Trusted Local Experts for Electric Water Heater Service

The last thing you want to face after a great day at the North Carolina Museum of Art is a broken water heater. Fortunately, Thermo Direct Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, and Electrical is the trusted local expert for providing a variety of electric water heater services in the Raleigh area. From repairs and routine maintenance to brand-new electric water heater installations, we offer professional services you can count on to keep the hot water flowing in your home.

Electric Water Heater Installation and Replacement

The team at Thermo Direct is available for expert electric water heater installation and replacement services. If your current water heater has reached the end of its lifespan, we’ll help you decide which replacement option is best for you. If you’re considering upgrading to a new, more energy-efficient water heater, we install brand-new tankless models for extra space and energy savings. Our skilled plumbers will assess your needs and budget to make sure that you receive the best possible replacement or new water heater for your home.

Our company provides installation services for new hybrid electric water heaters in Raleigh, NC, also known as heat pump water heaters. This newer water heater style combines a traditional electric resistance element with a heat pump to heat your home’s water more efficiently. They draw heat from the surrounding air to warm the water and use electricity to move heat instead of generating it. The electric element provides backup heating during the winter or periods of high demand. You’ll get a reliable supply of hot water along with significant energy savings.

Electric Water Heater Repair Services

Most electric water heaters last between 10 and 15 years in Raleigh homes. However, you may simply need professional electric water heater repairs to correct a specific issue. If you’re facing a major issue, we also provide same-day and 24/7 emergency electric water heater repair services for urgent problems.

Before you decide to replace your electric water heater altogether, look for these signs that may indicate you need expert repairs.

No hot water: If you have no hot water at all, it could be due to a broken heating element or a thermostat issue.
Inconsistent temperature: When your water is sometimes too hot, too cold, or too lukewarm, it’s a sign that you need professional repairs as soon as possible.
Low hot water supply: If you notice that you run out of hot water more quickly than usual, the water heater could be nearing the end of its lifespan, or the heating element may need to be replaced.
Discolored water: Any time your home’s water appears dark or rusty in color, it indicates that the inside of your tank is rusted or corroded, which may lead to leaks.
Unpleasant odors: Water with a rotten egg or other “icky” smell could be due to a corroded anode rod or excess bacteria buildup in the tank.
Strange noises: Odd popping, banging, or crackling sounds may indicate an internal issue or excessive sediment buildup.
Leaks: If you notice water leaking from your water heater or pooling around the base of the tank, it’s usually a sign of an internal tank failure or plumbing issue.
High energy bills: An unexpected spike in your water and/or energy bills without a change in usage could indicate that your water heater has a faulty part or is reaching the end of its lifespan.

Preventive Maintenance & Efficiency Tips

Thermo Direct services both electric and gas water heaters, including preventive maintenance to give you peace of mind. Here are some helpful tips for preventative electric water heater maintenance and efficiency to keep your water heater in top shape all year round:

Tips for preventative maintenance:

Drain, flush, and refill your electric water heater tank annually to remove sediment that reduces efficiency and causes corrosion and damage.
Test the pressure relief valve by opening it to make sure water flows freely, then close it completely to prevent excess pressure buildup.
Inspect the anode rod once a year and replace it if it looks significantly rusty or corroded.
Check all the plumbing pipes and connections to your water heater for signs of leaks or corrosion, paying close attention to the base of the tank.
Inspect the water heater’s electrical components and connections to make sure they’re tight, and check that the thermostat and heating elements are both working properly.
Schedule annual professional water heater maintenance with Thermo Direct to prevent major issues and extend its lifespan.

Tips for efficiency:

Keep the water heater thermostat set to 120 degrees or lower, as keeping it hotter increases the odds of a breakdown and wastes energy.
Place an insulation blanket over older tanks and use foam insulation for hot water pipes to reduce heat loss.
Confirm that the area around your water heater is clear and free of obstructions and that the intake vents aren’t blocked to ensure proper airflow.
If you’re planning to be away from home for an extended period, use the vacation mode setting on your thermostat to save money on energy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I repair or replace my electric water heater in Raleigh?

If your electric water heater in Raleigh is 10 to 15 years old or older and you’ve paid for frequent repairs, it’s probably best to replace it. However, if your water heater is less than 10 years old and only has rare, occasional issues, a repair is the better choice.

Why is my electric water heater not producing hot water?

Your electric water heater is likely not producing hot water due to one of several issues. A failed thermostat, tripped breaker, and failing heating element are the most common causes of an electric water heater failing to produce hot water.

What size electric water heater do I need for my Raleigh home?

The size of your electric water heater depends on several factors, including how many people live in your home, how many bathrooms you have, and your overall usage. Smaller homes and families may only need a 30- to 40-gallon tank, while larger families and homes may need a 50- to 80-gallon tank.
