Water Heater Services in Rockwood MI

Every water heater needs service eventually, but old models typically need more frequent repairs. If your system “came with the house” or looks outdated, it might be time to think about water heater installation.

Look out for these signs that you need water heater repair or replacement:

• Leaks
• Cold water
• Fluctuating temperatures
• Discolored water
• Strange noises
• Low water pressure
• High energy bills
• Unpleasant odors

Traditional heaters might take some time to warm your water, especially if you recently used an appliance or took a hot shower. However, if your water heater takes an excessively long time or runs out quickly, you might have a damaged burner or heating element. It’s also possible that you need a bigger heater for your household.

Water heaters gradually accumulate sediment as they operate. This sediment is harmless to humans, but if you don’t occasionally flush out the system, the sediment could clog your heater or produce discolored water. Hard water also produces mineral buildup that could lead to an unexpected breakdown.

To reduce the risk of repairs, hire Superior Comfort Heating and Cooling for yearly water heater maintenance. We’ll inspect your water heater, tighten valves, make small repairs, replace parts, and check your equipment for safety issues.

If you’re getting a new system, you can choose between traditional and tankless water heaters. Traditional water heaters store water in a tank and keep it warm until it’s ready for use. The continuous heating results in energy loss, but traditional heaters are powerful enough to supply every appliance with hot water.

Tankless water heaters reduce your energy loss by heating the water directly as it passes through your plumbing. These heaters are more efficient, but they might struggle to support multiple appliances or fixtures running at once. Typically, we recommend tankless heaters for homeowners who want to enhance a single fixture.
