Signs Your Water Heater is Broken: Know When to Call the Pros
Is your tankless, electric, or gas water heater acting up? Look out for these warning signs that indicate it's time to bring in the experts.
- No hot water (either throughout your home or in specific areas)
- Running out of hot water faster than usual
- Cold or lukewarm water instead of hot
- Discolored or foul-smelling water
- Leaks from your water heater
- Unusual noises coming from your tank
- Decreased water pressure
- Aging unit (around 7-10 years for traditional tank models, or 20 years for tankless models)
Aire Serv® of Mid Missouri offers repairs for broken water heaters, which may involve replacing parts, flushing the tank, or fixing leaky pipes. However, if you find yourself frequently dealing with repairs on an inefficient older model, it might be worth considering a complete replacement. And if you constantly run out of hot water, upgrading to a larger tank size could be the solution.
Common Water Heater Problems We Expertly Fix
When it comes to your water heater, we know that getting it back in working order is a top priority. Our expert team can tackle a range of issues including:
- Broken thermostat: If your water is running cold or too hot, a faulty thermostat could be the culprit. Adjusting it to 120°F should do the trick.
- Faulty heating element: Is your water not heating up properly? It could be due to a failing heating element.
- Power problems: For electric water heaters, check if the circuit breaker has tripped. If not, it may be an issue with the wires that require professional attention.
- Leaks and puddles: Leaking water heaters can have multiple causes. Simple fixes like tightening loose bolts can be done yourself, but for broken parts or corrosion, it's best to call a professional.
- Rusty, smelly, or metallic water: Rust indicates corrosion while foul odors could mean bacterial growth. Flushing the tank may help temporarily, but for deteriorating tanks or anode rod replacement, seek professional assistance.
- Sediment buildup: Buildup inside the tank can cause noise and slow heating. Regular tank flushing can prevent or resolve this issue.
- Pilot light and burner issues: If you're having trouble lighting the pilot light or if the burner keeps going out, our experienced professionals can diagnose and address various underlying causes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is your water heater in need of repair or replacement?
Diagnose potential issues by checking thermostat settings, tightening heating element bolts, and inspecting circuit breakers. Unsure whether to repair or replace your water heater? Our service professionals will recommend the best course of action if quick fixes aren't solving the problem.
How much does a residential water heater cost?
The cost of a new water heater depends on factors such as gas or electric, tankless or traditional tank model, and your home's layout and hookups. Contact us for a personalized quote and recommendations based on your needs.
What options are there for showering when the water heater is broken?
Opt for a bath instead. Fill your tub partially using the faucet, then add boiling water from the stove until you reach a comfortable temperature. If a bath isn't feasible, create a mixture of cold and boiling water in a bucket or bowl to clean yourself with a washcloth and soap.
