Walton Knows Water Heaters

Installation and Service

The water heater in your northern Pennsylvania home is very important. It provides all the warm and hot water you and your family need for bathing, washing dishes, cleaning clothes, washing hands, and more. In fact, on average, a home’s water heating needs make up about 20% of the home’s energy costs. Unfortunately, most people don’t spend much time thinking about their water heater until something goes wrong.

Water heaters don’t last forever. Your water heater might be close to the end of its life if it can’t keep up with your family’s need for hot water, if you’ve started to notice leaks coming from the bottom of your tank, or if it’s making strange sounds.

At Clyde S. Walton, we’ve installed thousands of new water heaters over the years. So, we know our way around a water heater. That includes traditional storage tank water heaters fueled by heating oil, electricity, and gas as well as extremely efficient propane tankless water heaters.

If you’re planning to stick with the water heater you already have for a bit longer, our service technicians have extensive experience performing repairs and providing preventative water heater maintenance to prolong the life of your water heater and keep it working as efficiently as possible.

Is It Time to Replace Your Water Heater?

Most water heaters don’t just fail out of the blue. There are usually warning signs beforehand. Here are some indicators that your water heater may be getting ready to break down and needs immediate attention from a professional:

An unexplainable increase in your energy bills. Water heaters get less and less efficient as they age. If your energy bills are going up and it isn’t because of an increase in fuel prices or your family’s usage, your water heater may be to blame.
A leak and/or rusty water. Get in the habit of checking under your tank for puddles. You should also be concerned if your tank is producing rusty water.
Hard water. When lime accumulates in your tank, you often get hard water. Hard water can cause white marks on your silverware and glassware after they’ve been washed.
Growling or gurgling sounds. When sediment builds up, it can cause your storage tank to make weird noises.
Age. Even if you don’t have any of the problems with your water heater, you should start considering an upgrade to a new and more efficient model once your water heater is over 10 years old.
