Common Water Heater Problems & When to Call a Pro
No hot water on a cold morning gets noticed fast. Whether it’s a tank that quit, a pilot that won’t stay lit, or a tankless unit flashing an error code, you need it fixed today. Appliances Pro Inc. repairs gas and electric tank water heaters and tankless units across the region, and no-hot-water calls go to the front of the line from October through March.
No Hot Water
On a gas tank heater it’s usually the thermocouple or the gas control valve; on an electric one, a failed heating element or a tripped high-limit reset. Tankless units throw an error code that points straight at the cause — ignition, flow sensor, or scale.
Not Enough Hot Water or Runs Out Fast
A lower element that’s failed, a broken dip tube mixing cold into the hot outlet, or a tank half full of sediment all cut your capacity. On tankless units, hard-water scale on the heat exchanger does the same thing — a descale restores it.
Leaking, Rumbling, or Discolored Water
A leak from a valve or fitting is repairable. A leak from the tank itself is not — that’s a replacement. Rumbling and popping is sediment boiling under the element; rusty hot water points to a spent anode rod or a corroding tank.
Pilot Won’t Stay Lit or Error Codes
A pilot that dies is almost always the thermocouple or a dirty pilot assembly. Tankless error codes (Rinnai, Navien, Noritz, Rheem) usually mean ignition failure, a blocked intake or exhaust, or scale — all routine repairs when caught early.

Had a leak in my Samsung washing machine. Tested the machine and quickly found the leak. The part, which has to be ordered, is easy to install. Rather than push the installation on me he suggested I could save money and do it myself. I really appreciated that and have ordered the part and will install myself. It’s rare to see a company willing to loose a job to save the customer money.

Quick appointment available, technician had part on hand, upfront and reasonable pricing, same day fix. Would recommend and will probably need to use again.
