Signs You Need Water Heater Repair
Many warning signs signal the need for water heater repair. Homeowners and business managers should look out for signs like:
- Leaks in the tank.
- Popping or rumbling noises coming from the tank.
- Discolored or rusty water.
- The water takes too long to heat up.
- Visible rust or corrosion signs on tank or pipe fittings.
- No hot water.
- The unit shuts on and off.
- A spike in your energy bills.
If you notice any of these signs, don’t hesitate to call on Tru Plumbing and Gas for hot water heater repair.
Water Heater Repair vs Replacement
We are always asked by our customers whether they should continue repairing or replace their water heater. If the issue is isolated to a specific part and the unit is on the younger side (less than 10 years old), repair makes sense. There are, however, a few factors to consider for replacement.
- Age of the water heater: Most water heaters last eight to 12 years, and even with consistent repairs, they will begin to fail.
- Tank is cracked or severely corroded: Most cracked tanks require a full replacement, and it makes more sense to replace the entire unit.
- You want a more energy-efficient system: Upgrading to a tankless system could be the way to go.
- The 50% rule: If you are facing repairs on an older model that add up to half the cost of a new model, you should always replace the unit.
Water Heater Repair Cost
Water heater repair costs vary widely depending on the type of issue, the unit's make and model, and whether parts need to be replaced. At Tru Plumbing and Gas, we believe in transparent, upfront pricing, meaning you will always know the cost before work begins.
Common repair costs typically range on the lower end for simple fixes like a thermostat or heating element replacement, to more involved repairs such as pressure relief valve replacement, anode rod replacement, or sediment tank flushing.

Types of Water Heaters We Repair
We work on both tanked and tankless water heaters. Tanked models come in different sizes and are normally powered by gas or electricity. We will always correctly size the tanked model based on your home or business's hot water demand. Tanked water heaters need preventive sediment flushing services yearly, which we recommend doing in the spring.
Tankless water heaters are a popular choice due to their high energy efficiency and on-demand functioning. Tankless models can also experience scale build up and will need descaling services.
For businesses, we also work on high-capacity systems designed to meet the demands of heavy use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the water not getting hot enough?
Your water may not be getting hot enough due to a thermostat regulator issue or a faulty heating element. Call Tru Plumbing and Gas to assess the issue.
Why does my water heater take so long to heat up?
Your water heater could be taking longer to heat up due to sediment building up in the tank, an undersized tank, or low gas pressure. Schedule a consultation with Tru Plumbing and Gas.
Why is my water heater making noises (popping, banging, hissing)?
Popping and banging are the sounds of sediment buildup rising to the top of the tank. Hissing could be anything from loose components to a pressure issue.
Why does the water smell bad (like rotten eggs)?
Your water is smelling bad due to your water tank’s anode rod disintegrating and reacting with the sulfates in the water. It’s a sign to replace your anode rod.
Why is my water discolored or rusty?
Rusty water or discoloration usually means an anode rod has deteriorated and needs replacement. Rusty water can also mean your tank is corroded past the point of repair.
Why does my water heater keep shutting off?
Your water heater could be shutting off due to sediment buildup, a faulty thermocouple, or an ignition issue. These can all be serious and damaging and need professional consultation.
Why does my water heater trip the breaker/blow a fuse?
Your water heater tripping the breaker or blowing the fuse is usually linked to an electrical issue. This could be due to worn-out and damaged wiring, a faulty thermostat, or even moisture intrusion near your electrical panel.

Great communication and fair pricing
Jason P, Jose L, Matt H and Travis M with Tru Plumbing and Gas was fantastic to work with. They were on time, professional, and fixed the issue quickly. Great communication and fair pricing. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend their services!
Clean and careful
Timely response . Complicated installation and no damage done. A large crew of 5-6 workers showed up on time. They were polite, truly concerned, clean and careful, installing 3 water heaters with difficult attic access. They waited around to make sure the heaters were working properly and even came back the next day. Also thanks for the pizza...
There in less than an hour
Waterline broke halfway up the yard gushing 480 gallons an hour. Called Tru and Baron was there in less than an hour and had our entire line replaced from the street to the house (80 feet) that day. Amazing.
