Common Causes of Hot Water Heater Issues

Common problems include:

Annual inspections by a licensed plumber are essential for preventing emergencies, ensuring warranty compliance, and improving longevity. Our maintenance services include flushing, part replacements, multi-point inspections, anode rod checks, and safety valve assessments.

Upgrade to a Tankless Water Heater

If you're tired of running out of hot water or dealing with a bulky, inefficient water heater, it may be time to consider upgrading to a tankless water heater. Unlike traditional water heaters, tankless models heat water on demand, providing a continuous supply of hot water whenever you need it.

Benefits of upgrading to a tankless water heater include:

• Endless hot water: With a tankless water heater, you'll never have to worry about running out of hot water, even during peak usage times.
• Energy savings: Tankless water heaters are more energy-efficient than traditional models, helping you save on your monthly utility bills.
• Space-saving design: Tankless water heaters are compact and can be installed on walls or in tight spaces, freeing up valuable floor space.
• Longer lifespan: Tankless water heaters typically last longer than traditional models, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
• Reduced risk of leaks: Without a large storage tank, tankless water heaters are less prone to leaks and water damage.

Our Sacramento water heater experts can assess your current water heater and provide recommendations on the best tankless options for your home and budget. Contact Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Sacramento today to learn more about upgrading to a tankless water heater.
