Water Heater Repair Service FAQs
Yes, you can repair a water heater yourself, but it is highly recommended that you have a professional repair it for you. To repair a water heater yourself, you would need the following:
- A permit to repair the water heater
- Knowledge of plumbing
- Knowledge of electrical connections
- Knowledge of ventilation systems
- The proper equipment and tools
Trying to repair your water heater on your own is not a simple process. It is important that you have the correct equipment and knowledge to carry out the repair if you do plan on doing it yourself.
A water heater repair typically takes around 1 and a half hours.
Some things that can affect the time it takes include:
- Removing the old water heater
- Repair the new water heater
- Connecting the gas, power and water lines
Generally, if there are no complications with the repair, it should be completed in just a matter of hours and be ready to run.
It costs around $1,500 on average to repair a water heater in Phoenix, AZ.
Some things that can impact the overall cost are:
- The type of water heater you want repaired
- The size of the water heater you will need
- The cost to remove your old water heater and repair the new one
The price can also vary depending on if you get a tankless or tank water heater. Tankless water heaters can provide you more savings on energy each month, but they are more expensive initially.
Tankless water heaters are generally easier to repair compared to traditional tank water heaters. They have fewer components and simpler designs, making diagnosis and repair more straightforward. Additionally, many tankless models come with diagnostic features that help identify issues quickly. However, specialized knowledge and tools may be required for repairs, so it's advisable to consult a professional technician. Overall, the streamlined design and diagnostic capabilities of tankless water heaters often result in easier and more efficient repair processes.
If your water heater is leaking:
- Turn off the power to the unit immediately to prevent electrical hazards.
- Shut off the water supply to the heater to stop the leak.
- Drain the tank if the leak is severe to avoid water damage.
- Inspect the area for visible cracks or loose connections.
- Contact a professional plumber to diagnose and repair the issue, as a leaking water heater often requires expert attention to prevent further damage.
