Types of Electric Water Heaters

  1. Electric Tank Water Heater: An electric storage tank heater features an electric element to heat water. Electric tank heaters are used widely for residential water heating. The water is heated inside the tank and delivered at the homeowner's convenience. Electric tank water heaters are cost-effective and safer to install and use.

  2. Electric Tankless Water Heater: They run on electricity and warm up the water as it travels to the unit through a pipe. This way, an electric tankless water heater ensures an endless hot water supply. Unlike traditional tank water heaters, tankless versions do not store water in the tank. An electric tank water heater lasts longer, is compact, and boasts higher energy efficiency. 

Common Electric Water Heater Repairs

  • No Hot Water:

    A lack of hot water from an electric water heater can be due to various issues. Power loss, heating element failure, and a defective thermostat are the common causes. If a tripped breaker is not the problem, call a professional plumber to diagnose the root cause and fix the issue. A professional can repair or replace the heating element to restore the hot water supply.

  • Inadequate Hot Water:

    If the electric water heater fails to produce enough hot water for the household needs, it may be inadequately sized. When an undersized unit is not the issue, less hot water production can be due to the failure of one or both heating elements. A professional can assess the issue and replace the heating element or recommend a water heater replacement.

  • Water Temperature Is Too Hot:

    Too much hot water from the electric water heater can indicate a high thermostat setting. The homeowner can adjust the thermostat to the desired setting to fix the problem and check if it changes the water temperature. Call a professional for quick diagnosis and resolution if the water temperature is still too high.

  • Water Leaks:

    A cracked storage tank or leaking valves and plumbing connections can cause a water heater to leak. Corrosion and high pressure are other possible causes of water leaks. A leaking water heater is dangerous and can result in water damage and mold growth. Call a professional immediately to determine the leak source and fix it.

  • Rust-Colored Water or Bad Odor:

    Internal corrosion can cause brown or red-tinted water to flow from the faucets. Calling a professional to replace the anode rod can fix the issue. If the water from the water heater smells like rotten eggs, the storage tank might contain harmful bacteria that can even prove fatal. Consult a professional for the most reliable solution.

  • Tank Making Noises:

    Sediment buildup can cause the heating element to overheat and produce strange noises, including rumbling and popping. The best way to fix the issue is to call a professional plumber to clean the water heater. It also indicates that the electric water heater is due for professional maintenance.
