Water Heater Repair

You rely on your hot water heater more than you probably realize, so when trouble comes, you need a fast solution. That's where Epic Plumbing comes in. Our team can always be relied upon to troubleshoot, diagnose, and solve all types of water heater problems efficiently and affordably.

There are several signs that indicate your water heater may be in need of repair:

• Firstly, if you notice a significant decrease in hot water temperature or if the water doesn't get hot at all, it could be a sign of a malfunctioning heating element or a faulty thermostat. 

• Another sign is the presence of rust-colored or foul-smelling water, which could indicate corrosion or a buildup of sediment inside the tank. 

• Additionally, if you hear strange noises, such as popping or banging sounds coming from the water heater, it may be a result of mineral deposits or a failing heating element. 

• Any leaks or pooling water around the unit should also be addressed promptly, as they can lead to further damage. 

If you observe any of these signs, don't wait to call our Friendswood water heater repair experts for service.

Water Heater Replacement

Water heaters won't last forever, no matter how well they are taken care of. When your water heater is too old or too damaged to be repaired, you will need to install a new one.

There are several indicators that suggest it may be time to replace your water heater:

• If your water heater is more than 10-15 years old, it's approaching the end of its lifespan and should be considered for replacement. 

• Consistent decline in hot water production or a failure to meet your household's demand is another common sign that you need a new water heater.

• Rusty or discolored water, even after flushing the tank, can also indicate internal corrosion and signal the need for a new unit. If the tank has begun rusting, there is no way to fix it—the unit must be replaced.

• If you experience frequent repairs or notice an increase in energy consumption, it may be more cost-effective to invest in a new, energy-efficient water heater.

Tankless Water Heater Installation

In the market for a new water heater? Now is a great time to think about upgrading to a tankless model. Tankless water heaters provide hot water on-demand, eliminating the need for a storage tank and ensuring a continuous supply of hot water. Tankless heaters are more energy-efficient than conventional storage tank models, as they only heat water when needed, resulting in lower utility bills. Plus, tankless water heaters have a longer lifespan and are more compact compared to traditional tank heaters. Lastly, their design reduces the risk of leaks and water damage. 

Though the upfront cost may be higher, the long-term savings and convenience make a tankless water heater an attractive option. Be sure to task our Friendswood water heater installation technicians for more information about your options.
