Water Heater & Tankless Service in Ogden, UT

No hot water

For a gas heater, check the pilot and gas control. For an electric heater, check the breaker, then the reset button behind the upper panel with the power off. If the reset keeps tripping, an element or thermostat has likely failed.

Not enough hot water

Sediment at the bottom of the tank takes up room and insulates the water from the burner. A heater that once covered several showers may now run out after one or two. Flushing helps; if the tank is old, replacement may be the better choice.

Leaks

A drip from a fitting or relief valve can often be repaired. Water seeping from the tank itself means it has failed. Close the cold-water valve on top, shut off the gas or power and put down towels or a pan until it's replaced.

When to replace

Many tanks last around eight to twelve years. Our replacement guide shows how to find the age on the label and what other signs to look for, such as rusty water or rumbling noises.

Going tankless

Tankless heaters heat water as it flows, so they don't run out and take up less space. They may need a larger gas line, new venting and a condensate drain. In cold-water months they work harder, so sizing matters. The plumber can tell you what your house would need.

What to tell the plumber

Gas or electric, tank size, roughly how old it is and what's happening. Send a request and a plumber will get in touch.
