At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Ajax-Pickering, we can handle all of your electric water heater repairs. When yours malfunctions, you might be left wondering exactly what went wrong. The truth is, there is a long list of possible answers to that question. It’s also possible that there is more than one thing wrong with your unit.
Some of the most common parts of an electric water heater that require repair include:
- Tank: The most common issue with electric hot water tanks we encounter in Ajax-Pickering is corrosion. This is due to the hard water in the region.
- Thermostat: This important part measures the temperature of the water inside your unit. When it malfunctions, your water may not heat or can overheat.
- Hot water outlet pipe: With hard water, the hot water outlet pipe can become clogged or face corrosion.
- Heating elements: A faulty heating element will not heat the water in your tank. Replacing it can solve your issue quite quickly.
- Pressure relief valve: When this part is broken, the pressure that builds up inside your tank cannot be released. This is dangerous and may cause serious issues. This is one of the parts we’ll assess during servicing appointments.
- Dip tube: The dip tube can become clogged or damaged and may need to be replaced.
- Sacrificial anode rod: Designed to corrode so that less damage is inflicted on your tank, this rod will need to be replaced every few years.
