A lot of care needs to be taken if you have a water heater that is more than 10-15 years old in your house. If you are facing too much of issues, then it is a better idea to get the water heater changed with the new one. Most people never stop to consider the amount of wear and tear that a home water heater endures every day and they keep on overlooking the issues.
​
It is when the water heaters breaks down, they realise that something is terribly wrong with the unit and end up paying a lot for the replacement. Each day a family relies on important life support activities like showers, washing laundry, cleaning dishes and other types of household cleaning and this results in water heater working overtime, especially in winters. In this article, we are going to help you by giving you some hot water heater repair tips that will help you recognize the signs that indicate your water heater needs repairs.
The first sign of repair is when water heater starts taking too much time to heat up the water. If you have a storage tank water heater, then you need to be little more patient as it takes a bit of time to heat up the water that is stored inside the tank. The best way to ensure that the heater is taking the right amount of time to heat up the water is to time the overall time taken by the heater, when the heater is running effectively. If you notice a difference in the time taken to heat up the water, then you need to get the heater checked.

A lot of factors contribute to heater taking more time to heat up the water and the two main reasons are sediment deposits around the heating element and thermostat issues. You need to make sure that you are getting the tank flushed on regular basis to keep the sediment deposits at bay. Too much of sediment deposit in the tank also results in rust formation in the tank, and that can be harmful to the health of the family. Thermostat of the water heater needs to be cheeked on regular basis, as it control the time for which the water heater is operational and if it is not going to cut the element on time, then the water heater will consume more than required energy and this will bump up your bills.
​
You also need to check for the other signs like leaks in the pipes, and all the other rumbling and rattling noises that might be coming from the heater while it is working. Keeping a close tab at all these points will help you to save a lot in the repairs in longer run.

I didn't know that long waiting times for your water to heat up is a sign that your water heater needs to be repaired. My wife and I just moved into a new home and we have noticed that it takes a while for the water to get hot. I think we will have someone come look at it and see if there is a problem or if that is just how it is.

It's good to know that a bad sign is if it takes too long for your water to heat up. For the past couple of weeks, I have noticed how the water in my home has been taking a long time to heat up, and I was wondering if that was a sign that something is wrong with my water heater. I'll have to look into hiring a plumber to come and repair any of the issues that my water heater has.

You made a good point when you shared that a water heater that takes too much time to heat up needs repair. Our water heater keeps on acting up. This got me thinking to hire an HVAC contractor that does 24/7 repair service to ensure we are getting help anytime.
