Water Heaters Greenville

Area homeowners who need water heater repair or plumbing services in Greenville, SC, should trust Tuck & Howell Plumbing, Heating & Air. Our team specializes in water heaters and has decades of experience. Perhaps the most common mistake homeowners make when it comes to water heaters is waiting too long to call us. Those problems probably won’t go away on their own and will only become more expensive if ignored.

Top-Rated, Energy-Efficient Water Heaters

The accumulation of sediment and limescale is Greenville’s most common cause of water heater repair. It’s why we recommend homeowners have us proactively flush their tank system or descale their tankless system at least annually. With tank water heaters, checking the sacrificial anode rod and replacing it before it wears out is important.

That buildup can manifest in many different ways, including reduced energy efficiency. With a tank system, you may also experience knocking sounds. For both tank and tankless systems, it can cause inconsistent water temperatures. It can also affect water pressure. Many people believe pressure issues will be exclusive to the hot water, but that isn’t always the case. Limescale buildup, for instance, can be so harmful that it accumulates inside the pipes.

Many of our customers have gas-fired instead of electric water heating systems. You should contact us if your pilot light is any color other than blue or if you can’t keep it lit. It’s also reasonable to schedule an annual inspection to ensure your unit is venting correctly.

If you have an older water heater, replacing it may be better than repairing it again. Old water heaters can be surprisingly expensive to run. With water heater replacement, you benefit from the newness and perhaps a decade or more of technological innovation.

A new water heater is also an opportunity to reevaluate your household’s water usage. Maybe you need a larger tank or no longer need a large tank anymore. You may also want to consider investing in a tankless system. On-demand water heaters cost more but can save you considerably in the long term.

Watch for these other signs you may need to repair or replace your water heater:

• Odd noises
• Strange smells
• Running out of hot water
• Increased energy consumption
