It really depends on the reason it is broken, but generally, yes. Common easy fixes are thermostat malfunctions, some pilot light issues, minor leaks, and electrical connections. Some more complex fixes, like major tank leaks and gas line repairs requiring permits, might take longer.
A slow-heating water heater could be due to a malfunctioning thermostat, sediment buildup, or a leak. Your tank’s efficiency is also probably at risk.
Turn down the temperature to 120°F or lower and see if it still happens. Listen for the kind of noise (hissing, banging, whistling, etc.). Try flushing some water from the drain valve, if you know how. Call Thermo Direct if it persists, and don’t attempt your own repairs.
Check your circuit breaker and thermostat settings. For gas units, verify the pilot light is lit. If these basic checks don’t resolve the issue, contact Thermo Direct for professional water heater repair service.
It depends on how old. A water heater lasts 10-15 years. We also always recommend the 50% rule with aging appliances. If you’re facing repairs that are half the cost of your model, replace it with a newer efficient model.
Yes, in fact, it’s the best way to maintain the lifespan of your water heater. We provide tank flushing, anode rod replacement, and system inspections to prevent common problems and extend equipment life.
If your space, budget, and location allow, a larger tank is typically a better choice. This allows more water to be heated during off-peak times for future hot water use at a later time. A larger tank size will also rely more on the unit components rather than using the less efficient heating elements.
Generally, two to three hours or sometimes quicker for easier fixes. More complex repairs with pipe work and code regulations take longer.
