How Can I Tell My Water Heater Needs Service?

A change in hot water performance can indicate a problem with the water heater, its controls, or another part of the plumbing system. Schedule an inspection if you notice:

• No Hot Water. A failed heating element, burner problem, ignition issue, thermostat, or other component may prevent the unit from heating.
• Not Enough Hot Water. Reduced capacity can result from equipment problems, sediment accumulation, changing household demand, or an undersized system.
• Discolored Water. Rust-colored or otherwise discolored hot water warrants investigation to determine whether the source is the water heater or another part of the plumbing system.
• Water Around The Tank. Moisture near a water heater can come from a plumbing connection, valve, condensation, or a leaking tank.
• Unusual Noises. Popping, rumbling, and other new sounds can indicate sediment or another condition that should be evaluated.
• Changes In Water Temperature. Water that becomes excessively hot or repeatedly changes temperature can point to a control or equipment problem.

Our plumbers can inspect the system before recommending water heater repair or replacement.

Complete Water Heater Services

The appropriate water heater service depends on the condition of the equipment. A repair may make sense when an individual component has failed, while an aging or leaking tank may make replacement the more practical option.

Water Heater Repair

Water heater repair begins with diagnosing why the system isn’t performing properly. Depending on the equipment, repairs may involve thermostats, heating elements, burners, ignition components, valves, controls, or related plumbing connections.

The age and condition of the unit also matter. Our plumbers will explain what they find so you can compare repair with replacement when both are reasonable options.

Water Heater Installation

Proper water heater installation involves more than connecting a new tank. The equipment must be appropriately sized for household demand and installed according to applicable manufacturer requirements and plumbing, fuel, venting, and electrical requirements.

Vito Services installs traditional tank systems as well as tankless water heaters. We’ll discuss capacity, available installation space, fuel or energy source, and your household’s hot water needs before recommending equipment.

Water Heater Replacement

Water heater replacement may be appropriate when a tank leaks, the equipment has deteriorated, repairs are becoming frequent, or replacement makes more financial sense than another major repair.

Modern equipment may also differ in size from the water heater currently installed in your home. If your unit sits in a closet or another confined area, we’ll account for available space while evaluating replacement options.

Financing options are available for qualifying customers when a planned or unexpected water heater replacement represents a larger household expense.

Water Heater Maintenance

Maintenance can help identify developing problems and address conditions that affect system operation. The appropriate service depends on the type of water heater and manufacturer recommendations.

Vito occasionally encounters equipment our team installed decades earlier. At one Potomac home, we recently replaced a water heater that Vito had originally installed in 1996. The 28-year-old installation was a memorable example of why proper installation and ongoing care matter over the life of water-heating equipment.

Tank Or Tankless? Our Plumbers Can Help You Decide

Traditional tank water heaters store a set volume of heated water for use throughout the home. They’re familiar to many homeowners and are available in a range of capacities.

Tankless systems heat water as it flows through the equipment rather than maintaining a stored tank of hot water. This eliminates standby losses associated with continually maintaining the temperature of stored water, although actual operating costs depend on household usage, fuel costs, equipment efficiency, and other factors.

Tankless equipment also requires correct sizing. A system must be capable of supporting the flow rates and temperature rise required by the household. Our plumbers can compare both options based on your home’s actual hot water demands rather than assuming one technology works best for every property.

Enjoy Energy-Efficient, Reliable Hot Water

Water heating represents a substantial portion of household energy use, which makes equipment efficiency worth considering when replacing an older system. New water heaters must meet applicable federal efficiency requirements, and available models vary in efficiency, capacity, dimensions, and operating characteristics.

Replacement equipment can also be physically different from an older unit. Before installation, our plumbers account for the available mechanical space, connections, venting where applicable, and household hot water demand.

The goal is to select a water heater that fits both the property and the way your household uses hot water.
