Hillsdale Water Heater Installation

Faulty Heating Elements

The heating element is the mechanism that warms the water inside the heater. Over time, the element degrades, and it may break or lose the ability to heat. When this happens, you will only have cold water running through the pipes.

If you find this scenario, do not hesitate to call our affordable water heater plumber. Hillsdale, NJ, residents rely on us for prompt service and any make or model of water heater. We replace the heating element where possible or recommend buying a new water heater if the unit is old or beyond repair.

Loss of Water Pressure

Water pressure is essential for the water heater mechanism to provide hot water. Low water pressure will cause several problems, including:

• Temperature and pressure relief valve (TPR): The safety valve releases excess pressure when the water gets too hot. A water heater could even explode if the water is too hot, the pressure is too high, or the pressure relief valve is malfunctioning. Proper water pressure and an annual valve inspection will keep this from happening.
• Temperature and pressure relief valve leak: The TPR will leak when there is a surge in water pressure from the municipal water source. It will cause the valve to remain open, and we will need to flush the valve to see if that stops the issue. If the valve still leaks, our plumber will likely need to repair or replace it.
• Failing parts: Components degrade and need replacement, including gaskets, heating element bolts, fittings, and connections. We repair what we can and will only suggest a replacement if there are no other options.
