No hot water

Trying to wash your hands or take a shower is very unpleasant with cold water.

We will diagnose the issue and fix the problem fast so you can enjoy your showers again!

Water has an odd smell

This could be due to sediment built up or rust in the unit

Water heater leaking from the top or bottom

If you think your water heater is leaking, first clean up all the water possible and attempt to find the source of the leak. This will allow you to confirm that your water heater is the issue and not your furnace, window or other water source.

A water heater leak may seem like a small issue, but your tank will fill with cold water to replace the water lost from your leak. This means the leak will continue endlessly until it’s fixed or your water is shut off. This can cause major water damage to your floors or walls and then also cause mold to grow in the affected area. Some water heater leaks are easily fixed by tightening a connection, while others are more serious or may indicate that you need a water heater replacement.

To prevent water damage, turn off the water to your tank using the shutoff valve.

Water heater pilot light won’t stay lit

Often this is due to an obstructed or damaged thermocouple or a dirty pilot tube, but there are many reasons for your pilot light to fail. Your Quality Comfort water heater expert will diagnose the root of the issue.

Water heater making noise

There are many different types of noises a water heater can make and they all can mean different things. One of the most common complaint from customers is hearing a knocking or popping sound coming from the water heater. This is typically due to sediment or mineral deposits gathering at the bottom of your water heater tank. You may be at a higher risk of this problem if you live in an area with hard water.
