Toronto Electric Water Heater Repair & Replacements

There's the odd time when our plumbers encounter a truly unusual problem with an electric hot water tank, but the vast majority of the time, it's one of the typical issues that we come across on a regular basis. Some of the most common water heater problems our plumbers deal with are:

• Damaged or broken heating element
• Electrical panel issue or flipped circuit breaker
• Faulty thermostat
• Sediment build-up in storage tank
• Rust inside the tank, causing discolored water
• Hard mineral deposits blocking water flow
• Undersized water heater for the number of people in a household
• Anode rod needs a replacement
• Damaged or deteriorated pressure relief valve
• Unit is too old to function properly

It depends on the current condition and performance of your unit, but it's quite possible that repair or replacement services from our expert Toronto plumbers could make a difference in your energy bills by reducing the energy consumption of your electric water heater. These units need a significant amount of electrical power to operate because your electric hot water tank is constantly heating somewhere between 60 and 100 gallons of water. That's a fair trade-off when you're dealing with an energy-efficient water heater, but over time, the unit is bound to deteriorate and lose its ability to operate efficiently so it uses a lot more electricity for the same amount of hot water.

With the right game plan for electric water heater repair or replacement, your local plumber can restore your old unit to a more efficient operating condition or replace it with a brand-new, energy-efficient model that is capable of using electricity more effectively so you don't have to pay as much for the energy costs on your utility bill.
