And, the moment you need help, give us a call and we will send someone out to take a look.
What should you do if you don’t have any hot water? Well, there a few steps you can take. The first thing you should do is check to see if the pilot light on your water heater is lit. Follow the directions on the heater to make sure that the pilot light is working properly. If you are unsure how to do this, call your local gas company. They may send out a serviceman, possibly at no charge, to help you. If you smell gas, contact your local gas company immediately so they can turn the gas off for you and your family’s safety and assess the situation.
Also, please note that many newer water heaters have no pilot light. Instead they have an electronic ignition. If you have followed the directions for your heater so that the pilot is lit (or it has an electronic ignition) and you know that the gas is flowing to the heater, but it’s still not producing hot water, try turning up the water temperature.
If you can’t get the hot water heater working, we can send out one of our experienced technicians to fix the problem for you. We will determine the source of the problem and fix it for you to get your hot water flowing again. If we determine your water heater requires replacement, we will let you know that as well.
When is water heater replacement necessary? Over time, sediment builds up in your water heater, causing issues and even water heater failure. If you want your water heater to be as efficient as possible, you should have a water heater replacement every 10-15 years. You can keep one functioning for a while after that point, but you will be spending more money than is necessary.
So, don’t hesitate any longer; contact the experts at All Ways Drains! We are the experts in water heater repair for the Twin Cities and can also provide water heater replacement if necessary. Call All Ways Drains at 612-922-9422, or you can contact us and get a Free Estimate.
