A reliable water heater is essential for the comfort and functionality of your Ontario home—especially during the colder months. From warm showers to clean dishes and laundry, hot water plays a big role in everyday living. That’s why recognizing early warning signs of water heater trouble is so important. When something’s off, it’s time to call in the professionals at Marx Mechanical Heating and Cooling for a fast and lasting fix.
Common Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair
1. Inconsistent Water Temperature
If your water goes from hot to cold without warning or never reaches the temperature you expect, your water heater may be struggling with a faulty thermostat, broken heating element, or sediment buildup. Don’t wait for a complete breakdown—get it checked.
2. Unusual Noises
Loud banging, popping, or rumbling sounds from your tank often signal sediment buildup. Over time, this can damage the tank, reduce efficiency, and lead to leaks. A professional flush or repair can restore performance and prolong the life of your unit.
3. Discoloured or Rusty Water
If your hot water has a brown or rusty tint, your tank may be corroding from the inside—especially if you have an older unit. This is not only unpleasant but can also affect your plumbing system if not addressed promptly.
4. Water Leaks Around the Tank
Pooling water or moisture near your water heater is a red flag. It could mean a loose connection, cracked valve, or worse—a failing tank. Quick professional attention can help avoid major water damage.
5. Age of the Unit
Most water heaters last between 8–12 years. If yours is getting up there and acting up, a repair may help in the short term, but it’s also a good time to start planning for a replacement. Our team at Marx Mechanical Heating and Cooling can help you explore energy-efficient models and discuss your options.
