Hot water is a crucial feature of a modern home. Keep your home comfortable with professional repair services by Total Plumbing & Heating. Find out how to spot the signs you need water heater repairs and how we can help restore your warm water supply in Northern Illinois.

Signs You Need Water Heater Repairs

It may be obvious if your water heater has completely failed, but minor repair issues are more challenging to spot. Here are some signs to look for before calling our team to repair this essential component:

• Short supply of hot water
• Erratic water temperatures
• Discolored water
• High energy bill
• Unusual noises from the heater

If you notice any of these signs, or if your hot water heater hasn’t been inspected in a few years, don’t hesitate to reach out to our local team in Northern Illinois. You don’t have to wait for a maintenance sign to schedule an inspection. Schedule an inspection every year for a quick checkup of your system. We’ll inspect the tank, heating system, and plumbing lines to prevent corrosion, leaks, and other serious damage that may be occurring without your notice. We can also recommend an energy-efficient alternative to your existing, outdated heater. Find out how we diagnose and repair these issues with our affordable, reliable services.

Our Services

At Total Plumbing & Heating, we know water heaters. We’ve been repairing units throughout the area since 1975. Our highly trained technicians can arrive at your home with same-day service calls to perform these and other services:

• Heating element installation:

  • The heating element of your electric water heater heats the tank full of water. Over time, these elements can become damaged or inefficient. Replacing one or both elements is a very quick and affordable installation process that our technicians can perform.

• Repaired valve:

  • All water heaters have a safety valve to avoid excess pressure building up in the tank. This valve can become damaged in two ways. One is that it may be stuck closed, which prevents excess pressure from being released. Another is that the valve is stuck open. In this case, your water heater will start leaking water in your utility room or basement. A professional from Total Heating & Plumbing can quickly clean or replace a stuck valve.

• Replacement burner assembly:

  • Gas water heaters use a pilot light and burner to heat water. Over time, this assembly can become corroded and require maintenance. Failure to keep the burner maintained can risk inconsistent water temperatures or a dangerous gas leak.

• New water heater:

  • Update your existing water heater with an energy-efficient alternative. Modern water heaters are surprisingly efficient and can provide consistent hot water throughout your home for a lower monthly rate. Work with our team to receive the best water heater for your home size and water usage.
