Common Water Heater Issues

Even when our team installs your water heater with care, it may experience problems that require repairs. Fortunately, our water heater technicians have resolved all types of common and uncommon issues, and we’re prepared to deliver fast, effective solutions.

Water heaters in Orlando face extra challenges due to the region’s mineral-rich water supply. This can accelerate sediment buildup and affect your system’s efficiency. Our water heater service team understands these local factors and can recommend steps to help extend the life of your unit. We bring years of experience meeting the unique hot water needs of home and commercial properties in Central Florida, so you can count on a thorough inspection and a plan tailored to your system’s make and model.

If you are experiencing any of these water heater problems, here are some of the most common issues our customers encounter:
  • A lack of hot water: The most obvious problem is when your unit stops producing hot water. In a gas-powered system, this could be due to an extinguished pilot light that needs to be relit or a more serious issue such as a damaged heating element.
  • Leaking: If your unit is leaking, our professionals can inspect it to determine whether it can be repaired or if the system needs replacement.
  • Excess noise: Loud or unusual noises may indicate a damaged heating element or a buildup of sediment inside the unit that should be professionally removed.
  • Cracks: Any cracks should be evaluated by one of our technicians to decide if they can be repaired or if the unit should be replaced.

If you run into water heater issues, you do not need to panic – Solaris Electric can resolve things quickly.

What’s the Average Life Expectancy of a Water Heater?

Several key factors affect the expected lifespan of your water heater:

  • Water quality in your area: The mineral content in Orlando and the greater Central Florida region often leads to sediment buildup, reducing system longevity.
  • Usage patterns: Households with higher hot water demand may see shorter water heater lifespans due to increased stress on the unit.
  • Maintenance schedule: Units that receive regular, professional water heater service tend to last years longer than neglected systems.
  • Type of unit: Electric water heaters generally outlast gas-powered units, with proper care and maintenance.

Like all appliances in your home, your water heater will eventually need to be replaced. These units typically last for a significant amount of time. While every make and model is different, most electric units last from 10 to 20 years. This timeline can vary depending on care and maintenance, as well as the condition of your water. Gas-powered units might not last quite as long as electric systems, usually about 8-12 years.

To extend the life of your water heater, we recommend regular professional maintenance and inspections, especially in Orlando’s humid climate where mineral deposits can develop faster. Our licensed technicians provide water heater service Orlando clients can trust to help prevent corrosion, remove sediment buildup, and keep your system running efficiently throughout the year. Routine service not only helps prevent unexpected breakdowns but can also keep your energy bills lower over the lifespan of your equipment.

When To Replace Your Water Heater

Is your water heater starting to show signs of wear and tear? Before it completely stops working, watch for symptoms indicating it needs to be replaced.

You may need a new water heater if you’ve noticed that your unit is: 

  • Getting old: Your water heater may require replacement if it is approaching the end of its expected 10 to 20-year lifespan.
  • Losing efficiency: If your water heater is becoming less efficient and requires more effort to function, consider replacing it.
  • Rusted or corroded: If you observe rust or corrosion on the unit or see rust in the water, getting a new water heater is a good idea.
  • Leaking: If you find leaks originating from your water heater, it may be time for a replacement.
  • Not producing hot enough water: If your system cannot provide hot water that meets your needs, a replacement may be necessary.
  • Cracked: The presence of cracks in the tank or the system itself is a sign that you should consider a new water heater.
