Water Heater Repair Hampstead MD
There are few things more shocking than stepping into a shower that should have hot water only to be met with icy cold water instead! Water heaters have become an almost indispensable aspect of our daily lives in Hampstead, MD, and when they stop functioning correctly its best not to ignore them.
Types of Water Heaters
There are all kinds of water heaters on the market and in operation. They vary depending on how they are powered (electric, natural gas, oil, propane, geothermal, heat pump) and whether they have a tank. Most people are familiar with the water heaters that have a tank, but not so much with tankless water heaters. Tankless water heaters can save you money on your energy bills because they heat water on demand, rather than storing water in a tank and keeping it hot even when it is not needed. This means that tankless water heaters can be up to 34% more efficient.
Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair
Obviously, not being able to get hot water from your water heater means it needs to be checked out. However, there are some other signs that aren’t quite so obvious. For example, be on the lookout for …
- Water that is not at the correct temperature
- Insufficient hot water
- Odd noises coming from your water heater (e.g., a rumbling sound)
- Rusty or muddy-looking hot water
- Hot water that smells unusual
- A leaking water heater

Typical Issues with Water Heaters
Sediment can build up in your Hampstead, MD hot water heater and reduce the amount of hot water that comes out — a problem that typically requires flushing. Sediment can also lead to banging and rumbling noises. Rusty or discolored hot water usually points to the formation of rust within your heater tank, and that might require a replacement or the addition of an anode rod to your tank. Leaks can come from a loose fitting or from the cracks within the heater itself. Sometimes the issue is with the heat source for the hot water heater, especially if the water never reaches the correct temperature.
