List of types of water heaters and how they work. Tankless (instant hot water, energy-efficient), gas on-demand (instant hot water, needs a gas line), storage tank (stores hot water for later use), hybrid (uses air for heat).

Types of Water Heaters We Repair

Water heaters come in various types, each with its own set of components and potential issues. Our experienced service professionals are equipped to handle repairs on a wide range of water heaters, including:

  • Tankless water heater: This energy-efficient option heats water on demand, eliminating the need for a storage tank. It provides endless hot water but may require higher water flow rates.
  • Gas on-demand water heater: This type of tankless water heater uses natural gas to heat water instantly as needed. It offers similar benefits to electric models but requires a gas line connection. On-demand water heaters are often small-capacity units best-suited to heat water for a single bathroom in a home or a faucet in a kitchen.
  • Tank water heater: Also known as conventional storage tank or traditional water heaters, these units store heated water in a tank for future use. While affordable, they can be less energy efficient and prone to sediment buildup.
  • Hybrid water heater: Sometimes called a heat pump water heater, hybrid heaters extract heat from the air to warm water. Hybrid water heaters can utilize both gas and electricity to operate and tend to be more energy efficient than traditional heaters. They are well-suited for warmer climates and offer significant energy savings but typically have higher upfront costs.

Common Water Heater Issues Aire Serv Fixes

Tankless water heaters are great for homeowners and the environment. But of course, anything mechanical will eventually need repair.

The three most common tankless water heater repairs include:

  1. Heater won’t activate: This usually means the system isn’t getting sufficient electricity or gas. It could be a wire short, ignition malfunction, gas leak, or low water flow.
  2. Corroded gas burner: Condensation can build up near the gas burner, leading to corrosion that may block the gas line.
  3. Overheating: If the airflow is blocked on either the vent or the exhaust, it may cause your system to overheat. On occasion, temperature sensors can malfunction, which also leads to overheating.

FAQs About Water Heater Repair

Aire Serv has encountered a wide range of water heater repair issues over the years. With our extensive experience, we’re uniquely qualified to provide informative answers to your questions.

A tankless water heater is an on-demand water heating system — it activates only when hot water is needed. Cold water enters the unit, where it is flash-heated and sent out to the hot water line to your sink or shower.

For minor problems, repairs might be cost-effective. However, if your water heater is old or the repair cost is close to replacement, it might be better to invest in a new unit.

Common reasons for a water heater to stop heating include a tripped circuit breaker, a pilot light issue (for gas water heaters), a faulty thermostat, or sediment buildup.

Mineral buildup is the most common cause of tankless water heater failure. This occurs when hard water deposits inside the unit, reducing its efficiency and eventually leading to breakdowns.

The average lifespan for water heaters is anywhere from eight to 12 years. However, tankless water heaters can last more than 20 years and potentially longer with proper maintenance.
