It varies between different manufacturers, but the typical lifespan of a water heater is 8-12 years depending on the unit’s design, water quality and maintenance/upkeep.
The number one reason we receive calls about a water heater repair is when your hot water is not at the desired temperature you are accustomed to.
Below we have listed some ideas you can use to troubleshoot your water heater issues to see if you are able to rectify the issue on your own before calling in one of our Ottawa Plumbers.
Another item you may want to take a peek at is whether a fuse has blown or your breaker has tripped, the reason for your heater to be not working may be as simple as that. Remember, if your unsure of anything, don’t touch it and give one of our Ottawa Plumbers a call. We are here to help with your water heater repair.
If you’ve worked with the tips we’ve listed and you aren’t seeing results, it’s time to call in the professionals for a water heater repair. At this point you truly do need the help of a licensed plumber. Not just to get your water heater up to speed properly, it’s also a matter of safety for you and your home. Without proper knowledge the potential to cause more harm than good exists. You could cause your tank to leak and/or receive quite a burn from boiling water, not to mention the electrical component while working with water. It could be as simple as replacing a pressure relief valve or tightening fittings but if you are unsure it is better to be safe than sorry.

The service rep showed up promptly and was very courteous in explaining the issues at hand with my water heater. Diagnosis was quick and after some routine maintenance the water heater was working again. I would definitely use your service again. Tom
Sent a technician the same day and he arrived on time and was quick to assess the water heater repair. He had to go get a part and returned promptly to fix it. Thank you!
