Hot Water Tank Installation in Zanesville

Having adequate hot water is vital for personal hygiene, cleaning, and cooking. Nobody wants to think about getting ready to take their morning shower, only to discover that their hot water heater has stopped working. But if it happens to you, you should know you can rely on Ables, Inc. to help. 

How Does a Water Heater Work?

Your water heater fills with cold water, and the heating element is located at the bottom of the tank. When cold water is heated, it naturally rises to the top of the tank, where it’s distributed whenever you turn on a hot water tap or run your washing machine. More cold water replaces the used hot water in the tank, keeping your supply of hot water consistent.

 

Signs That You Should Give Us a Call About Your Water Heater

1. No Hot Water: Depending on the source of your heating energy, the issue could be with the electrical components of your water heater. If you have a gas-fueled water heater, you might have an issue with the pilot light. The other possibility is that your thermostat has stopped working correctly. 
2. Not Enough Hot Water: Hot water heater tanks can experience sediment buildup at the bottom, reducing their water capacity. Your thermostat could be too low or not working properly to heat up your water. Another possibility is that your hot water needs have changed, and you might need a bigger tank.
3. Strange Noises Coming From Your Tank: This is a sign that you need to call us for a visit. Popping or screeching sounds should be dealt with right away.
4. Water Leaking: If you see water dripping or pooling around your tank, the pipes, valves, or connections need immediate attention before any severe damage occurs. 
5. Discolored Water: When your hot water comes out of the tap rust-colored, it might be a sign of an issue with your water heater. 

What Can Go Wrong With My Water Heater?

Your water heater continually works to ensure you have hot water when you need it. When it stops producing hot water, it is generally because of the wear and tear from many years of reliable use. The other common issue with water heaters includes:

Corrosion Risk: The most common issue is corrosion, which occurs when water and metal interact.

Anode Rod Function:

• Designed to absorb minerals in the water and protect the tank from damage.
• Should be checked every few years and replaced if it starts losing effectiveness.

Sediment Buildup:

• Over time, sediment can accumulate in the tank, reducing its capacity and making it harder to keep water hot.
• This can be addressed by flushing the tank once a year as part of regular maintenance.

Other Potential Problems: Issues can also arise with the electrical system, pipes, valves, and other components essential for hot water production.
