Signs of a water heater malfunction: What to look for?

It is difficult to determine a water heater's condition by external signs, as most important components are hidden from view. This is why few people know in advance that they will soon need water heater repair services. However, some signs can help you identify a malfunction.

• Absence or shortage of hot water—If hot water runs out quickly or not at all, it may indicate a malfunction of the heating element or thermostat. This is a clear sign that repairs are necessary.
• Noise or humming—Unusual sounds suggest sediment accumulation at the bottom of the tank, which can impede the water heater's operation and lead to overheating or reduced efficiency. Removing scale and sediment is a common routine maintenance service for water heaters of all types.
• Water leakage—This unpleasant issue can occur suddenly due to corrosion of the tank body or damage to valves and connections. Detecting a leak signals the need for immediate inspection and possible replacement of the equipment. Regular use of a water heater cleaning service can help avoid this situation, as dirty tanks are more susceptible to corrosion.  
• Changes in water quality—Cloudy water, a metallic taste, or impurities indicate corrosion inside the tank. The internal components of the water heater begin to deteriorate, and leaks may soon appear.  
• Water temperature fluctuations—Unstable temperatures point to problems with the thermostat or heating element.  
• Increased energy consumption—If your electricity or gas bills have suddenly increased, your equipment may be outdated or faulty, requiring more resources to maintain the desired temperature.  
• Weak hot water pressure—This can indicate sediment accumulation or problems with piping. Both issues can be avoided by using a professional service for water heaters. Regular servicing and cleaning of heaters will be cheaper than repairs.

What should you do if you notice any of these signs?

If you notice any of these signs, contact a water heater repair service provider right away. Qualified technicians can diagnose the problem and provide a solution to ensure the smooth operation of your hot water system.

Even if no major issues are found, if your water heater has been in use for more than 10–15 years, it likely needs replacement. Older units become less energy efficient and have a higher risk of breakdowns. A water leak can occur at any time, so avoid leaving them unattended for long.

Safety precautions: Can I use faulty heaters?

• Using faulty heaters is dangerous and strongly discouraged. A malfunctioning water heater can pose serious threats to your home and family’s health due to several potentially hazardous situations.
• Risk of explosion—Gas-fired equipment can experience excessive pressure from faulty valves or components. Leaks or malfunctioning thermostats can also lead to overheating and critical pressure build-up.
• Risk of fire—even a small gas leak can ignite a fire. In electric water heaters, the danger comes from faulty electrical components.
• Water leakage and risk of electric shock—If the water heater leaks, water can enter electrical components, creating a high risk of electric shock.
• The risk of unstable water temperature—Unpredictable temperature surges increase the likelihood of burns, especially for children and the elderly.
