If you need hot water, Morton Man will get you back to everyday life. Our trained plumbers diagnose common and complex water heater issues to recommend a cost-effective solution. We will fix your water heater so you can be on your way.

Water Heater Types

There are two main types of water heaters, both of which require water heater repair services at some point:

  • Gas water heaters

    come in two main types. One is a traditional 80-gallon water heater that heats with natural gas. The other is a tankless water heater. This water heater heats the water running through it with natural gas. Tankless water heaters only heat water when you need it. A gas water heater is quite cost-effective.

  • Electric water heaters

    are frequently 80-gallon tanks that heat the water with an electric element. An electric water heater is also a cost-effective unit.

Common Water Heater Problems

If you have noticed any of these problems, give Morton Man a call. We can send an experienced HVAC technician to diagnose your problem. Whether you have an electric or gas furnace, we have the skills and know-how to replace it.

Here are some signs you have a water heater problem that needs attention from a professional plumber:

Water is warm but not hot

Water is not heated at all

Water is leaking out of the unit at the base

Water is rust-colored coming out of faucets and showers

The water heater is making strange sounds like popping or groaning

The water heater is old

The water heater runs out of water quickly

Ways a Plumber Will Diagnose Your Water Heater Problem

When you call for water heater repair, our Morton Man plumber will look at several things to determine the problem and recommend a fix that gets your hot water flowing again.

One of the first inspections of the system will be to check the circuit breaker. For various reasons, the circuit breaker will trip and turn off, stopping your water heater from heating the water. The solution is to flip the breaker back into place for hot water to return.

Another problem can be a faulty heating element, which the plumber will replace to get your hot water back. Other times, the thermostat will go bad and stop regulating the water temperature. We will replace the thermostat for you.

If your hot water is running out too soon, we will recommend replacing the water heater with one of a larger size. Other issues could be a leak in the tank, a leak in the pipe leading to the tank, or a bad gasket. No matter the problem, we can find it and correct it.

How Will You Know When You Need Water Heater Replacement?

Like any appliance, a water heater will lose its effectiveness and need replacement. Our skilled plumbers will help you understand when you need to replace instead of repair.

You likely need water heater replacement in the following instances:

Your water heater is 10 or more years old. If so, it is time for a Morton Man plumber to provide efficient water heater installation to replace your old unit.

You see rust on the tank. This indicates a water leak that cannot be repaired.

Your water heater makes loud noises and does not function well.

The water heater fails to heat the water even after replacing the thermostat and heating element.

The water heater cost for replacement varies according to the type of water heater in your home. A water heater cost will average between $300 and $2,000. The complex water heaters cost more than basic models.

The cost of a Morton Man plumber installation averages between $50 and $150 per hour. For over 50 years, we have offered affordable plumbing prices and a commitment to exceptional service.
