When to Call for Water Heater Repair
Got a water heater that’s acting more high-maintenance than helpful? Don’t worry—you don’t have to put up with mildly warm baths or a unit that makes strange noises in the middle of the night. Our team specializes in diagnosing and repairing water heaters of all makes and models.
Here are a few signs it’s time to bring in the pros for repairs:
- Water that runs cold despite being set to heat
- Strange banging, popping, or whining noises from the tank
- Rust-colored or murky water coming from your taps
- Water pooling near your water heater (hello, leak!)
- Reduced efficiency or higher-than-usual utility bills
Whether it’s a faulty heating element or a sediment buildup in the tank, we have the tools and expertise to get your water heater back in business quickly.
Time for an Upgrade? Here’s Why It’s Worth It.
Every water heater has its expiration day. If yours is nearing the end of its lifespan—or just can’t seem to keep up with your household’s needs—it might be time to consider a replacement. The good news? Newer models are more efficient, cost-effective, and reliable than ever before. At Doug Anderson Plumbing and Heating, we install a variety of water heater types to suit your home and lifestyle. Considering an upgrade?
Here’s a quick comparison of the benefits modern systems offer:
- Traditional storage tank water heaters - These classics store a supply of hot water that’s ready to go when you need it. They’re reliable, affordable, and ideal for households with consistent hot water needs.
- Tankless water heaters - Say goodbye to running out of hot water! Tankless systems heat water on demand, so you’ll never stand in a cold shower again. Plus, they’re energy-efficient, space-saving, and perfect for modern households looking to reduce their utility bills.
- Heat pump water heaters - An eco-friendly option that extracts heat from the air to warm your water. These systems can significantly lower energy use and are a great choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.
Not sure which option is right for you? Our team will walk you through the pros and cons, making it easy to choose a water heater that fits your needs and budget.

Maintenance Makes All the Difference
Much like we visit the doctor for regular check-ups, your water heater needs a little TLC to stay in peak condition. Routine maintenance helps prolong the life of your unit, reduces the risk of breakdowns, and makes sure it’s operating efficiently year-round.
Here’s what our water heater maintenance services include:
- Flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup
- Inspecting the anode rod to prevent rust and corrosion
- Testing the thermostat and heating elements for accuracy
- Checking for leaks or signs of wear and tear
With annual maintenance, you can avoid costly repairs and enjoy hot water without interruptions.
