Water Heater Repair
Hot water is both a convenience and a luxury and is used for a number of vital household processes. This includes bathing, cleaning, heating, laundry, and many other functions your family uses every day. Whether your water heater is underperforming or stops working altogether, you need efficient, reliable water heater repair services to restore order to your home. Signs that you may need water heater repair include:
- Uneven heating – Having no hot water is clearly cause for concern, but so is a fluctuation in water temperature. Uneven heating is a sign that something is wrong with the heating element, warranting a call for water heater repair.
- Low pressure – Over time, mineral deposits can accumulate in large enough quantities to block your pipes, effectively reducing the pressure of your hot water.
- Leaks – A leaky water tank is a cause for concern and if left undetected or untreated can cause damage to your home and property.
- Unusual sounds – Loud or unusual noises such as banging, clanging, or popping can signal a buildup of mineral deposits and should be investigated.
- Rust – If you see signs of rust on your tank or in your water, or your hot water looks or smells strange, the tank or water lines may be corroded.

Hot Water Heater Installation
When it comes to replacing your water heater, sometimes the financial upside is just too pertinent to ignore. By replacing your water heater, you’ll avoid costly energy bills and constant repair costs. Replacement just makes sense in some instances. Should you decide on a water heater replacement, Kobella plumbers can guide you through a discussion about the possible solutions.
There are many options available in the world of water heaters — having improved drastically over the years, today’s modern models have many benefits. We offer gas water heater replacement, electric water heater replacement, and tankless water heater replacement.
Kobella plumbers can also guide you through a discussion about solutions like extra recovery models, high input models, and high-performance models, all of which provide more hot water than conventional models. Conventional tank water heaters provide you with greater energy efficiency and reduced water consumption. Tankless water heaters may allow a reduction in both water use and energy costs.
Water heater complexity varies with the type and size of your home and your hot water needs. There are many factors for you to consider when selecting a water heater replacement regarding sizing, output, and capacity:
- Demand peaks
- Growing families
- Addition of plumbing fixtures (renovations/home additions)
- Multiple draws
- Natural gas, propane, electric
Tankless Water Heater Installation
A tankless water heater does not store hot water, but rather heats cold water only when you turn on the hot water faucet; tankless water heaters are also known as “on demand” heaters.
Tankless water heaters have some advantages, including:
- Up to 25 percent reduction in heating costs
- Unlimited supply of hot water
- Unit does not take up much space
