Why Isn’t My Water Heater Working?

If your water heater stops working, there are a few things you can try before reaching out to our licensed experts. If you have an electric water heater, make sure you turn off the power before trying any of these methods. 

If your water heater isn’t working, try the following: 

• Make sure your hot water demands don't exceed your water heater's capacity. If your household’s hot water demands exceed your unit’s capacity, it might be time to invest in a larger, more energy-efficient unit. This is especially true for older models or aging water heaters nearing the end of their lifespan.
• Flush your water heater. Taking time to schedule seasonal tune-ups and maintenance is a vital part of keeping your water heater operating reliably.
• Check your thermostat settings. Check your thermostat settings to make sure everything is working properly. Normal settings should be between 110 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Tighten the heating element mounting bolt. Be careful to avoid overtightening.

If these methods don’t work, reach out to our certified experts at R.S. Andrews to schedule prompt water heater repair! Our team is available 24/7 for all your water heater needs. 

How Long Do Water Heaters Last in Atlanta? 

Water heaters typically last between 8 to 12 years, depending on the type of system, local water quality, and other factors. While Georgia’s mild climate helps prevent extreme wear and tear, regular maintenance and timely repairs are essential to maximize the longevity and efficiency of your water heater. If your unit is nearing the 10-year mark, it’s time to consider a professional replacement to avoid costly breakdowns and expenses. 

When Should I Replace My Water Heater?

As a property owner, knowing when it’s time to replace your water heater is essential to keep your plumbing system running in tip-top shape! 

The lifespan of your water heater depends on various factors, such as: 

• System type: The type and quality of your water heater play a crucial role in its anticipated lifespan. Tankless water heaters typically last longer than traditional tank models.
• Water quality: If you live in an area with hard water, this can lead to sediment build-up and affect the efficiency and lifespan of your water heater. 
• Usage frequency: Higher usage patterns can increase wear and tear on your system, affecting its durability over time.
• Installation quality: Proper installation by a certified professional is key to keeping your water heater operating reliably throughout its lifetime. If your water heater wasn't newly installed by a licensed expert, this can reduce its lifespan.   
• Maintenance routine: Regular maintenance is important to extend the lifespan of your water heater. Skipping seasonal tune-ups can reduce its lifespan, diminishing its efficiency and durability over time.
• Environmental factors: Depending on where you live, local weather conditions can also impact the performance and longevity of your water heater. 

Choosing a Water Heater Replacement

At R.S. Andrews, we install a variety of water heater systems to accommodate your specific preferences and budget. Whether it’s time to replace an aging unit or upgrade to a more energy-efficient model, our team can help you find a suitable replacement for your household’s hot water needs. 

Common types of water heaters we work on include: 

Tank Water Heaters

The most common type of water heater is a traditional tank system. These units store water in a large 20-80 gallon tank and heat it for immediate use.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters are energy-efficient units capable of heating water on demand, eliminating the need for a large storage tank.

Electric Water Heaters

Electric water heaters use electricity to heat water for residential or commercial properties. These systems are typically more affordable upfront but can lead to higher energy bills.

Gas-Fired Water Heaters

Gas-fired water heaters use natural gas or propane to heat water. They generally have lower operating costs compared to electric models, making them a popular choice for homeowners and business owners alike.

Hot Water Circulating Pumps

Hot water circulating pumps are designed to improve the efficiency of your water heater and reduce your wait time for hot water. They work by continuously circulating hot water throughout your pipes, providing instant hot water at any faucet.

Hot Water Dispensers

Hot water dispensers are a convenient option for quick access to hot water for making tea, coffee, or cooking. They can be installed next to your sink or in other designated locations.
