4 Things You Should Know about Your Water Heater

When water heater problems arise it can be a nuisance because cold showers are not fun. Before calling an Orlando plumber their are some things you should know to save time and have a proper price quoted to you over the phone. Here is a check list on what to know before you make that call to your local plumber:

1. Is the water heater leaking or just not producing hot water? This question is big because this answer is going to mean replacement or repair and if it is leaking chances are the tank is cracked and it must be replaced.
2. Is it an electric water heater or gas? This is also important because a gas water heater replacement is much more than an electric heater. Also, if it needs repair it the difference between a thermal couple or elements and thermostats.
3. Where is the water heater located and is it easy access in the garage or is it under an A/C unit?  This issue can affect the cost.
4. What is the size of the water heater?  They come in 3 different sizes tall, medium and short or low boy. This info is important because you obviously don’t want to have the plumber bring a heater that won’t fit.
