Green Bay Water Heater Repair & Replacement
Water heater repair in Green Bay becomes urgent the morning the shower runs cold, and in a climate where the normal January low is about 11 degrees that is not a small problem. No hot water, hot water that runs out too soon, rusty or smelly hot water, a tank that rumbles or water on the floor around the unit: our team repairs and replaces water heaters in Green Bay, De Pere, Ashwaubenon and Howard. Call (920) 247-2089 today; same-day visits are often possible when a plumber is available.
Repair
Many water heater problems are repairs, not replacements. On a gas unit that means a thermocouple, igniter, gas control valve or a blocked vent. On an electric unit it is usually a heating element or thermostat. Either kind can need a new anode rod, dip tube, drain valve or relief valve. Our plumbers test before they replace parts, so the repair fixes the actual fault. Our team is fully committed to reliable water heater repair in Green Bay.
Replacement
A tank that leaks from the shell cannot be repaired, and a unit near the end of its life may not be worth a major part. Our team sizes the new heater to the household, sets it to current code with the right venting, relief line and shut-off, and removes the old tank. We will ensure that your water heater replacement in Green Bay is handled by professionals.
Tankless Water Heaters
A tankless water heater saves floor space and heats water only when a tap opens. In Green Bay the incoming water is very cold in winter, so a tankless unit has to be sized for a large temperature rise, and a gas model may need a larger gas line and new venting. Our team will make sure you understand those requirements and the maintenance involved. We are committed to making tankless water heater installation in Green Bay simple and reliable.
Local Water And Maintenance
Green Bay Water Utility draws from Lake Michigan and reports hardness of about 130 milligrams per litre, roughly 7.5 grains per gallon, which the utility describes as neither soft nor hard. That is gentler on a water heater than well water, but minerals still settle in the tank over time. Flushing the tank and checking the anode rod helps a heater last. Our team is focused on high-quality water heater maintenance across Green Bay.
Gas And Electric
Both gas and electric water heaters are common in Green Bay homes. A gas heater needs correct venting and combustion air, and a carbon monoxide alarm nearby is a sensible precaution. An electric heater needs the right breaker and wiring. Switching from one fuel to the other is a bigger job and, in the City of Green Bay, needs a permit. When you need gas or electric water heater service in Green Bay, our team is ready to help.
Signs Your Water Heater Needs Attention
- No hot water, or hot water that runs out sooner than it used to
- Rumbling, popping or banging from the tank
- Rusty, cloudy or bad-smelling hot water
- Water around the base of the tank or dripping from the relief valve
- A pilot light that will not stay lit
