Even in the height of summer, a warm shower suddenly blasting you with freezing cold water is probably the last thing you want to experience! Different types of water heaters have different maintenance issues throughout their lifespans, but there are some common problems that may occur no matter what type of tank you have. That’s where Kinkaid can help.
Kinkaid HVAC is a water heater installation company in Ambler that’s been serving the Delaware Valley with quality HVAC services for four generations. We service all types of water heaters and pride ourselves on delivering customers quick, reliable and affordable services.
To avoid water heater headaches, let’s familiarize ourselves with water heaters and their potential issues:
- No Hot Water – No hot water could put the whole family in a bad mood! Here’s what the problem could be: If you have an electric water heater, an electric heating element may not be functioning properly. If you have a gas heater, check the pilot light. If it’s off, no gas is being delivered which means your water can’t be heated! Turn it on and the problem may be solved.
- Not Enough Hot Water – Isn’t it the worst when you wake up before work, jump in the shower and have the hot water turn cold on you halfway through your shampoo routine? Usually this problem has to do with the water heater’s thermostat, which is attached to the valve. Check that it’s working by comparing the reading to the actual water temperature.
- Black or Rust-Colored Water – Is brown water coming out of the sink as you start to brush your teeth? Don’t panic! Usually the dark water is due to a dissolved anode – a metal part of your water heater. Over time the anode can rust, so if you see rusty-colored water, it’s time for an anode change!
