Toronto plumbers sometimes encounter unusual problems with electric water heaters, but the vast majority of the time, it's one of the typical issues we encounter. Some of the most common water heater problems our plumbers notice that lead to water heater replacements are:

• A damaged or broken heating element that is beyond repair
• Electrical panel issue or flipped circuit breaker
• Faulty thermostat
• Sediment buildup in the storage tank
• Rust inside the tank, causing discoloured water
• Hard mineral deposits are blocking water flow
• An undersized water heater for the number of people in the household
• The anode rod needs replacement
• Damaged or deteriorated pressure relief valve
• The unit is too old to function properly
• You've had an abundance of repairs and still face issues.

No matter which of these issues you have faced, the solution starts with an electric water heater replacement. Toronto locals shouldn't have to struggle with having hot water that comes in and out when your hot water heater solutions start with our team.

It depends on your unit's current condition and performance, but it's quite possible that replacement services from our expert Toronto plumbers could reduce your energy bills by improving the energy efficiency of your electric water heater. These units need a significant amount of electrical power to operate because your electric hot water tank is constantly heating somewhere between 60 and 100 gallons of water. That's a fair trade-off when you're dealing with an energy-efficient water heater, but over time, the unit is bound to deteriorate and lose its ability to operate efficiently, so it uses a lot more electricity for the same amount of hot water.

With the right game plan for electric water heater replacement, Toronto homeowners can rest easy knowing our plumber can replace it with a brand-new, energy-efficient model that uses electricity more effectively. This way, you don't have to pay as much for the energy costs on your utility bill.

Regular inspections and maintenance can prevent many common failures and even extend your water heater's lifespan by several years. That's why we recommend flushing the tank, checking and testing the pressure relief valve, and inspecting or replacing the anode rod when necessary. It's best to hire a licensed professional to perform regular water heater maintenance, as they can also diagnose underlying issues such as strange noises, leaks, faulty heating elements, or corrosion, which affect the performance and longevity of your water heater.

To avoid extensive water damage, leaks require immediate attention. Unusual noises, such as knocking or popping, often indicate sediment buildup or pressure-related issues. Pressure relief valves should be tested annually to prevent excessive pressure buildup that can cause leaks or complete tank failure. If you notice leaks or strange noises, we recommend immediately shutting off the water heater and calling a licensed plumber to diagnose the problem promptly, as you might need to get an electric water heater replacement. Toronto plumbers from our team will guide you in the right direction.

To increase the energy efficiency of your home's electric water heater, we recommend setting the thermostat to around 49°C, insulating the tank and hot water pipes, promptly addressing leaks, and considering installing low-flow fixtures to reduce hot water demand. In fact, insulating the water heater and pipes can reduce energy loss by up to 40%. You should monitor your household's hot water usage and curb personal habits, such as cutting back on shower time. In the long run, this will help you save energy and reduce costs.

One of the most significant safety hazards with water heaters is a malfunctioning pressure relief valve. When left unaddressed, it can lead to tank explosions. We encourage you to test the temperature and pressure relief valve regularly, check for any signs of leaks, and never ignore signs of corrosion or malfunction. Any issue with these components can cause tanks to burst and extensive water damage. By scheduling annual professional inspections, you can ensure your water heater's safety and functionality.

Toronto water is moderately hard, averaging 6 to 7 grains per gallon, which accelerates sediment accumulation. Sediment buildup occurs when minerals like calcium carbonate in Toronto's hard water settle to the bottom of the tank, reducing efficiency and causing strange noises like banging or rattling. But flushing the tank every 6 to 12 months helps prevent buildup. Schedule annual professional flushes to keep sediment levels low and prolong your heater's life.

When you're thinking about your upcoming Toronto water heater replacement services, you might be wondering about the best steps to take to be as prepared as possible for our plumber to arrive. The first step you can take is to be sure someone is home and available to let our team in and guide us to the location of your water heater.
