The most common type of water heater in the United States is the familiar large metal drum. Although tankless water heaters are becoming more popular, tank-style heaters are still prevalent in most homes, usually found in laundry rooms and basements. While they may seem like simple machines, water heaters have a clever design that uses the principle that heat rises, providing you with hot water when you need it with minimal hassle.

Your electric water heater consists of several smaller parts, including dip tubes, shut-off valves, heat-out pipes, thermostats, drain valves, the heating mechanism, and more.

Since all of these parts need to work together seamlessly, our professionals recommend having your water heater tuned up at least once a year. During a tune-up, our technicians make sure each of these components is functioning efficiently as part of the entire system.

When you have any problems with your electric water heater, it can cause a significant disruption in your daily life. Several issues can arise with your water heater, including:

• No hot water
• Inadequate hot water
• Water leaks
• Rust development
• Odorous water
• Rust-colored water

If you encounter any of these problems, call our professionals immediately. We can help you determine the source and resolve the issue promptly and professionally.
