Water Heater Repair Frequently Asked Questions
Is a tank or tankless water
heater cheaper?
A tank water heater is less expensive
to purchase, but a tankless is more
efficient thereby saving money over
time.
What is a tankless water heater?
A tankless water heater does not have a
storage tank. It heats water directly. When
you turn on your hot water faucet, cold water
will travel through a pipe into the unit. Either a
gas burner or an electric element heats the
water as it passes through a heat exchanger.
Tankless water heaters deliver an “on-
demand” and constant supply of hot water.
Can I get an electric tankless
water heater?
Tankless water heaters can be
operated by either gas or electricity.
Why do I need to hire a plumber?
It’s important that you choose a qualified,
licensed plumber to repair or install your water
heater. Not only could it be a health risk, you also
risk the possibility damaging your property
significantly, if not installed properly. We are
trained professionals with years of training and
experience. We are qualified to perform water
heater repairs and installations up to code.
What are some reasons to buy a tankless
instead of a traditional tank water heater?
Every situation is different, but some reasons are that
they can be installed in small spaces, they do not run
out of hot water and are usually less expensive to
operate.all your water heater. Not only could it be a
health risk, you also risk the possibility damaging your
property significantly, if not installed properly. We are
trained professionals with years of training and
experience. We are qualified to perform water heater
repairs and installations up to code.
What if I see water around my water heater? Is
my tank leaking?
Water on the floor or in the drain pan is generally
caused by one of the following:
Drain valve leaking
Condensation
Temperature and pressure relief valve leaking
Leaking from piping near the inlet and outlet
Leak at gas valve threaded connection (gas
water heaters only)
Leak from gaskets for electric elements (electric
water heaters only)
Leak in water heater storage tank
A leaking water heater tank will continue to leak. If you
notice that the water is coming and going you may
have a condensation issue. This can form when a
water heater is over used. If your tank is leaking, it
needs to be replaced and Performance Plumbing can
provide water heater installation generally in one day.
