Signs You Need Water Heater Service

Your water heater may not fail all at once. In many cases, small issues build up over time before turning into a major problem.

Call Estes if you notice:

No Hot Water

If your water heater is not producing hot water, the issue may be related to the thermostat, heating elements, gas supply, pilot light, or internal tank failure.

Inconsistent Water Temperature

Water that turns hot, then cold, then hot again can point to sediment buildup, worn components, or a water heater that is no longer keeping up with your household demand.

Leaks or Pooling Water

Water around your tank is never normal. A leak may come from a valve, fitting, connection, or the tank itself. A leaking tank often requires replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get quick answers to common questions about Water Heaters, pricing, repairs, installation, and what to expect from service.

How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement?

If your water heater is newer and the issue is minor, repair may be the right choice. If the tank is leaking, the unit is older, or repairs are becoming frequent, replacement may be more cost-effective.

Do you install both tank and tankless water heaters?

Yes. Estes Services installs both traditional tank water heaters and tankless water heaters.

Do you offer free estimates for water heater replacement?

Yes. Estes offers free in-home estimates on new water heaters.

Why is my water heater making noise?

Popping, rumbling, or banging sounds are often caused by sediment buildup inside the tank. A plumber can inspect the system and recommend the best next step.

Is a leaking water heater dangerous?

A leaking water heater should be addressed quickly. Depending on where the leak is coming from, it could cause water damage or indicate tank failure.

How long does a water heater installation take?

Many standard water heater installations can be completed the same day, but timing depends on your home's setup and whether code updates or system upgrades are needed.

Can I switch from a tank water heater to a tankless water heater?

Yes, but switching to tankless may require plumbing, gas, electrical, or venting upgrades. An in-home estimate helps determine what is needed.

How often should I schedule maintenance for my water heater?

Once a year is ideal. Regular flushing and safety checks help prevent breakdowns and extend the life of the unit.

What size water heater is right for my home?

The size you need depends on your household size and how much hot water you use. For most families, a 40 to 50-gallon tank is sufficient. However, homes with higher water demands or those using tankless systems are typically sized according to the flow rate.

Water Heaters Tankless. Navien

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless systems are an efficient, on-demand solution for your home's water needs. One of the benefits of a tankless water heater installation is a reduction in energy consumption because hot water is not preheated and stored in the tank. Instead, new water is heated as needed, and there is no waiting for the tank to fill up.

Rheem Tank Water Heaters

Tank Water Heaters

Electric tank water heaters are an excellent choice for homeowners who require reliable hot water. The Marathon electric water heater by Rheem has a 50-gallon capacity and features a non-metallic tank that prevents rust and corrosion. Additionally, it provides an on-demand solution to cater to your home's water needs. Installing a tankless water heater offers the added benefit of reducing energy consumption, as hot water is not preheated and stored in a tank. Instead, new water is heated as needed, and the tank does not wait to fill up.
