Frequently Asked Water Heater Repair Questions

You’ve got questions? We’ve got answers!

At Five Star Home Services, our water heater repair experts often encounter issues like inconsistent water temperature, strange noises, leaks, and rusty water. If you notice any of these signs, it may be time for a water heater repair.

Regular maintenance is key to preventing water heater repair. We recommend having your water heater inspected and serviced at least once a year to ensure it operates efficiently and to catch any potential issues early.

Strange noises from your water heater can indicate sediment buildup or a failing heating element. Our water heater repair specialists at Five Star Home Services can diagnose and fix these problems, preventing further damage.

To prevent leaks, regular inspections and maintenance by our water heater repair team are essential. We can check for loose connections and sediment buildup, which are common causes of leaks.

If your water heater stops producing hot water, it could be due to a faulty thermostat or heating element. Contact Five Star Home Services for expert water heater repair to restore your hot water supply promptly.

Our water heater repair experts can help you decide whether water heater repair or water heater replacement is the best option. If your unit is over 10 years old or requires frequent water heater repairs, water heater replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run.
