Upgrade to a Tankless Water Heater for Energy Savings and Convenience
If you're tired of running out of hot water or dealing with high energy bills, it may be time to consider upgrading to a tankless water heater. Unlike traditional water heaters that store and constantly heat a large tank of water, tankless water heaters heat water on demand. This means you'll never run out of hot water again and you'll only be using energy to heat water when you actually need it.
Benefits of tankless water heaters include:
- Energy savings: Tankless water heaters are more energy-efficient than traditional water heaters because they only heat water when it's needed. This can result in significant savings on your monthly energy bills.
- Endless hot water: With a tankless water heater, you'll never have to worry about running out of hot water, even if you have multiple appliances or fixtures using hot water at the same time.
- Space-saving design: Tankless water heaters are compact and can be installed on a wall, freeing up valuable floor space in your home.
- Longer lifespan: Tankless water heaters typically have a longer lifespan than traditional water heaters, lasting up to 20 years or more with proper maintenance.
- Reduced risk of water damage: Since tankless water heaters don't store water, there's no risk of a tank leaking or bursting, which can cause costly water damage to your home.

Signs You Need Water Heater Repair
A water heater that is slowly deteriorating, doesn't seem like a huge deal, until you are showering and your water becomes ice cold. Your water heater is working 24/7 to provide hot water to your home and has a lot of stress put on it daily. Below are three signs to look for to know when you need water heater repair in Fairfax.
Your Water Heater May Need to Be Serviced If:
- Irregular Water Temperatures - Have you noticed that your shower or sink water temperatures seem to fluctuate? With fluctuating water temperatures, it's usually a clear sign that something is wrong with your water heater and it needs repair.
- Discolored Water - Your water should never be any other color besides, clear. If you notice your water looks hazy or is coming out with a brownish color, it's possible your water heater has rust and is in need of repair or replacement.
- Strange Noises - You water heater will always make some noise as it is warming of your water. But, if you are hearing loud bangs or clangs, it could be a broken dip tube or the inside of your water heater tank has mineral deposits built up and is making the water heater much nosier.
Can a Leaking Water Heater Be Fixed?
A leaking water heater is one of those situations that drives fear into the hearts of homeowners everywhere, because more often than not, a leak signifies that the water heater needs to be replaced. However, there are some limited situations where a water heater leak is repairable. It all depends on the age of the unit, the severity of the leak, and the cause of the leak.
Here's what you need to remember:
- If the water heater is leaking from the top, you may have an issue with a faulty drain valve or a leaking joint. Thankfully, these issues are usually simple fixes, and can be resolved with either a part replacement or by simply tightening the plumbing connection.
- If the leak is originating from the T&P (temperature and pressure) valve, that could mean that either the valve needs replacement, the thermostat is set too high, or your home's water pressure needs to be reduced. If any of these are the culprit, your water heater does not need replacing.
- If a water heater is leaking from the base of the tank, you will need a new water heater. This type of a leak is caused by corrosion, which cannot be fixed.
A leaking water heater can cause serious property damage if left unchecked, so don't ignore a leak when you see one. Give us a call as soon as possible to have one of our qualified water heater technicians check it out.
