FAQs
What are the most common signs my tank water heater needs repair?
Watch for lukewarm or quickly cooling water, fluctuating temperature, rumbling or popping sounds, rusty-colored water, visible leaks around the tank, or a sudden spike in energy bills. Any of these can indicate sediment buildup, a failing heating element, or tank corrosion that requires professional attention.
How fast can Swift Repairs Plumbing get to my Sharps Chapel home in an emergency?
Because we’re headquartered right here in Union County, our on-call technicians can usually arrive within 60–90 minutes for urgent water-heater issues. For non-emergencies, we offer same-day or next-day appointments to minimize downtime and inconvenience.
Do you service every brand and fuel type of conventional tank water heaters?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers repair and maintain all major brands—including Rheem, A.O. Smith, Bradford White, State, and Whirlpool—as well as lesser-known labels. We handle both gas and electric models, from 20-gallon utility heaters to 80-gallon family-size units.
How much will a typical tank water heater repair cost?
After an on-site diagnostic, we provide a written, upfront quote. Simple fixes such as thermostat replacement or minor valve repairs often run $150–$250. Element or gas-control replacements average $250–$450, while extensive sediment flushing or leak remediation can range up to $600. Estimates are free, and we never start work until you approve the price.
Should I repair or replace my older water heater?
Consider replacement if the unit is 10–12 years old, shows rust on the tank, leaks from the base, or needs frequent repairs. If the tank is under 8 years old and the problem is limited to a replaceable part (thermostat, heating element, T&P valve), repair is usually more cost-effective. Our technicians will outline both options and factor in energy efficiency, warranty status, and your budget.
What maintenance can I do to extend the life of my water heater after it’s repaired?
1) Drain and flush the tank once a year to remove sediment. 2) Have the anode rod inspected/replaced every 3–5 years. 3) Keep the thermostat set to 120 °F to reduce wear and save energy. 4) Test the temperature-and-pressure (T&P) valve annually. 5) Insulate the hot-water pipes and, if the unit is in an unheated area, add a water-heater blanket. Scheduling annual professional checkups with Swift Repairs Plumbing will help ensure these tasks are done correctly.
