes, faulty wiring overheats, necessitating professional repair. A broken heating element can cause problems like low hot water volume. Repairing the heating element isn’t a DIY task. It requires electrical expertise and specialized tools, which only a trained plumber can provide.
If you experience tepid water at normal volume, sediment buildup likely affects the tank. In this case, we flush the tank and clean out the sediment, restoring the heater’s performance so you can enjoy hot water again.
We can help with all kinds of water heater repair issues in Sarasota:

If you notice frequent repairs and inconsistent water temperatures, it may be time for a new water heater installation.

A new unit can increase efficiency and provide a steady supply of hot water. Our plumbers are ready to help you decide if you need a replacement.
