Common Issues with Hot Water Heaters

A hot water heater issue can quickly disrupt your day and lead to costly repairs if left unattended. Here are some of the most common problems:

  • Leaks: If your water heater is leaking, it can cause significant water damage to your home. A leak often indicates issues with the tank or pipes.
  • Insufficient Hot Water: This is a frequent issue caused by problems like a faulty thermostat, heating element, or even an old water heater that’s too small for your household's needs.
  • Unusual Noises: If you hear strange noises like banging, popping, or rumbling, these sounds can often signal sediment build up in the tank, which can reduce efficiency and cause long-term damage.
  • Temperature Fluctuations: Inconsistent water temperature may point to thermostat issues or a malfunctioning heating element.
  • Rust-Coloured Water: This indicates corrosion inside the tank, which may require a replacement.

If you experience any of these issues, Impetus Plumbing can help diagnose and fix your hot water heater problems. Call us today!

Types of Water Heaters

  • Electric Water Heaters: Reliable and affordable, these popular models use electric elements to heat water in a storage tank. Electric hot water tanks offer consistent performance for most households.
  • Tankless Water Heaters: Also called "on-demand heaters", provide hot water instantly without storing it. A tankless water heater is great for saving energy and delivering endless hot water supply.
  • Gas Water Heaters: Powered by natural gas or propane, they heat water quickly, often at lower energy costs compared to electric models.
  • Solar Water Heaters: Utilize solar panels to heat water. They are an eco-friendly option with long-term savings on energy bills.
  • Hybrid Water Heaters: Combine electric and heat pump technologies to maximize efficiency. These types of heaters can reduce energy consumption and operating costs.

Impetus is a trustworthy, reliable and expert plumbing and heating service. They have a good crew of people who are kind and conscientious. They fixed my outdoor tap and installed a water sensor so we can turn off all the water in the house if there's a leak. Amazing!

Lawson is a professional repair technician. He tried his best to help me repair my furnace and did not force me to replace with a new machine.

We had to get a backflow test done on our sprinklers so we called Impetus and they were awesome to deal with. They came out right away and Alvin was super friendly and knowledgeable. He had the test done in no time and they submit report to city on our behalf. We will definitely use them in future!

First time using Impetus Plumbing and was highly impressed by their quick responses and professionalism. Jason was very understanding and I appreciate how they utilized technology by sending text reminders to my phone, email address and digital quotes through their client hub. Their client hub allowed you to input your credit card payment, view upcoming appointments, request service, and let you know which plumber(s) will be arriving for the job. I liked how they quoted me a firm price and not have to guess parts, labour etc... after the job is completed. I hate second guessing for things like this as the price of everything has gone up.Joshua and Alvin arrived promptly and managed to change the washing machine hoses without having to move the stacked washer/dryer out of its place as it's fit quite snug (especially with modern day condos). They were like ninja's and I'm not sure how they are so flexible, but they managed to get behind the washer and dryer in a really tight space. I'm so glad my laminate flooring was safe since they didn't have to move anything! Josh and Alvin even managed to send me videos of their completed work.They also did a great job for a fellow neighbour of mine as she reached out to a few other places, but Impetus did everything right from a simple inquiry to executing the job the next day.Highly recommend as these guys are modern and not old school! Give Impetus a call, you won't be disappointed.

Was referred to Jason from Impetus by a neighbour. Jason was quick and professional on replies and helped organize an appointment to fit my schedule. Josh and Alvin came to replace washer hoses for my washing machine. Not only were they punctual, both were friendly and courteous. They were able to troubleshoot the narrow space and replace the hoses efficiently. Everyone I’ve dealt with so far at Impetus has been great with communication and customer service. Thanks Impetus. I highly recommend them and will be using their services again when needed.

Woke up to no hot water today. I contacted Impetus Plumbing through a former tradesman who had done work here before. They were so prompt, quick diagnosis, expedient quote and they were able to complete the full workorder today.Josh and Michael were simply exceptional, professional, polite and helped troubleshoot an issue I had with equipment placement. I would recommend this organization and ask for one of these amazing technicians!

Darryl Wong came highly recommended via a friend who had their high efficiency furnace serviced. And Darryl didn’t disappoint. He came and serviced our Viessman boiler. He took it apart and cleaned out the minor built up and explained what he was doing along the way. He was very thorough with the maintainance and I learnt a lot as well. He sent me photos and report of his findings. Definitely would recommend Impetus and Darryl to friends and family.
